NYCat Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I am so glad to be back. I was resorting to reading the news first thing in the morning instead of the Forum. Not good for my disposition. Hope to hear from everyone soon. Paulette 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultanpepa Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 It took a few days to stop checking it constantly but after that life went on. It would have been nice to get an e-mail from Alamy when it became apparent the forum was going to be down for a while though. I'm sure it would have prevented many an e-mail dropping in at contributor relations wondering where the problem lay. Nice to be back though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitJames Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Posted on a different photo sharing site for photos that wouldn't be accepted here, meanwhile adding to my Alamy portfolio of a village I visited, which felt lacking on Alamy so I contributed a few more. I also have been looking at other locations to visit and photograph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I spent the time trying to unblock our kitchen sink. Does anyone know a good plumber who doesn't charge a fortune? 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I chewed nails. That was after my knuckles were gone. Really bad for my teeth, but no fear, I have a dental appointment July late. Out of luck on the knuckles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I too thought all these bad thoughts about what Alamy might be up too. And I always thought I was an optimist. I checked the Facebook group for Stock Photographers, for info but not much news there, just more conspiracy theories. So great to see (the avatars at least) and read the words from old forum friends!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 It was helpful for me that my son flew in on Weds morning. He left Sunday morning. So I fretted for three or four days mostly, although I did check in every day. Actually shocked me to see it open a while ago because I did already check once & it was a no go. I actually had time to strip & wash sheets for two beds this morning & remake them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Ore Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 After a while, I'd check to see if zero contributors were logged in. Busy doing research for another writing project, and waiting to hear from a former agent with whom I still have a contract, I think, but she can refuse to represent projects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alamy Posted July 10 Popular Post Share Posted July 10 Hi All, Apologies that the forum went down last week. It was a genuine IT issue which took some time to resolve. We also couldn't log in so there was no chance to share an update, but everyone who emailed the Contributor Relations Team got a reply informing them as soon as it was back up and running. So we're really sorry for the length of the outage, but we've taken steps to ensure that any future issues will get resolved much more quickly! Thanks Sophie 1 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
