I'm currently stuck in an email verification loop. It sends me the email and then I click the link in the email and it automatically opens the app and takes me directly to the screen saying I need to verify my email with the send email button option. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and I've logged out and back in and it's the same thing. I can get logged in to the website on a computer just fine. super frustrating.

It is extremely difficult to get anything posted to this website. Not only is it excruciatingly difficult to get something approved, if it isn't approved your draft is deleted and you have to start over. It would be nice if the submission was not approved, I could edit it and re-submit it instead of creating a whole new submission. But also when I'm told my image is too sharp, I get really confused because I don't sharpen my images... There's plenty of examples but I'm out of room to write...

Waste of time. I'm a photographer, thought this would help me make some extra pocket change here and there; I was wrong. I've entered pictures with HD quality and been denied for 'low quality' EVERY time. Not to mention when they send the picture back to tell me what's wrong with it, it's in significantly worse quality. Which means the problem is on YOUR end.
