I wouldn't have any control on my images and account I know but you don't have control anyway. Apparently most agencies (if not all) have changed delete to disable. Once in, there is no way out.

The first couple reasons mentioned in the thread were about wanting to hide from employers or not wanting people to know they were in microstock. There are a million great reasons to want to be anonymous, but those made me chuckle a bit. That said, I can see the other side too of buyers having good reasons to want to know about contributors. I guess it's probably just easier to make it optional.
Could you please name just one of them? I have (just deleted) my website link on my personal info page in case anyone needs more insight about me, so it's not a secret but I don't like to be bullied by anyone. It is not as much about revealing this info but about elementary human rights like privacy.

Does anyone know how to delete the entire port without deactivation every single image?
I've just read the FAQ and you can only deactivate your files (some of them). It takes 12 month after deactivation and inactivity to delete your account. Although, I've seen some exclusives with recently deactivated accounts, always with 4 images still shown. I think they asked DT to do that. There is a new posting from Achille on their forum. They reverted to the old version but they are cooking something in secret: "We will revert this info for the initial batch as well, while we will work to bring the best decision for everyone."They are not trustworthy any more

I think you are confusing Mp with Mb. Accepted size is 6 Mp but not less than 17 Mb uncompressed:
Not confused, just a typo; but the end result of my post is the same. Typo corrected. Tx.
Sorry, it was for both of you and I know it was just the "slip of the pen". What Microstockman wanted to say (but couldn't) is that a 6 MP image can be smaller than 17MB, that is why the app is good for him. I am using your method. So, to recap for the original poster, let the uploader throw it away if it is smaller than 17MB, it is faster.

I think you are confusing Mp with Mb. Accepted size is 6 Mp but not less than 17 Mb uncompressed: Alamy requirements: 2. Photos from a camera that has a minimum of 6 megapixels Cameras with less than this wont be able to produce a good enough quality for us to sell 3. JPEGs Shoot or illustrate in whatever format you like, but youll need to submit your images to us as JPEGs. 4. JPEG file size of over 17MB (when uncompressed) This is likely to have a compressed JPEG size of 3-5MB. Opening a JPEG in an image program such as Adobe Photoshop will show you the uncompressed (open) file size. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/how-to-sell-images/guidelines-for-submitting-images/?section=3

Out of curiosity do we know the names of the Directors and location of their homes?
I understand this is rhetorical question but theirs is as easy to find out as ours.

Actually I was genuinely curious just wondered if its easily available on their site. I'm not overly concerned but it just seems poor form to change things without telling people.
I agree.

Hi, I got in Thursday with my adobe passwords etc and I uploaded about 40images. I sold one yesterday. What I don't understand is the price structure. I see that images are for sale for 9.99 or 59.99 and I earned 0.60 with my sale. Can anyone explain what happened? Thanks
As I know, sales come from both sites and are mirrored on both sites. There is no way for us to know what price structure they were sold with and on which site.

I just noticed FT climbed second in the poll. When did this happen? Just one more huge step to the top, you can do it FT!

I agree. It's just one part of the puzzle how contributors are treated by agencies.
The point IMHO is not the brought question disclosure of personal data or not but the attempt of an agency to take away the inherent right to every single person to decide him-/herself where to publish personal data. It's a No-Go that an agency publishes full names and home location to people (buyers) we even have not the slightest clue about. That's absolutely not acceptable.
BTW in Germany we have the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (Law to protect personal data). It might be one of the most severe laws in this field. It's simply unlawful to disclose any information without the written permission of the person.
Anyway if an agency seems to be dying it seems to me counterproductive to chase away contributors. Obviously ports had already been deleted.
I totally agree with you. Besides, my country, Romania is well know for having the most efficient and unscrupulous hackers (and thieves) in the world (shame or not). We are constantly warned on TV and news not to disclose our personal data, except to governamental entities. Now an agency from the same region tells me to do the oposite, that's ridiculous. Many simple-minded people have disclosed their data to retailers on those application forms for loyalty cards, points cards, which also entail agreements by the store concerning customer privacy. The end result is that more and more bank accounts are emptyed day by day, not to mention phone calls and emails. Everyone who wants to build a buisiness around his/her name, is free to do it but let me decide what I want for myself.

Now how difficult can be for a hacker to find out all information about anyone, phone number..... when your name, country and city is publicly displayed? How can it be helpful for buyers if they know my exact location? Is this some kind of discrimination? They should remove the text itself (confidential info) and let people choose what they want. This comes after Facebook blocked millions of users and they ask a copy of a governmental ID to unblock them. Unbelievable, and some of you still believe that this is done in good faith.
Please keep us informed if anything happens. I have nothing to hide but I can't stand to be pressed, especially not form people who make their money from my work. I will close my account on DT the moment they force me, they are not worth it anyway.

Thanks Dodie, I hadn't seen that post.
You are welcome Pablito. It was mentioned in some thread that the new tool will be able to read metadata too, so it would be nice to see it in action.

I've just re-read the Alamy restrictions blog post and can't see any reference to "new contributor tools are coming somewhere in september". Mind you, my wife tells me I can never find anything.
Not so long ago (a week or so), there was a comment from Alamy regarding the changes, not very informative though: http://www.microstockgroup.com/27342/27342/msg463805/#msg463805

Congratulations guys to your good month, enjoy it while you can. We all know how it works. That still doesn't mean that other people's images are not needed (as stated above), that was my point. Now it's your turn and tomorrow you may sing: Wheels are turning I remember when you were mine Now just to reach you Baby, I'd stand in line
But there's another world . .

Views have always been there under the image thumbs...
Yes, you are right. I think I confused it with SS, sorry.

September is normal for me. It's not a lack of customers, its that you do or don't have what they want. Simple as that.
Really? So, in August and July I had what they wanted and their preferences have changed all the sudden in September. It could be true though.

Now we have image view count under portfolio thumbs, not just sales. Good idea.

deleted files. too stupid prices
You can't delete your files on DP! 
What are you talking? click "Deactivate". Done.
deactivate ≠ delete

No, it's not a good idea.

I had 70 images in several batches reviewed this morning. The oldest files were uploaded on 29 July, so, it took a while. I uploaded some footage via ftp and they simply vanished, I couldn't find them anywhere, so I gave up.

Hi, I quit Fotolia years ago but when I get into Adobe with my Adobe password I have to sign up for a testversion of Adobe sign which ultimately costs $120 a year. Is this correct? The link to this test version doesn't work by the way. What do I do? Thanks,
Where do you "get into Adobe"? Do you want to contribute to Adobe stock? The support files say that: Step 1: Create an account Submit content on Fotolia.com. And coming soon, submit directly on Adobe Stock or through Lightroom CC and Bridge CC. Still you could try to sign in here but the upload links redirect to FT (for now): https://contributor.stock.adobe.com or https://stock.adobe.com/contributor

I still haven't had the possibility to check: is there a new FTP server to upload to if I want to submit through Adobe Stock instead of Fotolia?
You can drag and drop your files (maximum file size 30 MB) or upload via FTP. For an FTP upload, use your own FTP client and click on the Learn More option on the portals upload page to obtain the server information and your one-time personal password.
Note: Videos can only be uploaded through FTP at this time. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/upload-manage-content.html
