I haven't been able to get PIP to load pictures since yesterday evening. It opens properly, lets me select a photo, but then once I hit the "post" button, it takes over 30 seconds before a message pops up saying my connection has timed out. I reloaded PIP but I still get the same problem. I haven't changed any settings on my computer, there have been no recent automatic updates from Microsoft, and PIP has always worked just fine. Anyone else?

Looks like the server is having issues... It's not the program.
The hosting is fine... the FTP server process may need to be restarted...

I wasn't able to use it just now. Question: Does it make a difference if I use PIP to re-post the same pic multiple times in different threads or should I do a copy and paste from my first posting of that pic? Jonathan

Haven't been able to upload anythin over the last couple days. Sent Cliff a PM about it.

Don't upload the same image numerous times (if that's what you're asking). Just use the same link as you did the first time you posted the image.

Thanks Patrick for the link to the other thread in TO/T... I don't usually waste any time in that part of the forum.
For what it's worth, it's still not working. Must be pretty serious if after a couple days Cliff hasn't figured out how to get it back on line.

Same here, think Cliff is still working on resolving.

And it's crapped out again for me too. Except now I get this error message within about 5 seconds of trying to upload an image: "Unknown Error! (12003- FTPUPLOADFILE:FtpOpenFil" At least it's better than having to wait 30 seconds locked out of my computer which is what used to happen with the "timed-out" fault.

I'm having issues as well, it keeps timing out. I've never had a problem before. -Jason

Maybe PIP is not fixed. I posted up some images that now appear broken. Bob

I tried to post a 659 x 440 ~.PNG picture using PIP & got: Run time error '481': invalid picture. Are there any alternatives?

It is working today but I have not had any trouble since I upgraded to V 1.09.
