Where did the small thumbnails go????

[Jon Lewis]

Hi All

 

I cant seem to get the search page to display small thumbnails only the large annoying ones am I missing something??

Im sure the Alamy hive can help.

The small thumbnails option disappeared with the new makeover back on June 21st. I suppose it's always possible that Alamy quietly bring it back but not so far. Of course it affects potential buyers more than it does contributors but I wonder if they would ever complain about its demise, and new visitors to the site wouldn't know what they were missing.

 

If you're feeling nostalgic then the option remains in 'Latest Collections', as here:

The Latest Collections are accessed from the very, very bottom of the agonisingly busy new home page and if you select one you also get a tantalising glimpse of the old top search bar.

Thanks Harry I find the large thumbnail system so slow not to load but to navigate .

 

Just tried even your link has large thumbnails with no info underneath

 But it has the option to switch at top right, you get small thumbnails with the filename underneath and whether they are RM or RF. I'm sure they've just haven't got round to updating those pages.

The whole thing is agonizing. So depressing.

Maybe most clients never used small thumbnails? Like on their phone? 😂

I also find it annoying that we can only move through pages one at a time. There used to be the option at the bottom of the page to move ahead a few pages.

Once you get to Page 2 you can just edit the page=no in the URL address and go to any page you like.

Thank you! I wonder if buyers know that. Maybe they don't need to do that.
