I really want to do more with Adobe. Despite having a really small portfolio with them, I do get some sales, which are slowly increasing. I'm really looking forward to hitting the 100 DL's (currently at 87!), so I can submit illustrative editorial work, which most of my work is... Although, after saying that, having to use their submission interface for everything does fill me with an impending sense of doom.

The rate of rejection is crazy now.
Not with me. Currently, over 90% of my submissions are getting approved with no problem. The last rejection I had was for a nonsensical caption issue, which then got accepted when it was resubmitted.

I have images reviewed as far back as 15 days now that still haven't shown up in my port. 
I start to doubt that this issue will really be fixed.
I got an email from SS today saying: "I've investigated this with our higher IT Division and they reported that currently, we are investigating a massive delay glitch in the recently approved content since we have several affected contributors. We apologize for this inconvenience and we are working with our dedicated tech teams to correct this issue to ensure that all the approved content can be published as soon as possible."

I'm lead to understand that there are some people here who frequent this page who are connected with Adobe? If that is the case, do you know if there are any plans to redesign the Adobe submission/keywording page?
Out of all the stock site submission pages I use, it is in my view that Adobe Stock's submission page is one of the most poorly designed. The whole process of having to spend an age re-arranging the keywords in order of popularity - of which you have to scroll up and down the page constantly, is unnecessarily cumbersome and time-consuming.
Whilst Shutterstock have many faults, they have a submission page that enables you to submit images far faster and easier than Adobe's submission page.

I've still got pics missing after 8 days. I emailed them and they sent me this message. Clearly a templated respose and rather OTT on the apology front.
Thank you for writing to Shutterstock Contributor Care today! I hope youre doing well. I really appreciate that you have brought this to our attention, I truly realize that artists like you work tirelessly, investing time, passion, and resources into producing high-quality content. After verifying your profile, I can confirm that the content mentioned is not visible on the Shutterstock site or your catalog manager. I really appreciate that you have brought this to our attention and I'm sorry about this. I absolutely understand how frustrating it is to face tech issues with our site. We are working daily to make sure our site is constantly improving and I have submitted your case to our higher-tech department for investigation.
Again, Im deeply sorry this has happened to you. Its not the experience we wish to create for any of our contributors. Thank you for bringing it to our attention and allowing us to address it.

I'm still having issues too. Pics that were approved 4 days ago are still not showing in my Catalog Manager

I'm currently $3 from a $100 payout and the sales have slowed down to an absolute crawl.

Sales haven't stopped for me, indeed DL's are up, but the majority of them have been 0.10 cent sales, which is pretty demoralising.

Now that I am $1 away from payout, the sales have stopped. Does anyone else see that happen or is it just a coincident.
Funny you should mention that. As soon as I hit $90 last month, I noticed sales slowed down too.

I've never had to wait 5 days. Typically I have to wait about 36hrs. When I joined SS about 18 months ago, photos were often cleared in a few minutes.

I've never liked the keyword ordering system on AS. It just slows submission time down. I wish they would adopt a system similar to what Shutterstock uses, which is quick and easy.

I have a very small port with Adobe, but DL's have noticeably increased over the last few months. At the moment, I can't submit Illustrative editorial images, because of their unusual 100 downloads rule, but once I reach that, I intend to dedicate much more time to Adobe.

The highest sale I've done was when someone bought five of my images for $137.84... each.

I haven't had too many issues. I reckon about 85% of my submissions get through first time.

I've been on P5 for about a year now (non-exclusive), and I have a small portfolio of around 300 clips. Initially, I got a sale about once every 2 weeks, but in the last 5 months or so, sales have taken a big nosedive. I haven't had a sale since July. I've sold more clips on Adobe - where I have only around 40 clips!
Somewhat reassuring that it's just not me who's experienced a downturn in sales on P5.
