I think that the photographers don't have this problem with long time approval.
This problem started with the beginning of the new year.
At the same time in IS approval time is very short 1-2 day.

Photogs are having the same issues as the illustrators. Long review times so it's across the board course I'm not sure if the footage contributors are experiencing the same.

SS may not be the fastest, but mine are running 5-6 days right now. At 85,000 new images a week, I'm happy about that.

Oops, just looked. Last batch was seven days.

I finally managed to get something in on a day *other* than Sat or Sun, but: all three batches don't show within my port.
I'm sure, they will.
Next Saturday or Sunday.
Then, they'll most likely be on page 20001 of the "newest" submissions.
This starts getting on my nerves, really. Bugs and bugs and bugs again ... since half a year.

Wow! I've thought it happens only for the second-league members like me :(
I don't know what to say to give you some pleasure..
ok.. you are the best and we all really love your works because they are beautiful and perfect :)
My images dive into the crowd but I'm sure yours don't. So you can be sure they'll be at the top. I'm sure :)

+1
The previous batch took almost a week, but at least some of the images started selling soon after review. My last batch just went through "unnoticed" by buyers :(
So things are actually getting worst.

@jagoda: Thanks for your kind words!
There aren't "first" or "second league" members in here, tho. Just fellow colleagues. :)
I don't know, whether superstars like Yuri or Andres get "special conditions", but I definitely don't. (What's fine with me, of course!) And this issue with images not appearing within our ports was/is obviously caused by a bug, anyways. So, ... it isn't strange by any means that I'm as much concerned as anyone else. :)

On a *much* brighter note, mine appeared this evening and are already selling!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you - hopefully, things are going to change to the better, finally!
After all, SS still works better than most of the other agencies - even with those bugs. At least for me. :)

One week doesn't seem like that long to wait. You submit to other places, right? They typically take that long.

It's not like this is a get rich quick scheme.

Do you address me? *not sure*
Yes, I do submit to other places. The "one-week-thing" isn't a problem for me, either, but the fact that review times aren't predictable anymore actually *is*. It does make a difference *when* new stuff gets accepted. I had illustrations being *completely* buried after a couple of days, just because they got in/visible on weekends.
Bad enough, but that's my experience.
And I know it isn't a get rich quick scheme, really. :)

Yeah, me too.

I actually wasn't singling anyone out. I meant it to everyone. I guess I should have used a you all or ya'll instead of you. I think I was only half awake when I wrote it this morning. ;)

so there's no optimal day to upload now, right? Or is it better to upload in the beginning of the week? *unsure*

I have the same problem. I don't know when to upload.

I used to upload on Sunday afternoon but now I don't know what to do.
