is thumbsnap still suitable ?

[PixelpeepZ4]

not sure if i've just never noticed it before but when i click on an image now which has been uploaded to PH via thumbsnap, it takes you to their site for a full res version of the image, but where it shows you thumbs of other images (on that same page) it's pretty much full of scantily clad females in underwear, posing etc.

Now, for transparency, this isn't an issue for me () however - i always felt PH was quite family originated, is this appropriate still?

When you're posting, you have the option 'Upload an image (beta)'

this forum embedded feature links out to thumbsnap - to me that is kind of an endorsement from PH that TS is the chosen partner for image hosting.

i assume the majority of image uploads are via this method, and therefore, anyone clicking on an image in a post will see these provocative images also?

Are the provocative images not based on one's browsing history?

(Asking for a friend).

haha, no, it's not 'you may also like...' it's just latest images uploaded (with scripts running to keep the revenue ones near the front i would imagine...)

It's ste.

The other images are just one of the issues with using a seriously poor solution, which has issues with larger images, can only upload one at a time, ends up with people making a mess of the BB code, etc.

Sort it out!

This has been flagged up to PH gurus

thank you - and just to say, personally, i am not offended by it, but i'm a guy with no kids and a private home office - others might not be as lucky.

What RacingPete has described is the immediate fix because this is clearly not acceptable. We are then looking at a better long-term solution.

Wow.. 'urgent attention' what do i win for flagging it as an issue?

SURELY someone can lift my NP&E ban now? it's been years, i'm a different person, i've shown i'm responsible....PPPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEEEE!!

in a weird plot twist i have just searched for the tag "pistonheads" on thumbsnap and got the following response.

"Warning: The search you have initiated may result in finding objectionable content as defined by our Terms of Service and has been blocked"

A retrograde step that completely ruins PH's Photography & Video section - what's the point of submitting stunning images if they can't be seen properly?

Please restore the enlarge feature.

surely as someone who is fairly into their photography, you'll have image hosting options? seems a bit short sighted to rely on a beta feature of a forum to display them in all their glory.

i get why it needed to be done on previous posts, but there should be a new service for the forum that allows full functionality going forward.

i guess they're working on it behind the scenes.

like the release of my ban from NP&L hopefully.. i mean come on.. it's been like 5 years! - you've had new owners since!

Only time will tell. Experience shows time is measured in years not weeks!

maybe it's like dog years?

There's no real update other than what I gave in the other thread. We're working on a solution with them.

thanks for the update anyway Matt, it's better to hear no progress but you're still working on it, than to assume no one is still looking at it.
