I am uploading image by individual image on Istock rather than FTP.  0% of the time it comes up with busted image icon and having to try to kep o uploading.  Anyone else?    Never had this issue before ut no it is happening with every image.

I am due to be paid this month.  Made the cut off, money was withdrawn from balance at beginning of the month.  In one place they say payment on the 20th give or take and another place around the 25th.  Still no payment in Paypal.  I now it is automatic.  I did the tax info right.  So now what?

So SS accepted my credentials and now I have to upload my first batch of editorial images.

They told me to upload everything in one batch and then put a note to reviewer with number of my credentials for whole batch.  Will there be a drop down menu for this with a place to enter the number?  When I upload commercially, there is a drop down menu to go to reviewer but option is limited and allows one not to say anything.

I am not FTPing images but using web to upload at this point.

Does anyone have a link to a generic PDF file we can use for getting a club to sign off for editorial credentials for their events?

Anyone else notice that keywording for Bigstock hanged in the middle of today?  They cut out the description line and it looks a lot more like SS actually.

Has anyone gotten some weird delay in review process at Fotolia?  I am getting some images accepted/rejected later than a series of more recent images..weeks.  Very odd.

Has anyone else noticed a lot of recent inconsistency in the review process at Bigstock lately?

I recently had a whole batch of photographs that were all rejected, many that have been accepted at all other agencies, including the crazy Shutterstock.  In another batch, they accepted some that I did not even bother to upload to others due to noise but it was a popular topic.  I do like the way they will notify buyers to stick to smaller sizes rather than total rejection for noise.  Action and outdoor shots are not always possible to do without noise.  The ones where they have done that have all sold.

But lately, I feel like the weekend reviewer at SS has moved to Bigstock.  Rejection of images that are in focus, correctly lighted, correct white balance.  I know reviewing can be subjective and one can learn from rejections and all that... but sometimes, the reviewer just is not doing their job.  Has anyone ever resubmitted to Bigstock when they know he review was bogus?  Maybe it is not worth it---photos are on other sites and selling so maybe I should just move on. 

Does anyone have any ideas  how to word descriptions so my photos do not get flagged for releases when no release needed???

When I resubmit them with explanation this is not an arena, accepted but there is a limit of 3 per month and I have photos of their practice as well as other dogs at trials that are not in an arena but an open field of grass.   I already used a description of the photos saying something like outdoors in local park to clue the reviewer into the fact that it was not an arena but not working.  I am not sure they even read the description.  No humans.. only dogs or maybe at most a leg and no logos on shoes.  Not the dogs causing the rejects because I upload a release for my dog.  Even when I forget to add it sometimes, they go through.

Also, the one that really gets me is one that has the following elements: dog, husband's legs, dirt, weave poles, shoe with no logo.   He was wearing some jersey beaten up shorts and only a sliver is showing and the notice mentioned uniform.   I guess I could add something describing his shorts? 

Kind of frustrating because of the 3 image limit on Scout.  I have already written them more than once and the only thing they do is say use Scout.  While it is not my main area of photography, I have enough that I would use up a year's worth of 3 per month trying to explain to them.  Obviously, they do not know the sport.
