I would be interested to know how quickly you want to solve this problem so shortly before the Wayfarer Challenge? And above all, it feels really great when you will now take part in the challenge to help others with the game interface, on your own doorstep, but nothing has happened for weeks & months.
I've had proposals in the vote for more than 6 weeks now (and 1-2 of them by Niantic that are not objections).
And according to the new algorithm that Niantic has put together, there are now upgrades in the queue, which is totally annoying, everything just stalls and doesn't get ahead. It was ok for a new nomination to take a few days to get into the system....if a suggestion took 3-5 days....but longer than 1 week with no foreseeable time....incomprehensible. You just keep creating more construction sites and more problems.
So what's the point of further evaluating if even more upgrades don't work & speed up the process? Or why does Niantic look for suggestions and not evaluate them, because you can no longer use them for an upgrade!
I've upgraded two today to test, normal upgraded queue is typically a week or two from both areas. One immediately went into voting despite the increase of reviewed stuff from that city, the other is still in queue but I've also reviewed stuff in its immediate vicinity.
A week late, but this has finally entered voting in the last few hours. I will wait to see whether it is resolved in the kind of time I expect for an upgrade, or if it was just 'its time'.
Not fixed. I have two upgraded submissions sitting in queue, one for 5 days and the other from yesterday. Usually they go straight into voting with the upgrade and then complete the same day.
Neither of my two upgrades have resolved yet. I have earned another upgrade but don’t feel comfortable using it yet. Hoping this gets fixed soon. Losing my enthusiasm for reviewing.
Yeah my upgraded nominations typically get decided on within 24 hours. I've had one that I upgraded a week ago, went into voting on Saturday, and is still in voting now. There has also been no progress on any of my other nominations since Saturday, going from Queue to Voting, or going from Voting to Decided, even ones with no other wayspots or nominations around that usually slow down the process. Somethings definitely going on.
I have nothing new to update on my upgrades in voting as well they are all still stuck in voting for 4-7 days now. I did however have a non upgraded one I nominated last June get accepted lmao. Only around 40 more over 9 months old + to go and I live in a medium size city around 400,000 I think.
2nd was accepted just now (12nn GMT+8), faster than normal. First that went into voting still unresolved but within normal vote time. Did a third and immediately went into voting.
Edit: All 3 upgraded are now resolved (5:30pm GMT+8), way faster than normal.
Nominated a few on 13th may upgraded the same day 18th may most of them went into voting and today 3 of them got accepted so it seems like its kinda fixed now bit slower then normal but still within a week
I have one upgraded in voting for 5 days now. Also none of my other nominations go from in queue to voting for several days. It's definitely not just you.
I think people are missing the point that it’s not just a delay going from queue into voting. It’s the upgraded nominations that are in voting for multiple ((8)) days
All my upgraded in voting nominations are still in voting dating back to last Saturday in voting. I feel like I have hit the point of time where I might as well renominate them and upgrade them again because they will be like my bar-b-q place that spent over a month upgraded in voting recently.
yeah i also noticed an upgraded nomination not being decided in a couple hours like normal but instead it has been "in voting" for past couple days. it has never taken this long. and it shouldn't after all the work to earn an upgrade.

Wish I had good news to share but all mine are still in voting.

Looks like they did something as most of our nominations went into voting.
When I asked last night, so about 7 hours go, they were still investigating.

Next time, don't unblock queues on Thursdays, because there are usually rejection waves with made-up reasons on this day. 😅

Can confirm. Mine and husband's were both upgraded while already in voting and no resolutions yet. Sigh.
Neither of my two upgrades have resolved yet. I have earned another upgrade but don’t feel comfortable using it yet. Hoping this gets fixed soon. Losing my enthusiasm for reviewing.
I upgraded 2 on Fri/Sat that had been in voting a while, no decision yet.
This one has now been decided- winner!

Submitted and upgraded this to see what happens even though it is here :/
Well, my last upgrade isn't resolved yet but seems that maybe now new upgrades works fine so I will risk and use my recent upgrade today.
Nominated a few on 13th may upgraded the same day 18th may most of them went into voting and today 3 of them got accepted so it seems like its kinda fixed now bit slower then normal but still within a week
Thanks for updates
Any updates on this issue?
I have one upgraded in voting for 5 days now. Also none of my other nominations go from in queue to voting for several days. It's definitely not just you.
It’s normal after a nomination to be made for it to spend anything from a couple of days to about 10 days waiting in queue.
I think people are missing the point that it’s not just a delay going from queue into voting. It’s the upgraded nominations that are in voting for multiple ((8)) days
I still have stuff in queue dating back to 9-11-22 haha.
All my upgraded in voting nominations are still in voting dating back to last Saturday in voting. I feel like I have hit the point of time where I might as well renominate them and upgrade them again because they will be like my bar-b-q place that spent over a month upgraded in voting recently.
