Yes mine's different too - hadn't noticed or even looked before. I've just looked on my sales report and see that I've got some sales that are showing as cleared today, but the figure on my dashboard isn't showing these clearances yet - it's still the same as it was before the weekend - but the figure on the Account balance page does seem to be showing them.

On AIM go onto 'Attributes' and scroll down - I didn't realise there was an option to scroll either until it was mentioned on the forum a little while ago either :/ I'm working through mine now too!

Hi David Alamy changed this recently, but don't seem to have updated the info in the 'How to sell images on Alamy' instructions :/ This is the only mention of it I remember seeing

much appreciated Bryan!

Thanks for the spot Bryan

😳 A few things here I hadn’t given too much thought to - looks like I might need to check my key wording at the same time as I go through cross referencing ‘exclusive’ v ‘non-exclusive’ - some long evenings ahead . . .

Same as Sally - one from a while back was logged, and they said to wait for the others to come through in the usual way. They said they were going to raise it with the Sun, so hopefully they should all come through ok. Must just have been a complete oversight

It seems to be a cloud file storage facility offered by Amazon - maybe whoever has bought the file uses them??? Seems very odd that you can see them though if that's the case.

Many thanks Bryan

Sorry I'm a bit late (coincidentally have been up in Aberdeen!) but thanks Steven - good spot - it is Alamy

Thanks Bryan

I think a big problem is with your tagging Are you getting views? Where are you images appearing in search results? I think fewer, very precise keywords help with placement, but that's from experience rather than factual knowledge. I wouldn't try to optimise discoverability - there are quite a few threads on this in the forum. I would spend some time checking the placement of your images for various search terms - eg 'baby marmot' - and experiment with your tagging to try and get a better placement of what you think are your best images of a subject. Having similars makes it difficult to do this, but it's not impossible, with careful use of phrases and supertags etc For example: If I were a buyer looking for a picture of someone hand feeding a marmot I would probably search for "hand feeding baby marmot" or "hand feeding marmot". If I do that, your lovely picture P93H0X doesn't appear, because it isn't tagged with "hand feeding" etc, yet you have tags "adventure", and "micro four thirds", which I would say aren't needed. Also, remember the title carries quite a lot of weight in searches, so a title like 'Have some food?" P93H0G isn't going to help your search placement at all. There is lots of help and advice on previous forum threads - worth having a good read. You have some really nice images, if I were you I would look at each one, think how it might be used, and tag it really carefully. Good luck

I did wonder how you had managed to find 18!!! I'd forgotten about the arrow if there are multiple images in one post - congratulations! bit of a bonus! (but frustrating they seem to have been overlooked in the first place)
