Please Help!!!!!!

Post by hg » Tue Sep 23, 2008 10:02 pm

What have I done????

I searched on my viewed images and previous searches using the filter button now it seems there is nothing saved there. When I click on both these buttons now it says no images. Does this mean I have lost all my saved images that I have paid for???

I have contacted ScotlandsPeople but I wondered if anyone might have an answer.

regards

Hi Helen
Not sure if you have unticked the filter you applied - if not, try that first! That usually works.

Best wishes
Lesley

Hi Lesley,

Sorry if I am being dense. I did think of that but I cannot work out how to do that as I cannot get into my viewed images to do it. It says I have no images.

I just had a look at faq's on downloading and viewing images. It says deleted items are not retrievable even if it also in the timeline section of the account. I just checked and mine are still there.

I am so silly, I am not very computer literate, I wonder 'what will happen if I press that button' not thinking of the consequences. 8-[

I will keep my fingers crossed.

If they don't re-appear I hope ScotlandPeople come back with an answer.

I could cry. All that work!!!!!!

well, phew, I thought I'd just try searching for one of my previous searches that I know I had already found and just pay the one credit so I could gain access to my previous search to see what's going on, and what do you know I was able to open previous search and there are all of my searches.

I guess I can do the same for my viewed images. Not until I find something I don't mind paying five credits for. There must be another way though.

Just hope someone might be able to suggest what.


Panic over - for now.

Thanks Tracey,

What a panic I got into, I was so annoyed with myself when I thought I had lost the lot.

Feel better now. Hopefully, everything will be alright tomorrow when I log in. It will be the first thing I do when I get home from work.

all the best

Hi Tracey,

I didn't have time before work.

Checked when I got home, everything is ok.

What a relief.

Hairdressers do have the answers!!!! :P
