Hi David! :)

I'm fine, thanks! I took a break from the stock world because of a complete lack of motivation around christmas time - in other words: I was simply lazy. :)
Stai bene anche tu?

Mine are in now, too. Finally. On a saturday afternoon. Hooray. That's like digging a deep, deep hole, putting your working hours in and ... well, it is like it is.
Next time I'll try a tuesday or wednesdy instead, I guess.


Ciao Anja! Con me tutto bene! Vedo che continui a studiare l'italiano!
Why a lack of motivations? You're one of the pillars of this market eh eh :-D You know that, right?
Despite all warnings and discussions since november/december my earning (and suppose yours too) was growing monthly doing always a BME. Now in january it stopped the grows ...beacuse of the Christmas slow down but I can't complain! February started very good so the trend should be restarted :-D I still like a lot this market! It gives to me so many satisfaction.
Actually review times are 6 days. So really long ... I hope they solve soon this problem!

microstock group boards would be a good place to start.

As far as review times ... current batch is pending 5 days and counting. I'm afraid it's now the norm.

I have 3 weeks in a row of weekend approvals. The first time I removed the batches on Friday, uploaded again on Sunday. It was reviewed on Saturday next week. And it's still going the same way. Looks like they decided to work only on weekends :(

Same here! I also deleted one batch which I had uploaded on a Sunday evening and which wasn't yet in til Friday, then re-uploaded it and it was approved the following Saturday (see my first post).
Then I decided not to upload on weekends anymore, but in the middle of the week instead. So, my upload from last Wednesday was just approved - another one to be buried all at once. :(
On a brighter note, their survey just arrived in time. My comments were a *little* longer, I'd say. ;)

@David:
Ma certo, sì! Ora abbiamo un piccolo "riposo" di due settimane, ma il prossimo corso continuerà fra poco. Non sono proprio pigra! :)
Regarding my lack of motivation, I think I've just been tired of doing the same stuff all day long ... I just needed a little spare time and then concentrated on other things I just *wanted* to do (getting used to some new software, moving my data to the new Mac, starting a new font and so on). Just a little relief. :)
Earnings-wise, last christmas was absolutely great for me, too. November was my bme so far, December close by, and then the "usual" start of the year break as well. It's getting better now, tho. I also still love this business, that's clear. :)

As far as the review times are concerned, 6 days would be fine with me - if you could at least rely on it! *moan*

One more week like this. First upload was on Sunday and whole week of daily works reuploaded now, on Friday. This is wrong.
Did anybody got reviewed once a week, but in the middle of it?

I've had vectors in the queue since last Tuesday, uploaded some more this morning and now, a couple of hours later, both the new and the old have all been approved.

Weird.

I upload daily, except weekends. And I had 3 reviews in February. Only 3! It's insane!

And it really affects the working process. I have tons of images and ideas which I don't want to put in one batch.
