You know something more than we do?

I just can't believe it... is this raise from .25 or .30?

Today I passed the 1000 dl barrier with this vector:

It took me about 1.5 months and if the trend continues I'll get there in about a month.

Congratulations on that... well it gets slowly here too... I was accepted in mid-March and had 80dl in March, and since today I had just 60dl for this month... With this tempo I'm not sure how long will it take me to reach 500usd... I guess a long long time 

I also got in the first time I tried a month ago... but so far no effect from them... I have there about 80 images (30 still pending), but all I got yet was just a few views... I hope it'll get better through the time.

I see I'm not the only one with that troubles... but uploading to multiple pages is much easier via FTP even though flash version isn't that bad.

I wonder - are they gonna do something about it?

Did anyone noticed any troubles uploading images to Fotolia via FTP? Today is my second time in a row I uploaded via FTP and pictures were in a folder on server, but when I checked on the web page there were none. Yesterday I said maybe they have a lot of work and so processing time is longer, but there were no pictures today also. But when I uploaded via flash everything was ok and normal...

Did any one have same experience?

So after resubmitting i got 10/11 accepted, yesterday result was 0/11.  So i guess some reviewers just don't care about their job.

Thanks for that explanation!

So if I get you right... all pictures that were rejected you reupload after few weeks with no major changes or what? Or do you take picture of the same thing again?

And do you say something to reviewer or just don't say anything? Because as far as I know you can get a warning for reuploading your images without any word to the reviewer why you reuploaded them.

I've also experienced that today, when all of my 11 pictures were rejected for:"Poor Lighting--Poor or uneven lighting, or shadows. White balance may be incorrect."
First of all I took photos in my studio, so there can't be poor lightning (i'd say they are over exposed if anything but not poor lightning), ok there is one with shadows but only one, and the last thing, i don't know how the white balance could be incorrect if i adjust my WB every time i go taking photos, and what is more I also correct every single picture in PS for those mistakes.

I'm already reuploading.

Well I didn't yet call them but i sent a message through their support site. Do you think calling them would be better?

Can anyone else suggest me something that I can do in my case? I hate that pending approval which shows now for 3 months...

Yeah sometimes i have the feeling that they are not serious... ok they have a lot of work,  i get it... but if that's the case hire new people... i'm sure no serious business or company would wait more than a month to answer the question...

Hey everybody...

I'm not sure what's going on with my istock account but here's how it is:

I registered my account in December 2006. At that time I got answer really fast to upload some pictures and government ID, which I did and also got that ID rejected.

Since I didn't have any other ID to resend I just left my account waiting till January this year.

I decided to try again with new ID, which i sent them in the mid January and since then nothing happened. I was waiting for more than a month when i tried to contact their support to ask them what is wrong, but I didn't get any answer. It just says "Pending Approval" when I click on upload button... and I think that it's saying a bit too long now... if i had just received some mail where they would tell me what's happening (if my pic are not good enough or so)...

That's why I'm asking you what to do? Shall I wait forever or just forget that istock exists? If not, what can I do about it?

thanks for answers in advance.
