Exclusive to Alamy - Setting Not Applying

[Steve Valentia]

I'm having trouble getting the "exclusive to Alamy" setting to apply to new submissions. I've got it checked under the "gear" settings in AIM, but it doesn't seem to be automatically applying itself to new submissions.

Did you click "Save" after you checked the box? It works for me so it might be time to email Alamy themselves.

You have waited for the update after setting it, right?

I set it over a week ago and had a new submission pass this evening. It wasn't applied to it.

Thanks Colin, I'll double check and then see if works for the batch, but to be honest, the exclusive setting is applied when I open the settings. But it's just not happening in the images (in optional).

Silly question but I am assuming the 'Exclusive' tick-box is still the only method of indicating that your images are exclusive to Alamy? If so, what is to stop someone with a rather unscrupulous approach from turning it on and off as the situation demands? I was under the impression that once you had decided an image was exclusive it would remain so for a stipulated period of time. How does it work exactly? Does anyone know?
