  2. Our gif only content threads have a rule where all thumbs must be posted as a static thumbnail that does not play. Currently imagebam made a change where they no longer produce static thumbs. Therefore, please do not use imagebam, or any host, that provides live playing gifs in those specific threads. If you see your gif playing once you post, try to use a smaller thumbnail and if that does not work use a different approved host.

    I don;t want to cry wolf or anything, but for the second time in as many days I click on a link to an image hosted by imagebam and my virus protector pops up and tells me there is like 5 trojans and some sort of virus, that it found them from the site and got rid of them.

    Just throwing it out there... anyone else having issues? It seems like when you hit the "continue to image" is when it tries to launch.

    Thanks.

    Might be something, and even if it's not, no harm done. :)

    Not getting anything here, I'm using AVG 2013. However I have ads and stuff blocked so maybe it's in there.

    It's usually going to be some kind of false-positive or sound more menacing than it really is. That's kind of the nature of AV detection. And, yes, it's usually something to do with the ads. If it becomes a problem, you could always block ads on imagebam.
