I can't create custom url for my portfolio.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to create a custom url for my portfolio but it's not working. I put a name and click on create portfolio id but nothing happen and when I close the window the field for custom url is empty.

It's been a very, very long time but I think I remember that the darn thing didn't want to take my name with Safari. I had to do it with Firefox. Somebody here will probably have more information than I do.

Hi, be aware you can't change your url once you've set it up.

Thanks a lot NYCat but both doesn't works.

Yes Steve I know but actually I was not able to change it at all.

I was curious so I looked. I don't see the instructions. Just description. Hmmm. I know there are instructions somewhere.

There are instructions accessed from the Portfolio page itself but I think that the OP is actually following the instructions:

 

Contributor Portfolio

Introduction:

You can now curate and share your Alamy image collection through your portfolio page. Your portfolio page will display your images and you can personalise it by adding a bio, profile photo and cover image.

How to share your portfolio:

You can share a link to your portfolio page by clicking on 'Share this portfolio' underneath your bio. The first time you share this you can personalise your URL, but once you've chosen your personalisation and shared the link you won't be able to change this again.

How to curate your first page:

Your first page will automatically be displayed with your most recent uploads at the top, but you can curate this.

You can move images around by using the 'drag and drop' feature and can move images to the top of the page by clicking 'move to top'. You'll find both features by hovering over the images with your mouse.

How to create galleries:

You can create a new gallery by clicking the '+' tab next to 'All Images'. To add images simply select 'curate gallery' which will bring up all images in your collection which you can search through and add by clicking 'add to gallery'.

Once you've added images to a gallery you can curate them how you would your first page.

How to share galleries:

Once you're in a gallery you can share a link to this by clicking on the 3 horizontal lines to the right of the gallery title and selecting 'share' from the dropdown menu.
