Pimp and Host

[cut93550]

I GOTTA BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

I am averaging 5 errors per post uploading pics/previews. My last 5 posts took 45 minutes with P&H I just can't believe it takes so long to upload 1 pic.

Right know I'm not even getting a "Browse" button. Does it help to have a P&H account?

I just can't for the life of me figure out how to get pics/previews uploaded quicker. I am finding I am attaching less pics/previews not to mention posting less all because of this "add-on" "Our uploaded supports multiple pics" thats a joke I don't even attempt that with all the errors.

I have always been a contributor but if the interface is not user friendly I just cant see a reason to stick around.

Your thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks
Chris

It sounds like they're having some gremlins today, that's just not normal!

My advice would be to wait 24 hours and try again.

I've been getting the same situation for a month.

First 5 pictures are uploaded successfully,
but from the 6th picture, it always gets error.

It usually takes over 30 mins to upload only 10 preview pictures
but I like P&H because of the image gallery and the resize variation.
I know it's a waste of time but I don't give it up,
while waiting for their future improvement.

Surely, they're not user-friendly now.

I think it works better if you have an account, it's totally free and easy to get going, and you can stick different things in different folders - plus you have the option of making some folders private if you wish.

It does have problems occasionally - don't all hosts - but I find it the best and most versatile pic host usually.

cut93550 and frota I wish I could say its always easier when you do have an account but its simply not true, having an account does give you more options, it is totally free, has virtually unlimited storage space but you still get the gremlins. An alternate could be your MF accounts for when the gremlins are really bad. While not as simple to use as the browse button it is available and free.

I know they all have gremlins, after all you get what you pay for. It's just a little disconserting that as recent as a couple months ago you could hit the browse button click on 20-30 pics and boom there they are. I don't dare do that anymore. You gotta babysit each pic. I think we just get spoiled. I'm using the forum's attachment manager for now smaller pics and a 5 pic limit but really fast.
