AgencyLogic Support Series – Uploading Images Using Google Chrome

Google recently released a new version of its Chrome browser which included blocking Adobe Flash by default. This impacted millions of Internet users including AgencyLogic clients specifically through the image upload feature of our software suite.

The easiest solution is to use another browser (for example Internet Explorer (AKA “I.E.”) or Firefox) but for those wanting to stick with Chrome there is a simple work around.

Please follow these steps – if you have additional questions give us a call on:

(888) 201-5160

or email:

support@agencylogic.com

The following steps work for version 64.0.3282.167:

Step 1:

Check that you have Flash installed. Flash is a technology used in our image/file upload component and so has to be installed and current (the latest version).

To check visit:

www.whatismybrowser.com

You should see something like this:

Single Property Websites

If the message says you do not have Flash installed you need to install it. To do this visit:

get.adobe.com

and follow the steps detailed on the Website. Then close your browser, reopen it and try to upload your images/files again.

Step 2:

If you still cannot upload files it is likely that Chrome is blocking flash. To solve this issue open Chrome and click on the small three dots located in the top right hand corner:

Step 3:

A drop down menu will appear – click on “Settings”

Step 6:

This opens up more options under the words “Content settings.” In the “Flash” section you should see “Ask First”

If you don’t then click the small triangle to the right of the word “Flash”

Step 7:

The final page should show “Ask first (recommended)”:

If it says “Block sites from running Flash” like this:

click on the slider on the right to revert the setting back to “Ask first (recommended).”

Step 8:

The final step is to add the following to the list of allowed sites:

powersite.agencylogic.com

To do this click the ‘Add’ button:

Single Property Websites

Then enter powersite.agencylogic.com and click the ‘Add’ button:

Single Property Websites

You should now be able to upload files – images and documents.

Facebook’s the Common Ground for Adults on Social Media

Despite its waning popularity among teenagers in the United States, Facebook remains the number 1 social media platform for those aged 18 and above. According to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, 68 percent of U.S. adults use the world’s largest social network, putting it miles ahead of second-placed Instagram in terms of reach.

Social media usage among U.S. adults has increased slightly over the past two years with Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter all improving their reach compared to a similar survey conducted in 2016. However, since the main purpose of social networking is to connect with other people, it doesn’t come as a surprise that Facebook is the common ground for adult social media users in the United States.

As the following chart illustrates, roughly 9 in 10 adult users of any other social network can also be found on Facebook while most other platforms share a much lower proportion of their respective audiences. Interestingly, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat appear to be particularly popular among social media enthusiasts as users of these three platforms tend to use several others as well.
