John Mitchell Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 For the past couple of days, the new version of "Manage your images" hasn't been working for me. When I try to edit an image, all I get is a blank screen. Anyone else having this problem? The old version is working fine, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'm not aware of a new version. Have I missed something? Geoff. Well, Alamy calls it the "new version," but it (version 2.4) has been around for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Alamy calls it the "new version," but it has been around for several years. Interesting. I thought maybe you were seeing the upcoming new tools and I'd missed the announcement. Well the "flash" version works for me at the moment after a quick check. I wasn't aware the old version was still available. Is that the old non-flash method? Geoff. Wishful thinking. Yes, that's the old non-flash version. I still find it useful sometimes. AFAIK my flash player is up-to-date, but I'll check to make sure. Adobe usually nags me mercilessly if it isn't.

IanGibson Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 It has worked fine for me for the past few days. I don't have flash, but use the Google Chrome browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gvallee Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I only use the old version and it takes me right there when I click on it. I used it an hour ago. All good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Crean Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Here's the URL I get from clicking on Manage your images button on my dashboard: http://www.alamy.com/manageimages-redirect.asp Then I just click on whichever version I want.

Phil Thanks Phil. I can see that page giving the choice using your link, but unfortunately clicking on the old version still redirects to "My Alamy" for me. Geoff. Seems like only Alamy tech boffins can answer why it works for some and not others, regardless of how recently they have used it. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Could you please paste the URL from the address bar you get on your MI page? It might be possible to hack the version number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Thanks for that. There was discussion about "use it or lose it" years ago. I didn't and did. The old one is a faint memory now. Roll on the new, new version because my second monitor has cheered up and now refreshes non-Flash screens properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I've been using the old forever. I like how the choices are all on the same page, the selecting of text and sliding it to the appropriate box without having to cut and paste. The only time I use the new is for searches. When I am in Manage Images, both versions are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Well, the "new" version is back up and running today (touch wood). The old version has always been available for me, even when I haven't used it for extended periods of time. It's the new one that I find unreliable, but I guess that's par for the course with flash.

MircoV Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Anyway i would not use to much time discussing this since the real new tools should be show up soon. Finally no flash . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I could never use the old version. I think those of use who signed up to Alamy after the new version came in, never got to access to the old version. Seems only those that have been here longer than me (which is just over 3 years) can still access the old MI. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digi2ap Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Anyway i would not use to much time discussing this since the real new tools should be show up soon. Finally no flash . I hope so as Flash is needing to be updated every couple of weeks or so because of 'security concerns'. While I could let this happen 'in the background' I prefer to know what updates are installed when. Roll on the new Manage Images and no Flash.......
