Title: Outage Saturday July 25th
Post by: Brian O'Shea on July 24, 2009, 15:42
Hi All -

We'll be taking Marketplace (as well as the rest of Veer.com - including Veer Ideas) down for maintenance tomorrow beginning at 8AM MST. We'll likely be down for ~6-7 hours.

We'll post updates here when we're rolling again. Stay tuned!

Thanks for your patience.

- Brian

It looks like we are up and running! I have some problems with some of my image previews. Anyone else getting wonky colors in some of their vectors?

I have zero approved images... ???

Where is my 190 approved photos!?

Is it maintenance or what!?

That's weird. Were they imports from SV, or new uploads to Veer?

Mine are still showing up on my workspace page, but none came from SV.

Yay! VMP is live! I ran a couple of search and found my images for sale :)

Yeah it's live but "it doesn't direct users to our portfolios when clicked to our names or images!"

I don't think this is the final version.. It shouldn't be!

And where is our real time statistics? Where can we see how much we earned? And of course, all the other stats we are supposed to have.

Yes I can find my images but I don't think this is the full release! That's why Brian didn't make an official announcement. He was even announcing when there is an outage as you can see on this thread.

One last thing, all my vectors seem to be priced at 20 credits and no other purchasing options are given. Actually this is cool by me! If it stays this way I will be happier. I prefer to only sell the EPS and for 20 credits. But I don't think this is final yet.

Ah, almost forgot about the watermark! It is one of the best in microstock. Makes the thief work hard! Cool...

My images are gone as well.  I had submitted the required 10, all approved, and was waiting for launch to upload more.  Now: 0 submitted, 0 pending, 0 approved; like I was never there. ???

Yeah, I don't think it's the final version either but I'm excited that my pictures are live :)

Like you said, some things are missing: links to our portfolio, statistiques and sales reports.

I'm pretty sure we'll have some news from Bryan tomorrow.

Is there no way of preventing my real name showing up on the image pages? I only sell microstock images on sites that allow me to be anonymous (to keep my microstock stuff separate from my other photography). This is a really big deal for me, I may need to close my VeerMP account if I can't hide my name :(

From the other thread:
Just realized that everyone clicking on a Veer marketplace pic gets to see the photographers real name. Is there a way to stop this?

For me it would be a show stopper if it is not possible to hide my microstock endeavours from current or potential direct clients.

Are you with Bigstockphoto as well? I believe anyone can see your real name also when you click on the photographer Bio!

That is exactly the reason why I don't sell via BigStock.

Hi All -

Yup - we're still working on a few things. I'll have a complete rundown of what's new a bit later today.

But this is an important change: You now have more ways to control how your name/company/brand are displayed: 

 *** there is a new "alias" field on your Member page under Contact Information. This will replace your full name across the site - including on Image detail pages. Input your name and click "save changes". The change will take effect almost immediately.

 *** You can also elect to input a Company name - this will display on product detail pages, and will display underneath yoru full name on your Member page.


- Brian
