I'm certainly going to spend some time getting images up there to see how it goes.<br />Good luck with your own sales there as well!<br />kind regards,<br />David.<br />David Fowlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639664156638232376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898162308367681799.post-49482941140815598612013-11-05T13:12:43.191+00:002013-11-05T13:12:43.191+00:00Thanks for writing this blog post David, cheers fo...Thanks for writing this blog post David, cheers for Benji on replying as well! :DLuis Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309969727144113453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898162308367681799.post-63268561222473358142013-11-05T11:36:28.550+00:002013-11-05T11:36:28.550+00:00Just to update - I tried uploading via Chrome toda...Just to update - I tried uploading via Chrome today and, as Benji said, that eliminated the frozen "thank you" message issue. My tip about using the back button to the upload page still works -making it easy if you have several images with the same info. Just select the next image and hit upload again!

Thanks for writing this, and thanks ...Hello David,<br /><br />Thanks for writing this, and thanks for your pics - they're great! Was about to email you but thought it might be more useful for others if I address what you've written here for everyone to see.<br /><br />First up, a little context - I launched Picfair as a proof of concept three months ago, having written all the code myself after learning to code in the last year. It has taken off very quickly - but this means that there are a few sub-optimal bits which you've hit on very astutely! <br /><br />Batch upload is the main one - it's coming soon, promise! I realise it's rather arduous to upload one by one, and appreciate your patience. That said, tens of thousands of images have been uploaded already, so thankfully it isn't putting people off too much. But, yes, it's coming.<br /><br />The frozen "thank you" message is an IE9 issue I'm afraid - the site is built for modern browsers like Chrome. But I'll aim to get that fixed ASAP.<br /><br />One slight correction - Picfair images aren't exclusively for editorial. Although the license is essentially Rights Managed rather than Royalty Free (as you touched on), images can be used for a variety of promotional uses, i.e. accompanying products or services, brochures, personal use and email marketing/newsletters. The only commercial uses that they are not allowed for are merchandising, retail product packaging, branding or corporate logos, trademarks or service marks, and external paid-for advertising (i.e. billboards, pop-uip ads, banner ads). This isn't to say these uses won't be catered for in the future - it's just the the current license is kept deliberately simple and singular, so that anyone can understand it. Getty currently has 320,000 ways to license an image - Picfair has one.<br /><br />Finally, if anyone reading this wants to get in touch, please do - benji@picfair.com. Picfair is young and growing very quickly - the more input/feedback I get from users the better!<br /><br />Thanks again David, and I look forward to seeing more of your pics!<br /><br />Benji Lanyado,<br />Founder, Picfair <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16996250785550833755noreply@blogger.com
