Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    I checked it and signing up for a new account doesn't work for me as well.

    I've sent them a mail and keep you up to date.

    Looks like pixhost.to is out now. I might be able to upload pics, but the thumbs don't show up on Phun. Hopefully that's only temporary.

    Fixed within the last 10 minutes for me.

    I was just about to post here about the problems before I saw one of your new posts with the pic actually showing up.

    you know, they need to have a picture header (that actually works) for video file to use as a thumbnail.
    GIFS take a huge amount of space 7-10 MB from my 1.3 MB mp4 file. And everything about it is shit.
    I understood in 1994, when if you wanted a video you had to use GIF, then came SWF, but real .MOV or .AVI took tons of space, so no one ever posted them. (Except as .RAR or .R01-x or .ZIP files.

    Now a .MP4 file that's 3 seconds long is 275K! or up to a meg. Normal image files are way bigger than that. I stop thumbnailing images @ 20MB! 30X more than a video.

    Some genius will come up with something to make it real, then be thwarted by the shit heads at cloudflareup+googly for a gazillion years until they make $$

    phun.imagetwist.com images have been periodically slow to load or timing out for me this morning and early afternoon (U.S. time). Images from other image hosts have not had this problem.

    Anyone else having trouble uploading to pixhost? It uploads one image then stops and won't continue. Even uploading just one image it stops and doesn't provide the thumb link. Hopefully they fix it soon.
