Imgbox and Imagebam

[gaztaylor]

Does anyone else have issues with these hosts not opening up thumbs? I either get constant reloading or the page loads with no pic visible, I have seen it mentioned on other forums and the solution was to use Adblock, but I already have that. Its annoying, Ill open 20 images and only 3 or 4 will show up.

Yes. Especially over the last three days. Both on fixed line and a wireless hotspot.

Imgbox all the time - do not really understand why people use it, it just seems so unreliable.

They are bloody awful, Imageupper isnt much better either, pics load up fine but they have a habit of deleting your links, if you look in your account, they are still uploaded but the posted links stop showing thumbs and pics.

IMG Box has been bad for a few weeks.Takes about 30 secs to open the thumbnails.

I thought the caps opening was down to the on going pipe laying in our area, but other sites I have been on are saying the same. Imgbox will only open at certain times and imagebam will only open for me by pressing F5 after the initial mouse click. Problem started weekend of 23/24 November and is still an issue.

Imgbox is a joke at the moment; imagebam is a little slow but generally more reliable than most other hosts.

They have allegedly ordered some more servers, so hopefully things will improve soon.

I've found Imgbox slow for a long time, sometimes it's hard to get it to display a picture. It seems to display adverts very quickly, but pictures are ridiculously slow.
Imagebam has always been a bit erratic; as Jethro says, it sometimes requires F5 to make it show the picture

Hmm - wondered if others having same issues. I stopped using Imgbox as it was slow and I got pissed off waiting to open the cap. I did wonder cause was my upgrade to BT Infinity but obviously not. I did some timings this morning and it took 15 seconds on average to get a Imgbox cap to display. Be great if a reliable host could be found.

I've abandoned using imagebam as every fourth cap seemed to foul up & it has a nasty habit of issuing a message relating to 'your media player needs updating' - which can only be cleared by clicking ok (yeah right), so I was having to cancel my browser session using task manager; went over to imgbox, but it is slow as hell & then logs me out after every second upload

Hello

Has anyone noticed using Imgbox that you find missing caps I found that my Img box account has got hundreds of missing caps, even after uploading new sets of caps this does not refresh the account. It seems there must be a problem with Imgbox including the slowness of the upload even if it`s just 10.
I did have an similar issue with Image Bam but that seems to have sorted itself out.

The fault appears to be that the missing thumbs (caps are still there) appear to be with adult ads.
