Michael Ventura Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 This forum is now almost unusable for me. It jumps all over the place in time. Its the whether or not I am using my desk top or iPad. I hope it can get corrected soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Signing in from the "forums" summary page seems to work. But the "unread content" system is bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then enter the name of the photographer in the advanced search 'Contributor name' box. If this yields results then click on an image and click on the name of the photographer to see all his/her images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The problem I had was with the last edit disappearing after re-opening a thread for a further addition. I have moved to making fewer edits, hoping that Chrome doesn't crash before saving. Don't know if that has made a difference, or a genuine fix has been applied, but, fingers crossed, this bug appears to have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found that selecting "Unread Content" from the drop down menu at top left is more reliable than using the direct link at top right.

Sally Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 The forum is becoming increasingly unusable. It’s not worth spending time here unless things get sorted. Updated posts just not showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colblimp Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Forum is becoming extremely frustrating to use - it has a mind of its own! Alamy, please acknowledge there's something majorly wrong and sort it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 I keep seeing threads I want to read but after I have read one the others disappear to be replaced with threads that are old and I have already read - and which are missing the last few posts I know are on them because I have read them. It is annoying to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Baker Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 My post of less of an hour ago is still invisible on Ask The Forum. Shame as I really need the question about searching for ISBN/ISSN numbers answered. Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Chapman Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Forum not working My Alamy stats not updated since 7th Feb Web-upload not working Oh dear, Alamy must be having some problems... Luckily ftp upload seems fine and sales still seem to be appearing. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not properly showing read/unread. When I saw the notification that you had quoted me, I clicked on it, it took me to this thread, but my post wasn't there, neither were the two after it. After refreshing twice, they showed up. It seems it behaves for awhile, then starts screwing up again. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
