Photobucket problems

Post by buzyg » Sun Jan 08, 2017 11:21 pm

Just tried it now. No issues from here. :)

We did have three evenings of Hell on the internet, earlier this weeks, started around 7:30 untill 10:00 each evening. Put it down to BT infinity doing maintenance or something, but realy no idea why in the end. Has been fine since Friday though. :D

Hope you get you issues sorted soon. It can be a proper b#ll ace sometimes.

It nearly worked. The only issue is that your car is coming up as far too shiny! :P

I'd say forum members are more than welcome to use my hosting - upload.Blocked.com

you can create accounts etc and manage your images there no issues.

I and my website users have been using it for a couple of years now.

I've also been experiencing issues with Photobucket for a while but the problems with freezing seem to be getting much worse, perhaps I also need to try some alternatives.

Edit
Thought I'd try postimage as mentioned, certainly easier to upload photos and hopefully this image loads here.

Update:
Photobucket is now working for me, but that was the longest period of failure - about 4 days during which it was virtually unusable. I'm going to stick to my guns and use postimage for new uploads.
Photobucket is now on probation. I've logged a support call but don't hold out much hope of getting an answer to my downtime.
