PhotoBucket PB) problem:

I started PB Acct, last Sept, at Clint’s sage advice, and it’s worked almost fine until last night, when I had to run down the road, as a drunk’s p/u truck drove thru a neighbor’s Farm House. Cop & EMTs were there in minutes. I got all 4 foks, plus 2 cats & 3 dogs, out of the spreading kitchen gas fire, which was quickly outed by firetrucks, EMTs & LEOs.

Slightly burned and sooty, I go back hom, showered/fresh clothes, and all PB pics are gone; decriptors are there for 87 pics, but empty library.

I contacted ‘Help’ but haven’t heard back.

Anyone else also have the glitch were you try to edit/delete etc, and the entire screen goes gray/freezes.

Should I delete the account and start over w/ new name and upload new pics? I can delete all cookies and traces on my browsers, Opera & FF.

Anyone else having this problem with their new PB ‘beta’ site?

Any thought/help would be appreciated. I’ll shovel your next snowfall if you’re with 50 miles... Heh.

Hooboy, I have no idea CH.
Skype mucked up my “confuser” good today and I have no idea what happened.

I would just re upload them.

I though my skype problem was that I was not using the latest version. (I had not used it in like 9 months)

My computer just kept shutting off when I was using skype.

Anywho, I loaded the latest patch and it barfed again.

The confuser works fine when I am not on skype.

Go figure.... *shrug*

I don’t think I’d delete the account. Most likely your photos are still there on their server.

Have you tried just doing some routine maintenance? By that I mean running Advanced System Care, run an antivirus scan, clearing cookies, rebooting, etc.?

PB is history.

Neighbor’s house is okay; workmen back there now. 98% hot smoke; very little fire damage. Confined to one kitchen wall. Hole in wall, from p/u truck, being repaired. Mostly smoke damage from pieces of siding on fire. Lucky for no gas explosion. Truck missed 500g propane tank (tracks in snow) by >20ft.
