SnapVillage & IPTC

Have searched around the forum and the FAQ at SV but haven't found an answer to my question, thus I now turn to you guys and gals:

What does SV do with the metadata submitted? You can tick a box for images containing IPTC but on the next page in the upload process all the files appear to have no keywords or descriptions. Does the site still read the IPTC? I know it says you don't have to add your own keywords and such, but still... I've submitted a few where I've added the keywords even after ticking the forementioned box and some without.

What is your experience with this rather weird system?

I just upload. They read my data as well as any of the other sites. 99% of the time all the keywords are there.

Brilliant. Thanks! Can't say they provide too much information on that site...

I can't get Snap to read my keywords I embedded with Irfanview. I've been using Photoshop and Bridge to keyword lately, so all I've been uploading thus far is newer stuff.
