John Mitchell Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Yes, it's much better. I won't need to take my Gravol now. 🤢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Dave Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 ...they just need to remove the unpleasant lime-green bar from across the top of the screen (and the message contained therein) - for it to be both aesthetically and commercially pleasing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I'm OK with the new front page now but frustrated with the filters. I had been looking in the Uncut section and when I went back later I could not get that filter off until I waited a long time for the filter to decide to say nothing found for the image I was looking for. Only then could I remove the filter. Am I missing something? Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I just tried a search for London after looking at the lightbox for the Queen via the link on Twitter. Nothing nada zilch! And no filter or anything I can set or reset. If this is what clients are seeing, there soon will be not a lot of them left. wim 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I'm finding it wont let me PASTE anything previously copied into the search box. Very frustrating and will certainly put customers off. Edited September 9, 2022 by Sultanpepa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I propose changing the title to FIX THE FRONT PAGE! ☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiskerke Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I just found a workaround for active filters that are not showing. Click any filter button like Rights managed or Royalty free. Wait for it to be applied (may take a while). Now click the now visible Clear all. The search box will work again. So probably all invisible filters have also been cleared. wim Edited September 9, 2022 by wiskerke typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the 'Clear All' has always been there after clicking on the Blue Number, so you just have to open up the side panel. Of course you need to know to do that. Same with a Contributor search that has been typed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well have been another invisible filter not related to that lightbox. The problem with these Harry Potter spells is that the user just hasn't applied them knowingly. wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact since they've removed the flashing video it is easier to click into the field, before that the field was separated into different 'boxes' so you had to trick your way in. More the pity then that you can't right-click and 'Paste'. No, it's ridiculous, why should obstacles be put in the way of picture buyers in such a fundamental way?
