Fotopic search function


pH

Recommended Posts

I've just tried searching for Fotopic pictures using a search term I know should find some (it should retrieve one of my own, if no others). The search says there are no pictures found. I then tried a really broad term ('Glasgow') and again the search returned no hits. Are other people having similar problems, or should I be paranoidsad.gif ?

Not that it is of much help, but I rarely find Fotopic search to work at all. It can be very frustrating at times, there must be some glitch in the software somewhere.

It has been like this for some considerable time, months in fact. Some days it works, but most days it doesn't :unsure:

You can always try again later, though you are probably better off searching on Google I'm afraid.

Just sent their help email the following:

 

"Dear Sirs,

 

About a month ago I sent you a similar e-mail relating to the fact that the search option via Photo on your site was not working. A search I know for a fact that had returned results in the past was stating "No results found for ...".

 

To your credit the matter appeared to be resolved within a couple of days but sadly the same fault has again materialised.

 

This matter has now been raised on a forum I regularly attend and is affecting the research possibilities for a growing number of people. Your site has been of considerable assistance to me in the past and I would not wish to see its importance diminished by negative publicity.

 

With this in mind please endeavour to resolve this problem on a more permanent basis.

 

Regards"

Enter this in Google, not Fotopic:

 

"class 150" site:http://community.fotopic.net

 

When the results appear, click on the word cached on each one.

 

Not perfect, but better than nothing. :)

 

Martin.

Email received this morning from fotopic:

 

"I'm happy to say a new search server was set live this morning, and is

far more capable than the previous server."

 

Seems to be working well for me at the moment.
