Yes, they definitely need to hire more reviewers immediately. I have a several hundred that were uploaded last April, and are still under review. That being said, of the 53 photos that have been approved, I can report selling three or four a day since they launched a few weeks ago.

I'm curious about the Abort button. I used it on a file that I knew would not pass review. Nothing happened. The word "processing" appears, but the photo is still in my portfolio. I would have expected it to vanish immediately like most other sites.

As a contributor, I find that some of my uploads have been rejected. Is there a way to find out the reason they were rejected? I don't want to waste your time, or mine, by making the same mistakes over and over.
Thanks for any help.

I find that I have to consciously tell myself to "Stop and smell the roses", instead of "Stop and smell the money".

Facing some challenges uploading to Canva. I am getting my portfolio up, but the side buttons (such as Edit) does not respond. I therefore am not able to edit text/ keywords, or attach model releases etc.
Is there something that I'm doing incorrectly here?
I'm not able to edit mine until after they are approved. Seems like they enter their own info or just leave the fields blank. After approval you can change everything.

One clue might be to Google your name followed by a keyword that's not used in any titles or description.
If I Google my name followed by a keyword I use a lot (like ingredient, or nobody) I get a bunch of returns in Google Images.

Yikes! I don't want iStock to go away. I want it to get better.

Why are we even giving this bunch the benefit of the doubt?
Because they are offering 78% return on each sale. If this site actually starts selling stuff, all this vitriol will quickly be forgotten and photographers will flock in droves to be a part of it. It's what we've been asking for all these years. A fair return on our work.

see previous post fro stocktal -- they've eliminated categories altogether....
I went through Jack-Stocktal's replies and can't find anything about Category elimination. Some mention of emails from people stating such, but I never got one. Categories are still on the site as of today.

Please make the category easier to find and select when editing and keywording an image.
Can't wait to know if this new microstock site will succeed. I hope so.
Is anybody had a sale yet ?
There's a trick to it. You can select any category (even if it's wrong) Once selected, place your cursor over it and type a letter. For instance, F if you are looking for Food. Keep hitting F over and over, and it will cycle through every word starting with F, listed in the category. I'll admit that there are way too many categories on this site, but this cycles through the words pretty fast.

I'm confused. I've had four sales today and the royalty is different for all four.
$1.11
$1.35
$1.29
$1.37 Why are the royalties different if they are all one credit? (non-exclusive)

I am not sure where 2-3mb comes from, but the uploader says 16mb. However when I upload a 15mb file it goes nowhere. I have uploaded 8mb files with no problem. It is all a bit confusing, that I agree with.
From the first page of this thread From their website: "A good size is 2000 x 3000px approximately. 1 to 3 megabytes is perfect. We allow up to 10 mb but actively discourage members constantly uploading 8, 9 or 10 mb images. Its not the business niche we are targeting. If you intend to partner with stocktal, set your camera size to output images around 2000 to 3000 no bigger than 4 or 5 mb. Existing images can easily be transformed."

If they are listening to us, then they will get rid of wanting us to downsize our files to 2 to 3 megabytes. They had better get this right, because once we upload to their small specs, and they decide to start accepting larger files, then the small files we uploaded will be at a disadvantage. That would be a big pain for all involved. It could mean a mass deletion of existing files and re-uploading the same files again at the proper resolution. More work for us, and more work for their reviewers.
The whole small size request is puzzling. Seems shortsighted.

I made a sale this morning, which falls under the new guidelines. (non-exclusive) How do I find out how much I got for that sale? If I look at the financial section, it shows what that file has earned over it's lifetime, but I can't figure out how much it earned today. For instance, what if it sold with an extended license?

No speed improvement in the uploading process. Going back to using DeepMeta.

Please add "Isolated" to your Category list. Lots of buyers use this filter.

No need to scroll down. A simple tip (which I think I got right here on MSG) is just press the first letter of the country you want a certain number of times. So for USA just press U six times, for Greece press G four times etc (I'm doing the number of times you press from memory so may be slightly out -but you get the idea!). This simple method works across any site (not just microstock) where you have to choose a country from an alphabetical list. You'll soon remember how many times to press for each country and be there virtually instantly. Thanks to whoever passed on that time saving tip! Regards, David.
Thanks for the tip!

Why is Goofy greyed out? Is he not allowed to make any more posts?

I submitted 6 files just to test it out. My biggest gripe, when editing, is the mandatory country requirement. Since I live in the USA, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom of a very long list, for that choice. Either change that field to a "fill in", or I'm just going to start clicking on a country that starts with "A".
Really, who cares? Just get rid of that requirement.

It must be just me cause no one else caught it!
Do you feel there are positives than Negatives in this business
What exactly does this say?
Either one word is misspelled or there is one word missing?
