Is anyone else having trouble with Photobucket
Posted by PANZERWAFFE on Sunday, November 18, 2012 8:12 AM

Logged into photobucket this weekend and to my disappointment find that it is not working for me Angry  Can log in and it brings me to my account but there are no pictures there or anything?  The little wheel of death keeps spinning and says I'm not connected?  Have tried to contact photobucket with no success of hearing anything back from them so now I ask all of you.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know whats going on?  How do I fix it and get my pictures back and continue to post my pictures?

Thanks for any help Yes

I have the same problem...posted it last night in the Birthday thread,  some recommend clicking revert to old photobucket in the top right corner ( small letters).  That hasnt worked for me either, I know a few others it also hasnt worked for.

I use Mozilla Firefox for a browser.  I logged in yesterday and while the site seemed a little slower than usual, it worked and the pictures were okay.

I'm having same problems.  My pix are gone, but I don't t the "not connected" message.  I use Internet

Exploder 9 and it works fine for everthing else.

What other photohosting sites do you guys know of?  Looks like it's time for a change.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

Hey guys, thanks a bunch for all the input YesBeer

I switched to "google chrome" and everything works great now.  In fact, everything is faster and easier to use, photobucket is working great.

Thanks again

To bring your 'Favorites" through to the Chrome Google:

1. Go to top right of page (looks like a page set up, has 3 lines)

2. Click on it. It will show a drop down menu.

3.  Click on 'Bookmark' fourth choice down.

4. Click on 'Import bookmarks & settings', then just follow instructions.

hope this helps.

After you have your favorites imported look to the top left corner of page and "IMPORTED FROM IE" that will be your favorites.  I right clicked and renamed it to favorites.

Photobucket is not working for me either.

How do you get pics to post from Flikr?  I can't seem to find the right URL's to use.

Thanks.

I don't know anything about Fliker, never used it?  Sure someone here will know?

Good luck, hope you get things sorted out soon......................

Yup, thanks.  Ripcord had a suggestion I will try.  Photobucket seems to be back this morning.
