Photobucket problems

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Photobucket?
I've not been able to use it for 3 days - it takes forever to load and then if freezes when I try uploading pics

Seems to be working as normal for me...but that's not to say it's not always slow & buggy.

Tried box, dropbox, flickr?
I grabbed one of those free 50Gb box accounts when they were available and it's where I backup my camera phone photos. v handy for sharing via the app too..
just an idea

I tend to use Postimage now as was having laggy problems with photobucket the past few weeks.

Im getting fed up with Photobucket but I've paid for extra storage so want it to work. When it does work its great but recently its letting me down. I will try some of the other free options, thanks

I've always thought how slow PB is, I don't use it to often, so can live with the speed

Try using a different internet browser

PB is working for me on Chrome, but has been slow, lagg'y and strewn with pop-ups for months, to the point where I don't really use it now.

I've tried Safari and IE on different machines, same problems - I did manage to upload a new sig this afternoon, but its back on a go slow now!

When I last attempted to change my signature pic it was more complex than splitting the atom, max pixel counts/resizing nightmares. I had to be rescued by a mod before I set fire to it!

PB is easy to use but as others i find it annoying with freezing out , constant pop ups & just generally playing numb

Been trying out Google photo host the last few weeks which seems easy enough but its early days

Ditto. my g/f and i share a PhotoBucket account but due to its slowness we have recently moved to Amazon Drive. It also means we can easily stream our content via Amazon Fire to our TV's

Its getting to be a pain in the arse for me too, takes ages.

Gave up using "Botophucket" when the forum got upgraded last year - now I just upload photos straight from my hard-drive.

Happy days - much quicker and easier.
