Sally Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Useful for other reasons though. I put all zoomed images on Copytrack, and it often turns up images that have either been copied with the watermark or used but not reported. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ognyan Yosifov Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 It's working now (apart from the "normal" temporary everyday glitch when most of us trying to check it) It'll be OK in about 15-20 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jansos Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Yes, same problem here. Would be interesting to know what is causing such frequent interference. Must be quite a big problem given that it happens so often now. Did I hear talk of Alamy introducing a new system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sb photos Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Today Measures, Your Images isn't showing sales, zooms are OK. If I set the start date back a year it shows nothing, so its not just this month. Sales show OK elsewhere. I'm sure it was OK yesterday. All these little issues don't give confidence that we aren't again heading for a major meltdown when the sticking plasters fall off. Time will tell. A new system will be very welcome.

Avpics Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Here's an odd thing. If I Google 'Avpics' (without the -Alamy instruction) as I do when searching for sales some of my uploads from yesterday are returned, such as image ref 2GDPKCR, yet it doesn't show on the database. How does that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imageplotter Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 On a separate, but possibly related note - that German .de version is flawed it seems. If I type in 'imageplotter' , only 13 rather boring, bland former news images of a 2016 Tower Bridge closure show up. In total. 13. In the .com version, 28,845 images show up, all those that have either imageplotter in the credit line or in the tags, minus any pseudos I have that have neither. Plus not only are the translated headings abysmal (leading to inaccuracies, which makes that whole issue around misleading captions/tags regarding our worries over certain clauses in the new contract all the more relevant), but it also changes the credit line of news images contained in the caption. In those 13 rather boring former news images, it changes the credit line from 'Imageplotter News and Sports', my previous news pseudo, to 'Imageplotter and Sports'. Err. I would hate to think what it might do to other news pseudos or even contributor names, if they are contained as a credit line in former news images, as they usually are. (this is the credit line automatically added by Alamy Live News as the images are uploaded to the news feed, it automatically adds the chosen default pseudo, it's not me typing the credit line into the caption). Please could alamy address this, why is the credit line being translated, it makes no sense whatsoever and it should be fixable. And why do only 13 images show up v 28.845 in the .com?
