Did anyone have any sales on YAYMicro since their "technical problem" on their server (causing the blocking of all uploads)?
If not, I am concerned that it might not be a "technical problem". What cause me to worry is not only the lack of sales, but also the fact that I could upload a new property release, but the image uploading is still blocked. So unless the releases are kept on another server, what is the problem?  ???

What concerns me is the fact that I am credited with a file being sold but no corresponding earnings from that API sale (PixMac) . . . . . . . .  I guess I will wait a little longer to see if it is credited.

My last sale was in mid July. I usually have at least a couple a month, so it is an unusually long dry spell. When did the problems start?

About 2 weeks now. Just wondering if it is really technical, or a sinking boat?

Strange, i'm sure that wrote something on this topic...  ???

No sales before technical problem, still the same after...

It appears that problem @ Yay is other than "server issues".

I don't know, two weeks for a server problem? Not too good for a microstock agency. :-\

Get a Titanic feeling about this one. Hope there are not to many people close to payout here, they might not get the opportunity....... :(

I hope not!! They have been really good with contributor support in the past ad my sales have really picked up the last couple of months. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them.

No need to worry - we don't! :)

Our servers are not down - we have suspended uploads since we need to do some maintenance and improvement. This is due to our ever-increasing image base (now 1.530.000 images directly uploaded to YAY!) - and a high increase in traffic (
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/yaymicro.com# click on "Max" to see the development).

Upload should be back as normal within 1-2 days according to our CTO Bjorn.

There is nothing wrong with the site, so the sales are not affected by this temporary stop in uploads. We are working on a better reporting system for API-sales, and you will find information and statistics by the end of this fall.

Thanks,

Linda :)

I had a API sale a few days ago but I don't know what that is and when do I see how much I earned with that sale?

If you give me your username here - or e-mail it at [email protected] - I can take a look for you.

Thank you for the update Linda. Might be just good contributor/supplier relations to keep us a bit in the loop when you do these types of things. Had to endlessly check to see if we can upload again, while a simple email with your short explanation here and "we will let you know when you can upload again" would have been nice.....

I've always found someone's there on live chat whenever I want to find out anything.

We sent an e-mail to all photographers before we stopped the upload - and we will of course send a new e-mail to all contributors when it's ready for new uploads. It shouldn't be long now :)

Thank you Linda. Seems like a few of us here have not received that one. Looking forward to the green light to your "improved" site. ;)

The big question now is: The server will handle the obvious massive upload after so many time of downtime?

FTP is accepting login again. Hope they are actually ready for the uploads and are not only testing. Have not received any email notification about the servers being online again, so situation inconclusive........ ;)

Get a lot of FTP errors - did upload 5 images but continued disconnections thereafter - maybe not quite ready yet?
Website uploads seems to be OK.

Hi!

We're soon ready for submissions again - the FTP and web-upload are both up. But, we are still testing. We'll send you notification by e-mail + post it here in MSG when ready. I think it will be within 12-18 hours.

Linda :)
