Well, if they (Russian Pixdaus) can't play with the big boys, they need to step aside and let the Yanks take over. You know them...the bigger the better. Then, my uploads won't always be a black void - the site will be able to take BIGGER and BETTER pictures and LOTS of them ;-)
What this 'ghost' login name could be, is an overload on pixdaus's website.
Pixdaus has gotten very popular, very fast. There may be such heavy traffic at certain times, to cause something like "cross talk" on telephone receivers. You can hear another conversation on another line. We may be pushing their bandwidth to the breaking point.
