Hi
I've just noticed that a threads (like sffan4e's) which have a lot of links to images on ImageBam now have lost the links, so to speak. At least there's now just a silly logo on all those sexy images, which just says: "Hot links not permitted to ImageBam".
Very annoying

Really? That is very annoying. I have a few stories that are really enhanced by the linked images on ImageBam. I wonder if this is something with our board or with ImageBam?Quote:

I noticed it too a while back, but did not have the energy to go after it.
And even longer ago I noticed the loss of images of Best Nurse Position. In that case inreceived the explanation that they lost a server and that they were trying to recover content, but apperently some were lost forever.
Imagebam does not appear to be too reliable.
Does anyone know an alternative? Before Imagebam I used my Google drive. Unaware that they did not allow adult content I had to remove them.
Would posting the URL of the imagebam picture instead of linking it be a way around the hotlinking issue?Quote:
