Heads up on http://msnsearch.srv.girafa.com/

"Girafa is not down and is still providing thumbnails.
If you were using someone else's thumbnails account - then that account probably changed, which means that you can no longer get thumbnails from that account.

But you can easily get thumbnails from Girafa. Girafa offers a free and paid service. You can sign up for for the free account on their site (at girafa.com/free/ )and get thumbnails again."

Hope that solves your issues // Meti

 

I alway use adbrite thumbnail for all my directory.. I think its more better than girafa thumbnail because i see Adbrite update their thumbnail more often..

The url is

http://files.adbrite.com/httpads/alexa_thumbnail.php?url=[COLOR="Blue"]http://url.com[/COLOR]

Code (markup):

 

Your thumbnails aren't working on your Elite directory. I hope that isn't Adbrite.

 

hu..That girafa thumnail..Thanks for alert for me..

-Fixed-

 

The one you introduced us to http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url= is the best one to use from these.

It is free and fast loading. Already set this up now.

Thanks paidhosting

 

Ive altered this on one of mine, and its working for my Site of the day, and on details pages but not the rest.

Ive edited the details.tpl, and SOTD.tpl, i bet im forgetting something obvious.

 

You also need to edit link.tpl, it will change the thumbnails in the category sites listing.

 

I finally found it, i checked both main.tpl and link.tpl and there was nothing to change in there.

Then i came accross pagerank.tpl and it was in that file that i needed to edit.

All sorted, thanks

 

im innocent guvnor, i didn't know it was there, ive never seen it before honest

 

Noobs theses days , baaaah

 

Hehe my only excuse.

 

Np, it was not too much editing inloved and no secret so i let it out , but if it was top secret i would have to kill u than

@pipes change ur name to excuser oh wait shawn doesn't allow name changes (nowthats another excuse right there for u)

 

same problem here

Apply that or change the provider

Thanks so much! I used this on both my sites and it works. I got tired of waiting for msn.

 

I just installed the http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url={$link.URL} and it's working good.

 

I do hope that all of you whom are so eager to use this service are abiding by the TOS and providing the proper attribution.

Exactly the reason I didn't use that service. Does anyone know if Adbrite needs anything similar. I couldn't find anything on their site about thumb shots let alone a licensing issue but the service is good and surprisingly FAST?

Thanks
