Thanks Leaf -- you're quick.  This one may be a stretch - fine if  you leave it out....

Thanks Leaf.  Only one of mine really fits the theme.

you may have noticed a purchase or two on lucky oliver today.  I took pictures from you and CJphoto - the two people who have posted the most on this site.

well that made me smile    -- a very fine idea

This idea has gotten legs 

Thanks again, Leaf.

Here are 4 more bringing me up to 5.

This is a creative idea - I think I've followed the steps with this image

I had two today but none since last Wednesday - that is unusual to go that long without uploads.

I use to use pixview until I accidently deleted it (and didn't find a site to get a copy from).  Based on suggestions from here, I've been using photoinfo.  Things I like are:
- edit multiple files (as a collection) and as individuals in one session allowing for common info and shot specific details
- icon at the bottom of a photo changes (a window's thing I think) showing me I've added info to a file

Things I'm not happy about:
- replaces commas with semi-colons and removes spaces
- doesn't "remember" recent keywords so you have to retype (it does remember titles and author info)
- sometimes the data isn't recognized on DT, Feature Pics (when info for files edited at the same time are)
- keywords and descriptions are never recognized by IS (this may be brower-related as I use Netscape)

thanks for the update, Darrell.  Haven't heard from you in a while and it's great to hear how things are going.  T

my add-on -- images just accepted at Stockxpert but NOT at SS -- a 180 degree change -- what's happening to the world I knew

.... I have no idea how they are finding the images. Anybody got any idea?

-- I have been wondering that, too.  I have sold fewer than those posting here and wonder how they manage to find our images. 

I have about 20 awaiting approval and 15 on line.  The 1 rejection was of a house and garden (mine) that needed a release.  When I went to look for a form I couldn't find it anywhere so it will stay rejected for a while.

I'm uploading new files only as it's easy to include sv in the list of upload sites

admart,

I had similar situation. What I noticed was that those earlier uploaded images had numbers very differently structured than lattter uploads. They seem to be just lost in cyberspace, I re-uploaded them and they seem to be normal now. You may want to look at their file numbers, if tyou see them being much longer than latter ones, forget it and upload them again, IMO

You got that right - odd numbers on these files.  I will re-upload... thanks for the tip.

I use the Photo Info tool and IS almost never picks up the description and about 10% of the time misses the keywords.  I use the one-file-at-a-time upload (painful) and keep another site open in a window so I can cut & paste the missing info.   It always picks up the title field. 

My FT update -- almost all of my pending photos got approved with the exception of 5 that I uploaded early in the upgrade process which are still pending approval.  Sold 1 photo so that brings my total to 2 since all this began.  Many thanks to those two buyers.

I really wish that they would encrypt the page where you submit your social security number. It just seems like they don't care if your identity is stolen. Or is the page encrypted somehow? It's an http address and there's no lock in the bottom right corner of the screen, so I don't think it's encrypted. 

their lack of getting it together makes the social security numbers vulerable as it's the most valuable thing that can be stolen from the site (no slam against our collective great photos).  totally agree with the concern

not sure I had an option that fit me -- I'm self-employed but not as a photographer.  Micro is a lot less than 50% of my income

my latest ft news - seems I've sold 1 photo since the upgrade but I didn't get the auto-email notice.  did get a notice of a photo accepted (well actually two emails but they referenced the same file).  This is a very old photo - not sure if it was rejected before??  It has no keywords and I cannot add any or change the price of an el from 1 credit.  Sent a message to support.

glad to hear some are back making money here - not me, sad to say.  I've not sold an image since the upgrade and that's odd since I was averaging a few a day. 

so this may be my first sign that I'm old (err well, older than I was  ) ... I'm truely not getting the purpose...

what's the deal with twitter?  It looks like a blog.  What am I missing?  Thanks for replying - it's just like the "now" version of helping a little old lady across the street

New PB for me with 7 this month - I did have a higher $ month with an EL.   

Sunday morning in the US - was able to edit one newly uploaded file (keywords were there with misspellings highlighted in red) the description filed seems to be gone as I could only find a comments fieild.  Titles didn't copy over.  Default el price resets each time back to 1 unit.  Tried file number two with no luck.  This could take a while

My accepted count is the same as before and I have some older files with 0 uploads.

Uploaded 5 files (not FTP) this am.  Got as far as pulling one up, creating categories but went to a blank white screen when I pressed the save and upload button.  Didn't pull over my title or desciption but did get my keywords.  Even though the red button is on, I'm able to log in and see the 5 unfinished files.

took the poll a little while ago

I have about 200 but no sales.  Communication has dropped off and so has my uploading.  Thanks for others providing status -- I was wondering if I was alone in $0.

just uploaded a lot and all worked fine -- I have on/off problems with Istock (seems to be connected to if I'm uploading to other sites at the same time?? really not sure)-- are you checking that little box on their upload screen?
