Default What's up with Bigstock??

I don't know if it's just me or has anyone else noticed a significant slowdown on approvals in the last 2 weeks or so....
Guess this could be a complaint because i used to upload and always had my images inspected within 2 days at the most, now i have images in there for almost 10 days!! Is anyone experiencing this? Or was i just being spoiled?

It's happening to me too... For what I see, it's an up and down thing in all sites... StockXpert and FeaturePics being the exception... They're alway very fast.

Cheers,

Antonio

Yes, I have had 14 images on the queue for days! Seems like forever. But I'm so busy I am not noticing, thanks for drawing my attention to it! J/K.

Both sales and approvals have slowed to a snail's pace. I submitted a batch in early May, and it took so long for their approval that I'd actually forgotten about them. :? Sales dropped by nearly half from the two previous months as well, despite new uploads.

BSP just redid there entire reviewing system. It has put them behind a little but they will catch up. It does fluctuate at all the sites for various reasons. There may be an influx of uploads or they may have reviewers go on vacation or even quit. It happens at all the sites from time to time but they all catch back up so dont sweat it if your photos take longer to get reviewed, eventually they will be.
