Maybe a DMCA take down notice will work.
It sure would work. Its just a DMCA take down has to be made for each and every image separately, with title, description, location of original, location of copy......... I still have more than 500 images there. I contacted their support but haven't heard back.

I asked for account closure and deletion of all my images at Canstock. I got a fast answer, account closed. My problem is that their affiliates still display all my images, even those deleted by me many month ago. One of their affiliates, https://www.freeart.com gives away small resolution images for free and without watermark, which are still usable for bloggers. I asked CS to close affiliate accounts too but I got a bogus answer to wait 24 hours till affiliates update their database which is not happening. Does anyone know how to get rid of these guys? Many thanks in advance.

It is crowdcast.io requirment to fill some info I believe, not Adobe's.
I know that, Adobe has all my data anyway. Why would I share all my personal info with another social media site that has nothing to offer to me but I understand that it is a useful marketing tool. I'll just pass, thanks.

Ι think you can join with email using a secondary one if you wish some sort of privacy?
No you can't. After your email address they are asking for your name, town.....agree with their terms, take a tour of the site and even when you fill in everything, it is just a black screen, the video is not playing.

Wasn't this public information to share and help anyone? Why do I have to join and share all my personal info with a site I don't want to, just to watch a replay? To continue, Google will share your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture with firebase-crowdcast.firebaseapp.com.

The customer facing site doesn't display the keywords that are associated with the file. It displays related keywords to assist customers in additional search terms.

Well, that is a new explanation of what was happening on FT already. Unfortunately, changing keywords was an old FT habit. We discussed this in 2015 already, nothing has changed. Adobe took over FT and didn't bother to fix some problems. They just renamed the keyword section to "similar keywords", sweeping it under the carpet. Here is the proof: https://www.microstockgroup.com/25244/25244/msg423387/#msg423387https://www.microstockgroup.com/24960/24960/msg420598/#msg420598

If you are viewing from the public facing portfolio page, the keywords displayed are not necessarily the keywords applied to the image. Those are recommended keywords of similar subjects created by Adobe Sensei to assist customers in their search. If you are viewing from the Dashboard section of the portal and scrolling down to see your keywords and they are different, then it is likely you uploaded with no embedded keywords and selected multiple images at once. Sensei generates up to 25 keywords for you automatically though they can't be seen when multi-select in use. There is a warning message that appears however to give you a heads up.
-Mat
With all due respect, that is not how it is happening. The OP is right, keywords that are probably not in sensei's vocabulary are simply omitted and others changed. I have all my metadata, always embedded in the image file, still.... I just checked nine of my images and on buyers' site all main keywords are missing, e.g. I have 45 keywords when looking on dashboard and 40 at the so called "Similar keywords" on buyer site" (shown in the attachment bellow).

Hi there,
Can any SS contributors confirm if you're able to access the Account Settings of your profile? I'm currently getting a Error code: 500 and want to check out if that's just me.
Thanks in advance.
No error here, it loads normally.

Let's be honest, the previous interface wasn't that good either with all those icons. I mean, it looked like some kiddie chatroom website from 2002:
That is true but they didn't improve anything, they took away some features and put nothing in place. I hate their editing system, editing images one by one in the order they impose it instead of batch editing at least categories. I shoot mainly food, I could choose the category for all images at once, if they would let me.

Current Earnings > Account Statistics
Not any more. I can only see statistics on the dashboard, a miserable graph with "dark black"and "light black" bars, not even color. Is view count gone too, I don't see it anywhere. Instead of updating the upload page (editing method), they destroyed those few good features they had.

Sometimes, I see this text in red on some images, on the edit page (on new uploads). What does this mean?
I thought I will figure it out in time but I didn't, so please can anyone tell me what it means?
Thank you very much.

friday is an holiday?
But it is summer in the US, so lots of people go on holiday (vacation).
From what I know, it is summer all over the Northern Hemisphere but vacations don't always affect sales that much, at least not for everyone. My AS sales were way down before summer started. Now it is worse than DP.

Not a single sale after May 24. Miserable month at Adobe. They killed FT but not just the brand but the entire agency.

I'm glad I didn't bother with the "freebie" even though it was offered subscription models suck!
I agree!
65
« on: May 02, 2019, 16:49 »
What does this have to do with the 1-year free offer?
You are right, probably nothing  I deleted that.

For me they run very close, and Adobe gave me free PS for a year, I wouldn't say they have done nothing
Free PS for a year and then you have to pay for it for as long as you use it.
Thats called a hook in marketing speak
You've been hooked 
I agree, there is no free lunch at Adobe, never was. Besides, what has this to do with all the missing features on contributor interface?

I understand now what is happening with the earning reports.
Ft ans AS being on different time zones, I can see a sale recorded on FT on the 20th and the same sale on the 21st on AS. This is really confusing, not just for the earnings report.
They should really synchronize these two sites somehow.

I already received my report at noon for today while the day is not over yet. I thought these emails should show earnings from previous day.
The emails always come at noon but last night I received another copy for sales from two days ago.
It is not that they are of any use, I already know my sales when the email comes but if they still send it, at least wait till the day is over.

I uploaded a batch earlier this week and they made it into my port. I didn't check if they were searchable but they have had some views.
They had some pretty bad issues with different data on different servers (I presume) so that downloads would appear and disappear over a day or 2. I haven't had a sale in a few days, so I don't know if that is fixed.
I made a bit more there last month than I have most months lately mostly due to a few bigger $ sales, but more like income in 2007 with a few hundred images as opposed to early 2007 with 100 or less files.
Thanks for your answer. These missing images of mine are searchable and have views, just not showing up in my port. I don't know if that has any effect on sales. I had some sales these last days but I don't know if the earning balance is updating (as said in the other thread). I am close to payout but I don't remember exactly how much money I had before these problems started.

Hi everyone,
It seams that DT is on autopilot.
My main complaint is that none of my approved images this month are showing in my portfolio. I contacted support on the 10th and got an answer that my list with the missing image ID-s was forwarded to their tech guys but nothing was fixed till the time of this writing.
Also, after completing the submission process (keywording, categories, submitting), some images simple vanish, not in pending, not in rejected, not in approved.
I stopped uploading now until they fix their bugs.
Anyone else having these problems?

The email received today shows the wrong amount for yesterday's earnings. One download is missing from the so called best sellers compared to the earnings page. Is it so hard to add a few numbers?

I always thought that categories are more useful for the search algorithm (similar images) than for buyers.
I could be very wrong though.

Alamy's contributor relations (member services) are IMHO the best in the business - fast, friendly and very helpful.
[email protected]
Thank you Martin, I contacted them already.

« on: March 21, 2019, 12:45 »
You would be better off asking Alamy direct on this question
Thank you Sammy. I thought someone was in the same situation and has the answer.
