PimpAndHost Issues & Discussion

[sharp09]

it seems my pictures posted as original size are appearing as small and if you click on them they don't get any bigger, it might be just a temporary thing!

Example -

http://veterperementour.ru/showpost.p...3&postcount=87

Any help would be great!

Almost all previews in my posts became small. Hope this is temporary issue.

I checked my threads and I have the same problem with some of my posts but is a bit different. I have the small previews however when you click in the previews you can obtain the original size

Same has been happening to some of mine, glad to hear from simon that this is an issue that will be eventually resolved.

same here, been trying to figure it out for a while now but as many others seem to have the problem doesnt seem to mean i can fix it myself, just have to wait and see what happens i guess

I can understand on some of the bigger ones Simon,
but my sig is like 40kb.

But I appreciate the bigger servers coming.
It was getting to the point that on the weekends,
actually getting a pic to load was an adventure.

Pimpandhost team are working to fix the problem. Probably i´ts going to take around 2 weeks, that was I read in their forum. Greetings.

I don't quite understand: is this a Planet Suzy issue or a Pimpandhost issue?

Or is it perhaps a coincidence that both are experiencing problems?

Cripes, how many times a year does PS need to get new servers.

That's not a criticism I hasten to add, I just seem to have read it several times this year.

Maybe a cunning plan - burn up as many servers as possible and create a shortage for any other aspiring forums

Personally I am quite content with clickable thumbs, preferably on imagevenue or imagebam, speaking solely for myself; then if I want to see something I can open it up.
If it's of no interest, I can leave it.

PS does seem to inflict an unnecessarily massive bandwidth cost on itself by allowing the massive embedded previews at all.
It does not entice me to d/load something just because of that huge preview facility, and I doubt many others d/load just due to a huge embedded preview either.

100% clickable thumbs would suit just fine, whilst saving the bunch of currently wasted b/width money - and maybe accordingly a few less of those wretched file hosts adverts could thus be avoided - currently just it's a vicious circle ............
