Have free Directory thumb images gone?

I noticed that my thumb images on www.seowebdirectory.co.uk are not working, has free thumb images gone?

What do you guys use for thumb images on your directory?

Thanks Brian

 

HAve u try to edit your MODs?

 

I think you will find they are back up

 

I make my own. Several years ago when Alexa started charging for their service, I saw that as a wake-up call. Relying on someone else to provide images for my site was a risky proposition.

Granted with two niche directories, I have less submissions than owners of general directories. But, I feel the extra time is well spent in knowing that I am not at the mercy of whether or not another site is 1. up and working, 2. remains free and 3. continues to provide thumbnails.

 

I guess any trouble in thumbshot server.
I use a small piece thumbshot images sometimes it appear and when i refresh it gone.

Then, I change thumbshot using websnapr service.

 

that not big problem...

just go to thumbshot.org

after that put thumbshot link at your footer,

 

Mine did last night, i had a 10min panick then they were back across each of my directories after that short time.

 

i use http://www.thumbshots.org/ and they are fine

 

Yeah, back up now

Thanks Brian

 

Not sure, don’t think so.

Thanks Brian

 

Try this link for the screenshot processor mikey referred to http://www.phplinkdirectory.com/articlescript/Screenshot_Processor_Released.php

 

I always try to stay away from the services used by the majority to avoid such problems.

 

Thanks, I will check this out.

Thanks Brian

 

shrinktheweb.com works fine too

 

I'm using thumb image on my directory. See here.... http://www.borolook.com/subdir.asp?maindir=Business&subdir=Business+Blogs

I don't have faced any problem.

 

Yeah, most services like this go down and start having problems once they become popular. That is because they run these services more like a hobby and less like a true business.

You've got to search out the few who invest in their infrastructure and plan for growth in order to avoid those kinds of growing pains. Some growing pains are to be expected but downtime is unacceptable. I've seen similar services go offline for days, weeks, and even months (in one case) at a time. It's amazing they have any users left.

As another member mentioned, you may want to try out http://www.shrinktheweb.com and see how flexible and full-featured it is. Enjoying a 100% uptime for over a year since the beginning -even through a tornado that destroyed our secondary data center. Users didn't even know.

 

Here's a free web thumbnail service that may be able to help you http://webthumb.web-backlinks.com/

 

I use shrinktheweb.com mostly .

 

I use shrinktheweb as well and haven't had any issues.

You could also try:
websnapr.com
thumbnailspro.com
thumbalizr.com
webshotspro.com
