Problem solved since posting this new thread, as the 'Follow Me on Google+' button has now been removed from my Profile page, for me.
Thank you, to whomever did that for me!

I sent Enquiry Number: 49380744 on 23rd August 2017 at 11:15, asking The Dreamstime Team for help to edit the 'Follow Me on Google+' button from my old, now defunct personal Google+ page, to my active Business Google+ page. I have learned how to add, as also queried in the above-mentioned enquiry, the 'Follow Me on Twitter' button from these Message Boards.
I sent The Dreamstime Team a new enquiry (Enquiry Number: 49472066) on 29th August 2017 at 08:00, to ask if I would be hearing back from them any time soon, as both enquiries had generated the reply, "Your email has been received and you should expect a response from us within the next 36 hours."
As I haven't had a reply to either enquiry, maybe you could help me to either edit the 'Follow Me on Google+' button to point to my business Google+ page or to remove it the Google+ button from my Profile page altogether, as I tend to only use Twitter, these days. I have looked at the 'Modify user profile' page, but there is no link button or dialogue box available for me to edit the Google+ link.
Many thanks,
Paul J. Hopkins

I uploaded one picture on the 18th May and DT estimated 155 hours. I checked in the next day (19th) to find it had changed to 150 hours and then the next (20th) and it said 151 hours. Today, is the 24th May and I'm at 148 hours which is 144 hours after my initial upload.
I'm fairly new to Stock Photography and all my pictures have been uploaded as Exclusive to Dreamstime, but with a backlog of pictures in my Unfinished folder I'm beginning to think I should upload to a different agency also, thereby becoming Non-Exclusive if the approval times will be this long. Can anyone recommend a good alternative?

And some utterly brilliant photos you have uploaded!

I uploaded one picture 3 days ago and DT estimated 155 hours; I checked in yesterday to find it had changed to 150 hours and today, it stands at 151 hours.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my arrival notice!
Tomorrow will mark being a member of Dreamstime for just two weeks, but in that time I have submitted 136 photographs and had a total of 37 accepted, which I'm told is pretty good going … now I'm looking forward to some sales!

Thanks for this, Erin. I shall look through some current bills and send today.

I am trying to decipher the complicated legal language of the US Tax Form W-8BEN and having worked out most of what I need to fill in as a UK resident, and have stated in the form that I DO NOT have any example of Photo ID - such as identity card, passport, driver's license, etc - as I have never needed one in the UK, I find I cannot submit the form unless I attach a Photo ID.
Has anyone had a similar experience and/or have any advice on what steps to take next?

because in keeping with this thread's original game rules,

this is a good instruction to stop all the running about and take some time out to just chill.
A good illustration!

Hi Everyone,
Just a short note to say I'm newly arrived at this site and had some of my first uploads accepted and learning the ins & outs of working with this website.
Am utterly stunned at the quality and variety of the photographs available on Dreamstime and hope to be selling some of mine, soon.
Cheers,
Paul

Maybe it reads, "No Dogs Allowed!"
Just a thought…
