I haven't seen much feedback on Pixhost.org
Hopefully, no news is good news.

But I saw a few things I thought worth reporting.

It seems like many folks have found this host, and are using it.

I have noticed some are uploading images without using the create gallery option.
Evidently, creating a gallery is not the default setting.
The create gallery option links the photos and makes it much easier for us to download your batch of images manually.
So please remember to check that create gallery box. It might stay clicked.
No gallery title needed, but you can add them if you want.

I did notice one pixhost outage a few days ago.
No thumbs showing.
I didn't try any image links, but will next time.
All seemed fine for me an hour later

I haven't noticed any image failures yet. Knock on wood.
That is amazing compared to Image Bam, Box, and Venue.

Haven't noticed any strange pop ups like howerd mentioned, but I have ad blocker enabled.

One other problem I've seen is sometimes an image fails during upload.
But it clearly tells you there was an error.
Loading the batch a second time seems to work just fine.

2 nice things is that pixhost remembers the folder you just used, and it keeps your filename in the image codes, and in the filename it uses to save the image.
Imagevenue makes me re-browse for the folder every time I save an image.
Imagebam now seems to drop my filename and insert some strange code name.
These coded file names don't even keep them in order.
Maybe my ad blocker is causing these problems.
But all seems to work fine on pixhost.

I do not recommend using pixhost for your only image host, because they will have a bad day somewhere along the way.
But I like them enough to reload many of my images there for my posted images.

I kept many of the old uploads on other hosts, if all the images were still working.
Setting them up to be accessed through gallery links.
This makes them accessible as mirrors in case pixhost does fail, or shutdown.
We'll see if they last.

I have noticed a few members including mirror gallery links to other hosts in their new posts.
They posted their main images on pixhost, plus a mirror gallery link to a second host.
Inspired me to do more mirrors.
With all the image host failures, and near failures, mirror galleries seem like a good thing to do.
There are other good reasons to create galleries.

But so far so good with pixhost, other than once for an hour or so.
Unless I missed something.

Cheers !
