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

I got the same problem on 2 directories

 

Replace your code with

http://open.thumbshots.org/image.pxf?url=

It works a treat and is free to use and fast loading. See it in action on our sites in our signature links.

Fix and discussion has already taken place in this thread : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=582006


Why do duplicate threads pop up all the time ?

Remember to abide by thumbshots tos, which swedal is not doing on his directory. Most seem to not know their tos , well here is the link provided by Creed : http://www.thumbshots.org/attribution.aspx

 

Yes, you are required to put their link on the sites you are using thumbshots

 

thanks guys this was very helpful.

 

Because people are so stupid and they don't even know where they are posting and what they are linking to.

Criticism and hassle ate their heads.

 

I am using Forumbase template and made changes in the link within flink.tpl file, but the thumbshots still cant be seen. Any idea if I need to make changes in any other directory? I checked main.tpl, link,tpl even pagerank.tpl but didnt's see link to girafa.com in any of these pages. Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Remember that to be able to use the girafa service, now you have to create an account in girafa.com, wait for the approval and change the code for an unique thumbs generator asociated with your directory..

 

An Australian chap announced this service on the IVS forum back in September
http://picoshot.com/

I'm not sure how good it is or whether there are restrictions on the daily image grabs like girafa. You'll have to check it out for yourself

 

I switched to thumbshots but I really miss the possibility to getting different sizes, or am I missing something?

 

You can configure sizes and some other stuff using this service: http://www.girafa.com/free
