Post by: Carmel12 on December 05, 2012, 10:56

Hi
What does this mean?  And what do you enter into the little white box?

Thanks
Ruth

It's a system they put in a few years ago so u spend less time on other stock sites  :D

If the flagged keyword seems like a perfectly valid keyword to you, ignore the email, if the flagged keyword is innapropriate to the image, take out the keyword.

Err, not sure she meant that -you don't get an email alert for flagged keywords (well I don't anyway!). Isn't it the service for buyers where they send you an email if there are new images matching the keyword/s you're interested in (e.g. frogs). I'm sure I've seen that on their newsletters but can't find anything on the site. Or is that another agent? Age brings confusion.....Regards, David.

I think we are talking about the option in the profile page to specify a keyword that would get sent via e-mail when there are new matches.  See http://www.dreamstime.com/profile (http://www.dreamstime.com/profile)

In March 2011 an admin stated: "If you wish to be notified of all new additions on a certain topic, you insert that specific keyword and you will receive e-mails with newly added files."

Can't say I've tried it...

The feature I'm specifically talking about is in the Contributor area, "Site Feature" area.  I've searched the DT site and can't find any explanation as to what it does and why.  How many key words can you input?  Is it really helpful?

Many thanks,
Ruth

I've never noticed that before. It can only be to alert buyers (or anyone) when images which have specific keywords in them are added to dt. It's not directly in the Contributors Area, but in a shared area. Just enter the keyword 'business' and tell us if ur inbox gets flooded.

@David Ur right we don't get emails for flagged keywords, just notifications. It's not just age which brings confusion, but Dt.  ::)
