Trevor Chriss Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I have no need in my life for either red or green arrows. Never used them, never will. It all seems quite pointless or is it reassuring that one or two people may agree with you. Still, for those who like them, enjoy. Bring on the reds.

There is a place for 'likes', as they can prevent lots of people just posting 'Agreed' in response to a good idea or suggestion. Reds are less useful, and open to malicious misuse. And leader boards / league tables are more appropriate for social media rather than a supposed business forum. But I suppose it could all be part of a package and they can't pick and choose.

GS-Images quoted you in a topic Allan Bell quoted you in a topic wim Yes.. here's another notification for you! Worth mentioning that you can turn these notifications on and off if they become too much or you want more of them. In the top right-hand side of the forum window is your name and profile picture. Click on the down arrow next to your name and choose 'Account Settings' from the pop-up menu that appears. On the screen that you then go to, 'Notification Settings' is a hyperlink on the right-hand side under the heading 'Other Settings'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm having to sign in again even if I've only left the forum for a little while. I like to pop in now and again when I have a moment and this is going to be a pain. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Morgan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 So what happened to the "View Unread?" It was there this morning on my desktop, but now on my laptop I can't find it anywhere. Am I blind? Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was there this morning on my desktop, but now on my laptop I can't find it anywhere. Am I blind? Jill There is an 'Unread Content' link below your name, notifications and messages icons at the top right. I guess you need to be logged in though... are you logged in? They do seem to be making changes. This morning, there was a horrible mess of a URL below everyone's name in their forum posts. This has been replaced with an hyperlink called 'Alamy URL' which seems to take you to that contributor's images if you click on it. Clicking on the number of images is broken however.

ReeRay Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 It's getting there. Still a couple of glitches as per the above, but I guess that'll be sorted soon. Not looking so bad actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They "fixed it" by turning the bare URL to a user's Alamy images into a new "Alamy URL" link, rather than the link in "Images: ???". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby steps... I agree that linking it to the image count as used to be would be better. 8 minutes ago, Colblimp said: And yet again Alamy 'fixes' something which isn't broken.

Hmm.. maybe, maybe not. i work in the IT industry and know that sometimes you have to accept updates from the supplier or lose support. There might be a very good reason to upgrade like a security fix in the newer version of the forum software. If the Alamy forum got infected with some horrible malware and then spread it to all of us, people really would be upset. Keeping up with updates from vendors helps fight such things.
