Russell Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 For obvious reasons the Alamy News team Tweet images that they think are interesting using a short form of the web address as in http://www.alamy.com/news/?123456(that's a phony number). It links to the set for that submission. If I wanted to Tweet the presence of my images on Alamy news, I'd need to include an almost endless http://www.alamy.com/news/newsresults.aspx#BHM=foo%3Dbar%2......... It doesn't fit! Does anyone know where I can find the magic number represented by "123456" in the above? Thanks for your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I tried to tweet my live news images directly from Alamy today but the share link didn't work. Anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
