It seems that uploading to Imageshack do not work anymore.
Result is 404 (Web page not found).

Maybe the server needed to take a doughnut break when you tried.

I just fed it the above and it seems happy now.

Is there even change to use wrong ones with ezUpload?

Yes, it is imageshack.us

Ah, I uploaded directly.

I had never used ezUpload, but when I did try now, I got the error you reported. So I expect the problem is with ezUpload, not imageshack.

Thank you for clearing that up. So it is ezUpload then.

Version is 1.0.0.4 [Unicode]. I was ready to take an video what happen, but now uploading to Imageshack works again :shock:

It works fine for me as well, so I don't think it's ezUpload's fault. ImageShack has been behaving somewhat erratically recently - even when logged in manually. Usually in relation to adding new images... either it hangs, or refreshes improperly - I rather accidentally uploaded numerous copies of the same thing last week, as I never got proper notification on the original.

As ezUpload "waits" on ImageShack to display the link, that's where it's timing out as IS doesn't come back properly. And, as it uses the public server by default, all those "attempts" to test it are in effect spamming IS with photos that will never be seen.

In fact, other "auto-upload" utilities are encountering the same thing. At least those that access private accounts can be repaired manually (deleting excess copies) - which is why I never use Public.
