The only thing we did was move the site to bigger, better servers on Sunday night. So it took a few hours for the new IP address to propagate across all the domain name servers (DNS) across the Internet that resolve web addresses. Sometimes, it takes longer than normal to propagate across all DNSs. Bella, I'm glad it's back for you. The only thing we did was move the site to bigger, better servers on Sunday night.

It would be no use to lower the standards and then see those good photographers disappear to more professional pages... Nevertheless I would really, really appreciate, if you could add a few hints (as a personal message) why the picture was not accepted (if humanely possible, I do not know if you are able to manage this out of time/manpower limitations). Like "picture looks like cropped correctly, but was actually too small and not accepted by our software" or "nice picture, but the post is not food related or lacking a recipe" or "image is not bright enough" or "photo is too focused on a dull subject" or "picture is artistically interesting, but not acceptable for a food portal" etcetc... You know, some not so perfect photographers would like to learn and improve their skills too, and maybe have no idea what was actually wrong ;o) Even if I do not like seeing my photos not accepted, I absolutely admire your high standards, this keeps the page worth visiting!

What's your criteria for accepting submissions?

My submissions never appear on the site, why?
