It's in the thumbnail options at the bottom (180 x 180)

ImageVenue is the other "big" host that is used by many.

I used to use imagevenue ,but since they keep losing some images
( esp when they were hacked )
I have now went over to image bam for all new images and re-hosted ones when image venue
loses some more - image bam is very good and easy to upload
they also have a function where you can click in the gallery images you need
to re-post on a different thread on the forum - which is a real time saver
( they give you a code for copy and pasting )
really annoying when original images are not recoverable as I sold some magazines thru ebay
and they are rare

This may or may not be related but does anyone know why there is such a huge problem with VEF (or presumably vB) and thumbnails110.imagebam.com communicating?

Nine times out of ten, the page hangs if this address is involved. There's no issue with any of the other imagebam addresses (109, 111 and 112 being the other prevalant ones).

The same issue arises on PS but not fritchy (which might be on a different server nowadays).

Accepted I don't have the fastest connection in the world, but it does enable sight of what part of the process causes the hold up.

For ref: XP SP3, FF31+NoScript+Adblock+

Any sensible input welcomed.

Regards

The built in Image Uploader is glitchy. Uploads maybe 20% of images.

I should use Imagebam instead?

Today I find google's "safe browsing" is helpfully blocking all pimp & host images. One can of course override that, but I found their reasoning somewhat interesting:

Quote:

Of the 163 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2014-09-14, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.

Quote:

Over the past 90 days, pimpandhost.com/image did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Quote:

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

That message was "updated" ~8 hours ago.

So they're blocking p&h because p&h has been found to be clean for the last 90 days?

Plenty of problems today trying to download images from Pimp & Host. Even using Imagine Grabber they are downloading very slowly, so slowly in fact I've given up trying.

Watch out Imagebam appears to be infected. There is some chat on forums that it may adverts on the page and this could stack up as some photos open ok and other divert you. AVG is picking a Trojan attempting access and sometimes an exploit file.

Be warned

As most advertisements on adult sites (forums, image hosts, and more) are 3rd party ads, and around half of them come with malicious scripts.
Sometimes your antivirus stop them, sometimes they're completely avoided by installing adblock on whatever browser you're using.
Another option is the HOSTS file (I think it's been discussed around this forum, search around, if it's not here then fire up your favorite search engine and you'll find it).

What I mean with all of this, is that the "be warned" warning should not pop-up only when your antivirus pops up with it; trojans and browser hihackers on those sites are active most of the time and you won't even notice.
