Imagehost Problems, Imagebam, Imagevenue, PimpAndHost, PixHost, ImgBox etc

A possibility is that it isn't Pimp&Host itself but one (or more) of the ads supplied by a third party that they run, either on the page or via pop-up/under windows. That's happened any number of times with other image hosts.

Looking back at it now that I'm not half asleep, it wasn't the hosting site itself that TrendMicro said was bad, but one of the pop-up ads on there. I sincerely apoloigize for any confusion.

After u/l images to P&H empty pic frames with all working features (URL's, deleting, moving) are displayed (P&H got note by users)
Earlier posted images are display as usual at both P&H and at websites/forums like at VEF.
At this post (please take a view to time stamp) http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/sho...3&postcount=44 the last image posted by me without troubles at both P&H and VEF.

9 times out of 10 any infection will actually come from the advertising domain running on the picture host
the problem is the pic host & advertising domains are on different physical servers & the pic hosting company out source advertising to 3rd party companies,many can be legitimate but any dodgy company can easily use it to spread infections, (quite unlikely)
or more likely the advertising server is hacked and the hacker uses the adverts (via ActiveX) to spread the infection

The best form of defence is to use Firefox & no/script, this will stop 3rd party domains installing anything (as long as you dont allow the domain manually)

Was just wondering if there's any trick to being able to post the full size picture from ImageBam rather than dealing with a thumbnail or plain clickable link. I paid for a premium membership because one of the claims was you could skip the thumbnails for a full size image. My sizes are ranging from 100 KB to 140 KB and within acceptable size range, but I get a red "circle with slash mark" symbol that says something like "Hotlinking not allowed by ImageBam" when I tried a test post here at VEF. Anyone else have an ImageBam Premium that have any ideas ?

Thank you,

The premium option is to get rid of the ads when viewing pics, thats all

I recall reading another post from you on this. It seems to me your ultimate objective is to be able to post full size images in your messages here on VEF instead of thumbnails. You might as well give it up, because VEF is thumbnails only.

No one wants to see full size images in forum posts, because it makes the forum pages take forever to load, and bandwidth costs money. There is simply no good reason to post full size images in a forum.

If I'm wrong about your intentions, I stand to be corrected.

UncleRemus,
I think you just answered my question. No, I did not want to clog up the forum with huge pics but I have noticed that some member's posts just have an easier to see layout like the one below by "grossnex".

I just assumed I could do my screenshots with the freeware program and enlarge the whole storyboard slightly in order to see better detail than the ones I've been posting.

I didn't think of the obvious, that apparently you individually place each pic side by side to make a storyboard that appears bigger. I think I'll take individual pics and painstakingly place each one.
