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

ImageBam is working fine for me this evening, first time in a while.
On a Toshiba Satellite Pro L450 Laptop with:
Operating system: Windows XP
Browser: Firefox 52.1.2 (32-bit)
Add-ons: None
Country: rural, Colorado USA
ISP: ViaSat, Exede Satellite Internet

Apparently Firefox 52.1.2 (32-bit) is the latest version for XP; I thought that maybe the problem was with my antiquated system but it is working just as good as it ever has now.

Last night I tried opening ImageBam images with my Surface tablet with:
Operating system: Windows RT8.1
Browser: Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.18666 Update Version: 11.0.42
Add-ons: Not Sure
Country: Same
ISP: Same
It worked fine then opening images I wasn’t able to open earlier on the laptop. But as I had shut down the laptop I don't know if ImageBam would have worked on it at that time, when & if it acts up on the XP laptop, again I’ll check on the tablet and post the results.

I have been getting the same message every time I click on an image:

"This site can’t be reached

www.imagebam.com refused to connect."

I can't even access the website itself without getting the same message. Tried proxies and firewalls as suggested online but to no avail.

I live in the United States and am running Google Chrome on an iMac desktop.

Right now ImageBam is working just fine for me (UK, FireFox, Lap Top Windows 10)

Looks to be something very random which is never the same thing

I wonder what odds the imagehost has introduced something to block access to individual servers if demand gets too high?

I just tried opening the ImageBam images above in Sam Spade‘s Post, they would not open with the Laptop, Windows XP, Firefox 52.1.2 (32-bit), in Colorado USA using Exede Satellite Internet. I get the “ Problem loading page”, Ref Posts # #2060 & #2078, but when I tried opening them with the, Surface tablet with: Windows RT8.1, Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.18666 Update Version: 11.0.42 they opened right up, so it must be a issue with the antiquated system I am running, whether it is XP or the older version of Firefox, not sure which or maybe both.
To add to the puzzle, I was able to open ImageBam images last night with my old laptop just fine Ref above post #2083.
I am getting the same results elsewhere on this and other forums right now; won't open with laptop will open with tablet.


I just checked and ImageBam is working on the laptop fine now @ 1:25am, Local MDT (Mountain Daylight-saving Time.

this is going to be the death of a lot of forum websites.

I see the same message on both imagebam & imgbox.

I just went there and noticed it myself, can't even upload anymore.

Don't think of it as the death of ours, but rather a time for a bit of a clean out,
I suggest if you've been using imagebam for any posts here to upload your images again to imagevenue as I just noticed imagbox is also shutting down on 30th June and edit any posts you've done.

All I can suggest at this point, that may change,

If you want the really bad news

same message is appearing on imgbox



I think it would be a big mistake for members to find another host and continue on in the same way which has now seen 3 hosts choose to close down

We saw it recently with some image

Imagebam & imgbox closing 30.6.2017

Theres a reason their closing - they cant make a profit
