Sorry, but I don't have your problems with Imagevenue.
The 5 sec delay is only the first time I open a pic from IV. And even this can be prevented by opening the same pic in a new tab and closing the first tab.
Moreover I never had a problem with pop-ups at IV. I didn't even know about this. You should use firefox with suited add-ons (pop-up blocker like Adblock Plus, Flashblock, Java Script Options, NoScript) and you will never see any pop-ups from IV or others. So I see nor reason to ban IV.
Just my 2 cents.

If there's any problem, and I agree that it's a pain in the ass, what is the advantage to Imagevenue that makes up for the downside when this works so well?


A couple of things come to mind right away. First, I like to post alot of extra screen shots and I like for them to look nice and tidy with all of the thumbnails together, like this example:
screenshotscreenshotscreenshot
screenshotscreenshotscreenshot
screenshot

I don't like the "mess" all those separate pics would make in a single post...and no matter what is written, attached pics go to the bottom of the post, not my preference. Sad

Also, I can upload many pics at the same time and IF I choose to share my same links with another board, I can copy and paste the same info, saving me precious time.
If an entire thread was lost (I understand that has happened to quite a few unfortunate members here in the past) it will be easier to recreate if all the original information is saved beforehand in a text or word document as all the original pics won't have to uploaded again.

I've used IV to host pics for well over a year and they're all still there.
Sorry to those users who have a problem with IV, I kinda like it.
