Sorry can't understand why i'm getting this rejection i've filled in at least a hundred of these thing and now i get rejected without a proper explanation

when i have fill the thing in correctly is there a new form for hand drawn artwork if there is i can't find it.

the 123rf uploader takes an age an hour i left it last time and no progress

also when you do finally get them uploaded no one is reviewing i've waited a couple of weeks now on some

are they still in busness?

does Fotolia Help - Contact us still exist  have been trying to contact them for several days because I can't log on on new computer even thou login and passwors are correct  and they just ignore all my contacts.

I recently had a photo accepted by SS,  I think it's a good one and have hopes for it. Today I did what I sometimes do and went on Shutterstock without logging in as me to check it's there however it does not appear on any search later photos on the same subject do but not my best photo.

if it does not appear in searches how will it ever sell

Should I delete and reload

Had a photo accepted and then realized i'd got the caption wrong and can't see where i can edit it can anyone help?

I've had a couple of photographs stuck in the thys file is publishing stage they were approved back in june.

I have contacted Istock 4 times and all I get is a standard answear saying this is a problem they are working on. Any ideas about what to do?

Hi
Is there an easy way to find out my earnings on individual images on Fotolia?

I go to quite a few events and obviously take a lot of pictures, the problem is Shutterstock don't seem to want to accept them without a press ticket, presumably acquired from the organizers?

Why would the organizers grant me a ticket, when there seems to be plenty of photographers willing to give their work away?

Do I really need a ticket if the event is on public property, roads, public parks etc ?

In October 2014 I lost my job as a designer in the shopfitting industry when the company I worked for went out of business, 20 months later it has become clear that at 58 I probably will not get another job. So time to take my stock photography a bit more seriously, as it is now my only income, I take a lot of travel pictures, editorial shots of events classic car shows, triathlons, regatta's, I also take backgrounds, some table top stuff, also photos of my own hand drawn illustrations and paintings.

I upload to six sites.

Shutterstock 
780 files  -  by a mile my best site, $760 made over 3 years, although much of that is recent, $123 last month.

Istock
615 files  -  $200 made over 3 years, this is the site I love to hate, I find the upload process very time consuming and their editors do not like my captions, seeming to want a small novel attached ! also their policy on buildings is a bit of a problem.

Fotolia
316 files  $56 made over 6 months, I have not been using this site very long and wish I had started with it earlier, only problem no editorial allowed so only half my portfolio.

Bigstock
750 files $62 over 21 months, can't figure this site out, it started to sell well for a few week, then just stops completely nothing for 10-12 days.

Dreamstime
816 files  $118 over 3 years, I really like this Website, but their sales are very poor ( maybe my content is wrong for this site) adding more files does not seem to improve my sales.

Depositphotos
620 files  $12.65 over 6 months really not much activity here.

I am thinking of not uploading any more photos to Dreamstime or Depositphotos and try two new sites, any suggestions ?
