I'm not sure how it can be "disabled". The image size is part of the URL.

For example, to get a random photo that is 640 x 480, you would use: https://placeimg.com/640/480/any.
Then to get another random photo that is 240 x 180, you would use: https://placeimg.com/240/180/any.

If that doesn't clear it up, please show your code or make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

I know this is an old post but I'd just like to elaborate on the issue. When you use the website and click within the box to type in the dimensions it disables after the first number typed. Sure you can manually type in the dimensions into the url without using the generator but I believe this is what the OP was referring to. It's been over a year now and browsers change but I was only able to reproduce this behavior on Safari.
