I whole heartedly back this suggestion.

Sometimes my fingers act like they have a mind of their own and tend to type whatever the devil they want. Is there a spell checker I can enable? My backspace and delete keys are getting worn down to nubs.

I don't drink. I'll be happy to get a free Dr Pepper every time i log in though.

For which we're eternally grateful

THe X ham had an infection rate of 45% during the last serious malvertising outbreak

The worst part is those males and their model/pornstar 1 handed appreciation videos
which appear by default...



The previous issue of large threads and duplication

Posters using useful titles could easily cut search times

Its the 2 alternative ways to view VEF - hybrid & threaded - that is so little used
so the importance of a title versus say text is overlooked

No title and the hybrid & threaded views which could save time searching
are useless

Easier said than done given the hosts are outside VEFs control

Infact the best thing to bypass a lot of issues are:


1. remain patient and become aware of current known events
- most hosts periodically have server load issues which cause short term outages
Its just the price we're paying for HD pic sets i suspect

2. If manual download fails to load try:

a. use a download manager
b. use a proxy service like anonymouse
- if your blocked (pimpandhost currently banned in at least 5 countries)
c. use a different browser - sometimes extensions can cause conflicts

3. If sites are becoming an ordeal to get to the pics

a. use a ad-blocker
b. use a script blocker

Browsers and which add-ons to use to repel annoying pests

If I can ask a constructive question please on improvement please?
I think VEF is the best site and like being part of it.
Unfortunately in my earlier days on the forum, I made the mistake of placing a picture in the model ID thread to ask if anyone could ID her.
Later on the same day I placed the same great model to share with others in the stockings thread , and made the mistake of asking if anyone knew her name with the comments.
As a result within 30mins I received an e mail because of the second post I am no longer allowed to upload any photos etc which look as if this is for ever. ( it seemed a rather harsh judgement for a mistake.)
My point is , yes I unitentionally made this error, so accept the time for the crime.
However, I can no longer share any images etc with other members so the others lose extra contributions. why cant the penalty be lifted after say 3 or 6 months for example so that we can contine to add contributions of images please?
I have since read the rules in fear of making the slightest unintentional mistake and thus being banned.
Hope someone will consider this as a point to improve and contribute to such a great forum. Thanks

Well, since you are a member since 2010, your "earlier days" on the forum probably still fell to the time when VEF had its own image suppository. It does not any more.

So, "uploading a pic to VEF" is something we don't do anymore anyway. (Yes, the forum software still offers an upload feature, but that just uploads it to pimp-and-host, an imagehost which is not exactly universally acclaimed.) As a consequence, I doubt the punishment "you cannot upload pics any more" is still part of the repertoire of mod-action as this is probably not automatically enforceable by the software tools they have available (please contradict me if I'm talking out of my arse here).

Instead, you upload to an (approved) imagehost and post the icon links here.

Mmmm I see, it seems my lack of technical skill on this has missled me to think "I cant add an attachement" which it says in my posting rules?
I, ll have to read up how to use an imagehost to share images then.
thank you
