I've had to change the hosting site thrice in last 10 hours. I am using IMGSpot now - I hope it will work at last.

Thrice, damn I :bowdown: you. :)

I don't use any, I guess thats why the pic of my dream car wouldn't post. Only time I wanted to post a pic. :(
 
I still seem to have some spare room to host some sigs on my angelfire account, so if anyone wants me to host their sig(s), just PM me.

Well on most of my accounts I have lots of room to host sigs.

Now this what I don't see, anybody who has a animated sig hosted by imageshack, all them have gone. Also all photobucket sigs are very small and if animated blured basly.

:dunno: Please see my earlier posts in this thread.

I think I summed it up earlier, it's not the host sites that the problem lies with. It's the board I think or the server, because we are all getting different problems.

I don't think so. I think;

Imageshack is blocking requests from Freeones IP.

Your sig is hosted at Ripway and it says you've exceeded bandwidth, a different issue. You also have it linked to an imageshack hosted picture.

I've been trying to show the pictures are not gone, access only from here is being blocked.
They are available from outside Freeones which is how I grabbed two or three "missing" sigs and posted them.
If accessed from outside Freeones, they display, are held in RAM, and will show in the thread, until you hit refresh which tries to read them from Imageshack again which fails because Imageshack is blocking requests from Freeones IP.

Imageshack made it clear in their terms that they don't allow porn. I hosted very few pictures there, mostly non porn, so most everything of mine is intact. My sig was hosted there, and is now hosted somewhere else. They probably found it was just easier to block access from Freeones, assumed it's all porn, then to try to find every picture and erase it.

If anyone sees my sig can you post the image please? Thanks in

Can't see yours - or Poggy's for that matter....:(

I've had no problems with Imageshack to date (touch wood), but I know other internet forums have had problems with Imageshack and are advising their members to avoid like the plague. These forums aren't adult-based, but have adult-orientated sections (which is where the problems first arose).

The picture I have hosted at imageshack isn't porn and they never are as they're Lucy Pinder. Also I can't have exceeded my bandwidth at Ripway as this sig is the only one hosted there. Plus over half the sigs I see are hosted at imageshack. This is why it's like I say not the hosting sites but the board. As some sigs I see hosted at say imageshack and others I don't. So how can it be imageshack :confused:

Mine is not porn and got promptly deleted. That's why I think AFA is right. Imageshack isn't going through pic by pic to delete porn, there just deleteing any pic/sig that is requested by Freeones. Just a broad blanket deletion.

Yes, and no. They aren't making a distinction between porn and other. Most everything I posted there, except for maybe a half dozen were non porn.

So far they aren't being deleted, but that's certainly next, and easy to take them out.

Here's Om3ga's from Imageshack. It won't display in his sig, but it's not deleted (yet).
