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

[cuzzyman927]

There are a lot of weird and strange things happening on the forum lately, and I'm sorry to say I've got a feeling that they are not all or entirely image host related.

I just created one using basic upload (dont go near multi or Zip) and it appears
- i disabled ad-block plus as god only knows what easylist is up to thesedays
- left ad-block plus popup addon running

sign in / basic upload / add 20 pics maximum
- have had pics 21-30 disappear into thin air awhile back

use the drop down menus below the uploading of pics section to select

adult , thumbnail size , add gallery / create new gallery

Pimp & Host:
I don't find the small thumbnail option that the banner suggests. However, If I insert an image and choose the alternate editor mode (image rather than text is displayed), then the image appears with white corner boxes that I can drag, and a readout of the image length and width (which should be adjusted to 180x180 or less per VEF rules).

After you click the symbol to "Get Share Code For This Album" you should see this screen...



Once you click on "BB Code" you then get the size options...




Clicking on "Small" will get the 180 x 180 option.

A good thing I noticed last night about the new P&H system is when getting more than one image code from a gallery (as Sam has demonstrated) it does recall what size you copied last time & display the next BB code @ small

This tutorial from malware forum bleeping computer 2007 reads like war & peace but it needs to be given there are umpteen reasons why browsers play up

Slow Computer/browser? Check Here First; It May Not Be Malware

As they say keep everything up to date

Personal software checker

I downloaded the tools that you suggested -- the PSI did not find any issues, however the ADW Cleaner detected and I cleaned out a number of threats/garbage. I really thought that was going to solve my problem, but unfortunately and sorry to report, I am still experiencing those problems I mentioned -- including the irritating flashing "Live Jasmine" site the moment I begin entering the log-in info into the boxes!
I also disabled my Ad Block Plus and other Extensions, which also had no effect in remedying the problem.

The problem seems to come and go sporadically -- I am able to navigate and things run smoothly for short periods, and then all of a sudden navigation will freeze for a bit and being unable to move in any direction, or thread pages will open with blank posts, (and then when leaving the page, when finally able to, then returning the posts will now be there). I've made no changes to my computer/system (that I am aware of) which to have started causing these problems. As I said, I know it sounds silly, but these problems seemed to have started and coincided with the posting of the Someimage message on the log-in page.
I feel as though I am dragging a 200-pound ball and chain trying to navigate and/or perform functions!
Any other thoughts and suggestions from anyone would be greatly welcomed and appreciated!

Sounds like you have a malware infection. Could be the OS, or just your browser. Check your system with something like malwarebytes.

At least I'd try to install a different browser, say palemoon or Opera, and uninstall your current one. Don't try to rescue anything from it, exterminate the beast with anything connected to it!

Thanks Sam & Gladys (posts 1886 & 7 above). Also, for P&H users who choose "Post Reply" or "Quick Reply" and then browse for images, the Album Link screen with thumbnail size choices does not appear, but I now notice that P&H is producing small (180x180 or less) thumbs without any manual intervention from me, regardless of the actual image size. In other words, it is working as it used to work before the recent "upgrade."

At the top of every VEF page I've seen today are two VEF messages:

1 - "Until further notice can members please not use Pimp & Host to post images ..."
and
2 - "Please note that you can now use Pimp & Host to upload your pictures ..."

So which rule do we follow, please?

e.d.

I have removed the first one.

You can use P&H again, but be sure to select small images, that will give you 180 thumbnails.
The second is dismissible.
