What happend to images order in our portfolios? Sort by relevance, and order is totaly different.....

What are you seeing Chode? Does it look like the search engine is different, or did they just change the options?

Before reordering didn't work for me. I clicked "Downloads" but the images didn't sort acording to the number of downloads.

stokfoto · « **Reply #3 on:** April 14, 2008, 16:02 »

yes something is wrong with it.it only sorts images with relevance none of the other parameters work for me.(ie downloads descending or creation date)
and in the new order it seems that my exclusive images show up first considering many of them my early submissions I am not really happy with this now.I hope it will go back to normal.

most important for me that i had no sales since yesterday. What about you ?

stokfoto · « **Reply #5 on:** April 14, 2008, 16:18 »

I didn't notice a certain impact on sales yet but images I sold today were among my earlier submissions as well so it has to be something to do with it.

I did one search (not my portfolio). Except for the "infinite collection" images, they get sorted correctly using "downloads" or "views".

Now, if I got to "My Portfolio" - "See my portfolio online", and then I try to sort by anything, the resort window says "No files found". $:-\$

A very slow month everywhere for me, and FT isn't different. The good side is that larger sizes are not rare.

Yes, Fotolia now has a 'proper' relevance sort. Before this, the relevance sort was simply newest upload.

I did a few searches just now and the results seemed satisfactory.

Looks like more progress is being made at Fotolia. Now if they could just change the Christmas images from the home page.....

stokfoto · « **Reply #8 on:** April 14, 2008, 18:50 »

it seems to me that with the change there exclusive images favored more in relevance order.I hope I am wrong.

vonkara · « **Reply #9 on:** April 14, 2008, 18:53 »

My portfolio seem to be sorted by the less popular old ... Thanks for saying I will probably disable them to let more correct pics to show up a little

hatman12 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 14, 2008, 19:04 »

The eagle eyed amongst will have noticed a little addition next to the 'total images' shown in one's profile - it now has in brackets (% of exclusive images), which suggests that Fotolia is about to place some additional importance on exclusive stuff.

stokfoto · « **Reply #11 on:** April 14, 2008, 19:05 »

also I notice older images show up first, at least that is the case within my portfolio,I might remove some of images too if things stay the same.

stokfoto · « **Reply #12 on:** April 15, 2008, 05:53 »

it seems to be back to normal now

Karl Bolf · « **Reply #13 on:** April 25, 2008, 17:06 »

Regarding search engine, did u notice that the sort by number of views is now gone (you can only sort by price, sales, relevance, date). Did I dream or was there also "Views" before ?

In a way, I find it fair. It used to boost pictures that were already on FT for a very long time.

MAS · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2008, 08:41 »

Hii,
Mine seem to be sorted by best sellers now
not the most recent..

vonkara · « **Reply #15 on:** April 26, 2008, 20:41 »

Yes it seem back to normal... fiouu

stokfoto · « **Reply #16 on:** April 28, 2008, 11:20 »

They seem to be fiddling with it again.in my portfolio mainly older images appear first. or is it just me?

Peter · « **Reply #17 on:** April 28, 2008, 12:02 »

yep, me 2. again. not happy.

btw, thre is no "sort by views" any more. for now.

jsnover · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2008, 12:54 »

I wouldn't have noticed unless I'd seen this thread - portfolio sort by "relevance" is a raves from the grave. I have to go to page 7 to get even one image from this year.

I wouldn't mind if there were a mix of old and new, and it isn't just the best sellers either (they're nohwere to be seen in the first chunk of pages). It's hard to see what possible "great idea" was behind this arrangement.

I think they might want give a bit more exposure to less seen files by changing the order from time to time.last time when they did that I complained about it but that day turned out to be one my best days there but today I haven't even had a single sale.so I am not sure if doing this really is a good idea.

vonkara · « **Reply #20 on:** April 28, 2008, 14:52 »

LOL- I don't think there's an idea behind this. The FT search seem to fluctuate accordingly to the different bugs they have.

Peter · « **Reply #21 on:** April 28, 2008, 15:09 »

This happend before. this is a bug. you should all report it to support, sooner they will react.

vonkara · « **Reply #22 on:** April 28, 2008, 15:38 »

I just contacted support. But at the same time it don't take Einstein to discover that when doing a search for traffic lights there's only 13 (traffic lights) showing in the first 100 files. If I was a designer and was searching for a set of traffic lights and only find pictures of cars in the night streets "hmm".

What these keywords have to do in the more relevent for that types of files?

hatman12 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 28, 2008, 18:47 »

Fotolia is a bit like Jaws.....

... you just never know when its safe to go back in the water.......

Peter · « **Reply #24 on:** April 29, 2008, 00:59 »

Lol, their suport is very funny I guess, I wrote a message:

and I knew they reply somrthing like this:

We are not sure we understand your request. Please describe in more detail how can we assist you.

LOL! It is like they even do not know anything about this. Thats why I told you to write them a mesage, not only me.
