Have you been experiencing their website very slow to load in recent weeks? Pics take forever to show up, and many don't at all.
Are they having difficulty supporting their growth, the amount of pics that people upload on their site?


Q

I've used postimage exclusively, since ditching Photo Bucket, but I pretty much only use PI for hosting photos on this forum.

I haven't been on the forum much for the last few weeks, but when I posted a photo in a thread a couple days ago, from my phone, it took maybe a few extra seconds but uploaded just fine.

Over the Summer I did run into multiple incidents in which photos would hang up and failed to upload and I'd have to reattempt uploads multiple times, but I get really poor Cell Data service signal at home, and I assumed that was the cause...but maybe not.

In my case though, with frequent poor and variable signal strength, I've only uploaded one photo at a time, never tried multiple uploads.

Q, I have noticed that their site is often slow. Many times my images are inaccessible. When the images are inaccessible, they also don’t show up on the forum.

I think you are correct. Too many free hosted images and their servers are out of bandwidth. Because of the free hosting, there isn’t as much money for upgrading, as say Flickr.

Been slow for at least a week. Last weekend, it wouldn’t let me upload any photos and about half of my existing photos were inaccessible.

I had the same experiences. I had some things for sale, put in an album and the prospective customer couldn't open it. I lost so much when Fototime disappeared and now this, wonder if a premium plan would be better?

Just tested. Loaded quickly, but the landing page showed this instead of pictures.:

That said, I was able to upload the above screenshot to postimage, so functionality is not completely gone.

Definitely something odd going on there.

Q - I used it this morning to upload the lunar eclipse photos I just posted in another thread here. No problems uploading or transferring but my account only has 35 pictures in it so this may be why….

Yes, I have noticed this as well. I posted pics in the guitar thread, and it was very slow getting the "hotlink for forums", literally taking maybe 10 seconds.

Yes, I've noticed too. Took me 3 or 4 tries the other day to get the pic to load.

Sometimes it's fine, but half the time slow as hell.

I couldn't get a picture posted yesterday in the Fun Pics thread so I tried again just now and it worked. I guess it was just a temporary glitch.

My only trouble with the site is when I copy the image link I get two pics instead of just one.

Yes, today has been fine. It was the last couple of days where they had some issues.
