Alamy website

[awp 2]

Website was down all day yesterday 18th August and today I can't get my contributer dashboard up - all the links keep geing back the Alamy front page.

 

Assume it's not just me - any updates on when this will be sorted?

 

thanks.

Hi Awp,

 

There was a major power outage in London yesterday which affected all areas of our website. Out IT team has been working through the night to fix this. Whilst our website is now back up and running, there are still some areas of the site that are not back to full recovery. We will keep you all updated on the issue. 

 

Thanks,

Alamy

You have to clear caches of your browser.

It’s the same for everyone, you just have to be patient I’m afraid.

thanks - at least I know it's not just me!

Today I have no problems with the dashboard and subsequent links  - and I tried early - around 8 am - which will 7 on your lazy side one hour later.

Bingo! Thanks, Serge.

 

I deleted the history in Safari for the past two days and that allows me to open my Dashboard. Things are still not 100% though.

Thanks - clearing browser caches did it for me too.  I'd never had thought of that.

Zero communication from Alamy is poor, not a single email to explain. Must have lost £75K in sales!!

thanks

And I agree with Paul, alamy, even if small crue these days to send a global mail to let us know what is happening, would have been nice

... maybe next time will do better

Again: emptying your cache will probably solve this.

Alamy's mail may be tied to the same server as the website.  My guess is that they would have done a global to all contributors and buyers, if they could have.  Instead, they communicated trough Twitter and Facebook (and maybe other ways that I am not aware of).

I hope everything was backed up because I don't want to have to re-upload files that had already been approved recently.

Clearing my cache worked.  There was news about this on the website yesterday after Alamy had a partial restoration, though not the hint to clear caches.

That was one of the first things I tried when I noticed the problem.
Did not work.

My dashboard is up to date (20th August), but my 'your images' was last updated on the 17th August at 09:45.

 

I presume they have had more pressing things to attend to than updating views and zooms....

 Same here and for everyone, I guess.

I've just noticed I can't send attached files through Gmail and when I "asked Google",

I found that it's a major issue and there're discussions everywhere. ..

Could it be related to the recent events on the Internet causing problems to numerous websites?

Just wondering.

Yes, the update will be the same for everyone.

it’s there, you just need to clear your history and cache and then re-login.

I finally got my dashboard back. I will try to upload some images today. Hopefully they have that part of the system fixed as well.

[Steven Love 0]

Managed to upload 20 images. Now the question is how long the review will take. Normally it took about 2 to 5 days. Hopefully it won't be much longer than that.

You have been told at least THREE times by different patient contributors to clear your cache. Plus Alamy on the technical Thread.  Have you done it  ???
