Ads on imagevenue?

I got a "skip this ad" page on my first pic today.

 

this "skip this ad"-thing is probably the worst ad-"campaign" ever, but also pretty popular these days....

 

imagevenue used to be so awesome. then they added ads, i have to hit refresh on half of the pics because they don't load, and now this.

 

I hate the 'skip ad' thing, a fair few sites use it, very annoying.

 

i know, big let down for imagevenue. who runs it?

 

no idea jamms

 

Maybe these adds or services are collecting privacy data that is for (other) companys to use when bad things are done.

 

Imagevenue was banned on another well known celeb site a few months back because one of their advertisers was planting malware. They are allowed again now but it pays to be careful.

 

wow. that's messed up. i don't think i'll use it anymore.

 

I used to only use imagevenue as it was awesome, the skip the ads thing is really pissing me off now.

thinking about only using imagebam now.

 

Anyone using internet explorer, you can add this site to the "Restricted sites" list [click "Sites..."]. For that list/sites is active x, downloads, scripts,etc not posible (check with clicking on the button (see pic) "Custom Level" to see if no one or anything have change the options for this (Restricted sites), its standard set to "High", must be on high). Your then safe, do as here to add imagevenue <*.imagevenue.com> :


(Internet options, tab security)

 

imagebam is the only way to go.

 

yeah i am displeased with their new advertisement system, we might move to ban them soon cause it is pissing me off.

 

i get it every third picture click. :-?

 

They take forever to download with the junk associated with the pic. I won't use them.

 

the bad these ads are...
honestly - is there an alternative?
is there any known imagehost used around here that at least partially is able to take the load?

as for now: why not using IPLED (check here, bottom) for "offline-pic-browsing"? maybe that also will help to reduce imagevenue-page-clicks and lead the guys over there to reconsider their advertising-strategy?

 

I'm glad this was brought up. Imagevenue has become a major annoyance. I have an old computer that doesnt handle the supersized photos to begin with so, all the ads they've thrown in make them almost intolerable now. How nice it would be if Phun created its own imagehost

 

Another Celeb Site did exactly that when it created Uploadem, and that's gone down the pan. Imageshadow went a few months back, and it's been obvious for a few months now that imagevenue is struggling, it has got very, very slow.
We want it all for free, they have to pay for bandwidth......................

 

Do you use Internet Explorer?
