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

[RetroXXXlovr95]

Thanks for the tip! Although I would really like someone to maybe explain what just happened. Seems weird...

While the image upload "plug-in" is embedded in the VEF forum software, it is controlled by PimpandHost.

In recent days pimpandhost.com has been slow to process uploads of more than 3MB; which is not very good performance. If you try to upload more than a few images (eg: 6 or 7 totalling more than 3MB in total) the "processing" script runs forever, and may not finish correctly.

I suspect that they are experiencing some kind of server problem, and have disabled the "plug-in" to reduce server loads.

When they get it fixed, the "Browse" button will appear again; as if by magic. Hopefully their performance will be restored, too.

Addendum:

Dang . . .

It's back . . . .about 30 seconds after I posted the above.



Another tip . . . .

If you don't see the "Browse" button when composing a "Quick Reply", press the "Go Advanced" button and see if it appears.

Thanks a lot! Yeah it just appeared again (thank goodness!). Will keep in mind what you said.

Virtually every host has periodical outages - where you cant upload or download

Pays to have a 2nd or 3rd option because you cant never really guess how long it will last
or know what caused it

General - news is sometimes where you'll find the most recent outage mentioned

In Bugs - this is where i head
https://pimpandhost.com/forum/f2-bugs.html

Pimp has its own forum which in my experience is a useful starting place

Alternate hosts by Deezer - currently 8 + pimp reviewed

In my experience opening a few accounts and using them occasionally
is good for those times PIMP is MIA for longer

it seems that PiXhost has just stopped working, right in the middle of one of my uploads - and the posts that use it don't show images. So I turned to Imagebox for the first time in a long time...

that was fast, PiXhost has already reappeared...

When I use Opera (with XP and kaspersky), and go to a thread with thumbs to photos on pixxhost in the posts, I'm not allowed to go the website as I get a red warning page. When I use firefox (with XP and kaspersky), that problem stops.

But now I have a different problem: In many of the most recent posts in photo threads, I'm not seeing any thumbs, just whatever words the poster has written.

Could firefox 52 now be having problems with pixxhost?

Any help would be appreciated.

If anyone posts any info and I don't reply, it's likely that I've forgotten about this post, so please PM me.


Edit: I've just been to a thread with some animated gives on pixhost and I could see the thumbs and go to the host ssite and see the full gifs, so the 2nd problem doesn't seem to be with pixhost and kaspersky with xp.

Opera is apparently labelling pixhost as malicious, also happens to me - though I can tell it to go there anyway and then I see the pics.

Subscribing to a thread is a good way of not forgetting

Its safe to assume that the older out of date OSs like XP & Vista
will be dropped by developers at some point when its too much work for very little gain.


Firefox ESR 52.9.0 EOL: Drop dead date is going to end on 28 August 2018

The other browser mentioned on several sites that might still support XP is

Maxthon / Mathon Nitro - maybe worth a try

I'd experiment with a few proxys just to make sure its not an ISP regional issue

Its probably safe to assume that download managers still work with current hosts
even for older outdated OSs

Personally when I was faced with XPs demise I went to refurbished hard drives for desktops
to stay protected / up to date - its a fraction of the cost of a new PC
because they dont come with a disc.

After a bit of a search i found one providing old PCs that business no longer wanted for
AUS$99-now $130 dollars with specs - dual core-i3/5/7 CPUs , 4-8GB of memory , business graphics
6 months warranty

I am getting this message each time I click a link to view an image; anyone else experiencing this?

as per above, another xp browser
https://github.com/Feodor2/Mypal/releases
based on palemoon (so palemoon plugins will work, many firefox (pre version 52) plugins too), i don't have objections.
