NYCat Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 My accountant files electronically but, yes, if I get a refund not applied to the next year I get a check. With these stimulus checks I tried at first to get mine into my bank account but never succeeded so these are coming in the mail. Very old fashioned here but it is something I can take a picture of.

Stokie Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Alamy are potentially missing out on sales by not updating the database quickly enough (obviously). I had 2 searches yesterday for 'Bodnant Garden', one of 80 images and the other of 41, of which 3 were zoomed. I uploaded 23 more images the day before of Bodnant Garden but they aren't on sale yet, therefore I'm missing out on potential sales.

John. which actually brings an issue i noticed recently it's not only about the day before uploads) A client did a search for "National Arts Centre ottawa" and got according to AoA 39 results, client even did it twice probably figuring out this was low, by Capitalizing and then not "Ottawa" (no impact on search). When i do the search there is over 100 images that match that come out. This is not the first such occurrence i've noticed recently. @Alamyin case developers are not aware of this issue. i loss potential sale (only one hit, when i should have 5) but maybe so did Alamy, as sadly you get some false positive due to a couple news event that happened close by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That odd numbers show up that are less than a page of images when the search terms have multiple pages showing looks like that is what's happening. "Emily Dickinson" has 343 images; views on a search yesterday were 266. Views would be activity (mouseovers or closing out of a search), not total available photos that matched the keywords.

wiskerke Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 We do not see any filters on AoA. We only see filters in our Pseudo Summary. We have no idea about the regional limitations set by agencies or contributors. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could any of these affect the fact client only got to see one? it should have been 0 or 5 Edited January 21, 2021 by meanderingemu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is when live news uploads just disappear into a black hole after 48 hours. Particularly with weather related images, storms etc as has happened recently they tend to be in demand for more than the 48 hour period. Having them just disappear for a while is really bad.

Some agencies have large parts of the globe excluded because they have their own outlet there or a better deal with some other distributor. And so have individual contributors. That said, I have seen hiccups a couple of weeks ago where halfway through a search, going one page back, I got -A- a whole different set of images on that page and sometimes -B- only half or less of the total I was getting before. Because there were some more issues at that time, I did not pay a whole lot of attention to those. wim edit: I would especially expect news agencies to be not showing in some parts of the world.
