How long does an upload generally take to get approved?
benpcahill:
I recently uploaded a few covers for the first time and I was curious how long it generally took to get approved onto the site. I hope I don't sound impatient, just curious what to expect.
I'm excited to have my name up as a contributor rather than always a requester haha.
Thanks!

Not trying to be rude or pushy, but does anyone have an idea?
The lack of response kind of mirrors my attempt at uploading. No feedback whatsoever. :/
To provide a useful idea rather than just sounding like I'm complaining, there could be a confirmation sent to the user whenever a milestone is reached or a way to check and inquire its progress. I would feel more aware if I knew the actual process you guys go through to check submitted covers, but my understanding is something like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UserJoe69 submitted Sonic_Blast_from_the_Past_17.jpg for the Nintendo Switch Plus
[Checkbox] [Checked] Admin 1 - Approved
[Checkbox] [Checked] Admin 2 - Approved
[Checkbox] [Not Checked] Admin 3 - Waiting for Approval
Thanks for contributing to TheCoverProject! Every bit helps. :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With feedback emailed or DM'ed once the cover is done being inspected.
Approved:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cover approved!

It's probably way more formal than you intend, but just an idea from an outside contributor's point of view. Some kind of status check would be awesome.

Last I knew, the upload feature was actually broken. Everyone has just been putting them in their respected forum posts

It will probably take a million years. Admins were unable to upload cover to the data base for more than half a year. Now that we can finally upload covers, we are inundated with submissions. If you have a cover that you'd really like to see on the website and it meets site standards, you can write me personally and I'll try and get it up. The bigger issue that most covers that are submitted don't meet site standards. It takes forever filtering through covers to find the ones that do meets our standards.

And they normally do not let you know if approved or denied.
