I’m the king of A.D.D. secondary income. My main job provides for my life. Most of my secondary income is based on what I’m doing in the here and now. Including the marketplaces I tend to always have something going on related to ART or freelance opportunities.

I honestly like to Barter my skills for things I’m interested in.

I want to make sure that the correct license level is purchased for a project that I’m currently working on for my company.

I’ve created an in banner survey template which will use assets from here. The survey template will be dynamic in such that the questions within the survey will be different from usage-to-usage and controlled via code.

The actual survey banner itself is a fixed design and will be delivered on a bunch of websites based on the needs of the survey.

If I read the license right the standard license should be ok to use since I’m only creating a single item for my company even thought its dynamic.

Is this correct?

Thanks for all the responses. I actually want to remove it for now not because of sales but because I have something I need to/want to do with the file.

I have a few projects I’m working on for GraphicRiver which are much better.

Hoping someone can help me out. I have an item in my portfolio that I’d like to remove from the site and no longer offer for sale as it has never been purchased. I figure I can get more traction using the file in other ways.

How do I remove items?

Capcha’s a necessary evil. Like in your example I found this one to be a better way Draw Captcha

I honestly think that the comments on items should have a resolution system in place that allows an author and the original commenter to mark that something has been resolved so ratings and comments can be removed or improved.

Its great that you shared your roadmap. First let me wish you good luck. The company I work with has gone through many of the same growth issues and separating code bases is a year long venture which leaves little time for any interface improvements. So I fully understand. Thank you again for being a great company and continuing to grow the community.

The best way to educate ourselves is to look at the copyright laws themselves. Copyright is protected by treaties between countries so the country in which the copyright is filed or created determines usage.

In the USA you can get information at copyright.gov.

I’d suggest to authors to look at these pointers on fair use: http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-fairuse.html

From the page…

Uploading or downloading works protected by copyright without the authority of the copyright owner is an infringement of the copyright owner’s exclusive rights of reproduction and/or distribution. Anyone found to have infringed a copyrighted work may be liable for statutory damages up to $30,000 for each work infringed and, if willful infringement is proven by the copyright owner, that amount may be increased up to $150,000 for each work infringed. In addition, an infringer of a work may also be liable for the attorney’s fees incurred by the copyright owner to enforce his or her rights.

Whether or not a particular work is being made available under the authority of the copyright owner is a question of fact. But since any original work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium (including a computer file) is protected by federal copyright law upon creation, in the absence of clear information to the contrary, most works may be assumed to be protected by federal copyright law.

Sounds like a price increase for those items needs to happen.

Let’s be totally honest no mater what system is used it doesn’t get to the heart of what is posted all over the forums. How long before my item is reviewed.

When we had numbers people complained that the number wasn’t changing fast enough for them. Now that we have the bar those same people complain that without the numbers they can’t get an idea of where they are in the queue line, so they can go back and complain about why it’s taking so long.

Unfortunately there’s really no easy answer to this problem so I have to commend the Envato staff for trying to find a solution.

Honestly a reviewer can only review X amount of items in a given time, provided that the authors have prepared their files correctly. Larger items take longer. The queue is a variable time-to-market item that would be next to impossible to determine how long something takes.

Another issue with the queue is reviewer availability. If a reviewer has skills in a given area and they come on it makes more sense for them to tackle those files before others that they may not be as skilled in. So the queue is not a first-in-first-to-market mechanism.

So again the numbers are not 100% correct.

I’d be more inclined to vote for a stepped approach that shows me how long my items has been in the review process and shows me the current step in the process that the file is in.

for example:

- Submitted - Under Review - Held (for additional XYZ ) - Rejected - Accepted

I think that where I’m in line doesn’t really matter and a progress bar or a queue with numbers doesn’t really communicate the approval process well either way.

I’d love to have a number of days range from submit to market/rejection.
