Topic: how long does it take to approve cover images?

I uploaded a bunch of cover images last night so that all of my blue boxes would instead be book covers. This morning some are replaced by my uploads and some are not...in no particular order. My question is, are the missing images not approved or still waiting to be approved? Every once in a while I come across someone whose tagline says they replace blue boxes. How do you get to help with that? I wouldn't mind doing that :)

Carrie, If one of your images is rejected, you should receive a PM from the approver letting you know it was rejected and why. If you'd like to be come part of the Image team, send in Feedback to the team using the contact us link at the bottom of the page and let them know. |

It really does vary depending on the number of images in que and the number of approvers working; the amount of other database maintenance going on; whether the image is showing as a new image or a replacement image; just a lot of factors at play. Usually images that are new and replacing just a blue cover will show pretty quickly, within a day or two. Some images can take as long as 2 weeks to show up. If you haven't heard anything from an approver, assume that the image is still in que or has been approved and is just making its way through the system. If it hasn't shown in 2 weeks, resubmit it. Sometimes the system belches at the wrong time and images are lost for unknown reasons. |

I just popped into the Image Approval queue and saw some of the images that you uploaded, Carrie, and I think I see the problem. The issue is that you didn't "cropped" to the image - there appears to be some white space/scanner space left around the edges of several of your uploaded images and those will have to be fixed by an image approver or by you before they can be accepted. You'll either received a PM from an approver letting you know that they're not being accepted until they are fixed or the image approver will fix them and will have to re-submit them, after denying them. Briefly, per PBS Image Guidelines:
Hope this helps - I'll see if I can't take care of a few of them right now.
