Unable to access any of their features.  Anybody else?

It is the same for me. There is no statement on their Twitter channel.

Did they finally die? It took some time

Offline for me trying to access from New York 4:30 pm EDT March 19

the contributor side dashboard has been off and on for me today - on now - 15:27 west coast USA. I haven't tried anything else.

Works fine for me - other than no recent sales.

Still offline though the customer site seems to be working OK 

Is their ftp working now ?

Down for me too, for about 2 days now

Perhaps Alamy has changed some internal link structures. My saved bookmarks for Contributor Dashboard are not working. If I start at Alamy dot Com and click through the My Account and login access, all works.

You're not wrong. Tried alamy.com and it works

Everything seems to be working now except for the forum.

back to normal, 3 puny sales reported today, including 2 with 76% commission.

They changed the web address

It used to be https://secure.alamy.com/myalamy-aim.aspx

Now its https://www.alamy.com/myalamy-aim.aspx

Put in the new address it should take you to the contibutor dashboard

What about the Forum?  I still can't sign in.

So here with us (Germany) there were no problems.

Could also the last few days under the link https://www.alamy.de/myalamy-aim.aspx in my dashboard and also continue to forum.

True, I can read in the forum, but not sign in.

The notice at the bottom of the Forum has: There are no registered users currently online
I don't want to start a new account just to see if I can sign in that way.

I was just in the forum. It was accessable via login. However we seem to be missing some discussion categories. Maybe a data restore is still in progress?

I cannot login. Something is wrong there, reset does not send email. Contacted support

Does Alamy take generative ai?

They have declined all of mine.

Initially my batch was too large, then I broke it down to 2-4 files but it always gets declined.

But I see they have a lot of gen ai content online.

Have they changed their policy?

For what they are paying for partner sales, they should welcome anything they can get.

I made a few, that were my original images, upload to, and altered using DALL-E2. They are my own, with some help from AI. Not someone else's work in any way, to transform them. No prompts or anything, just my image uploaded and four variations created. Then I altered that myself.

Officially:  https://www.alamy.com/blog/ai-and-your-images-protecting-rights-and-creating-opportunities#:~:text=While%20the%20sources%20for%20AI%20image%20generation%20by,all%20of%20this%20content%20that%20we%20can%20identify.

"While the sources for AI image generation by many platforms are at worst scraped without permission and at best unclear, we cannot accept AI generated material on Alamy. It already breaches our standard terms and conditions because it is not necessarily free from rights. We are in the process of removing all of this content that we can identify."

OK, thank you!

They have a lot of content with keywords generative ai.

That is why I started uploading.
