Has anybody tried uploading to PhotoBucket recently? For the past few days I have tried but the site is not only molasses sloooooooooow but difficult to navigate. I haven't had this problem in the past. Hopefully they will soon fix it because right now it is FRUSTRATING!!!
Nope, just tried it and it was the same as usual. Not particularly slow.
Are you logged in?.............................
Yup! And for the past few minutes it is STILL trying to complete an upload. Oh, and I tried it several times earlier but no go.
The Russians must have hacked your computer.
You have to flush your network cable.
Clear your cache/history and restart your computer.
It has always been terrible, just the best of a bunch of bad options. Their idea of a user interface is a joke, and no, I don’t want to buy some sh!tty rendering of my pic printed on whaleskin or anything.
This sounds series
Sounds like your ISP is the problem, not the site....................
I’ll see about testing when I get home.
Not only slow, I have to re-sign-in everytime I go, even after ‘remember me’ box is checked.
Yeah, that's another BIG problem for me too.
A decade or so ago, I would take screencaps of live events and post via Photobucket for FR. I could capture, upload and post in about 20 seconds.
Over time, the Photobucket interface became more and more difficult to use.
I seldom upload pix to it for posting on FR. It is too much of a hassle. But, I don’t take that many screencaps, since they are more readily available on news websites.
I’ve noticed it slows down sometimes, now they have pop ups that cause problems and they often open extra web pages which slow down my computer. Clean off those extra pages and I still have pop ups.
My photobucket account expired like 3 or 4 years ago and I don’t miss it.
A comment from another FReeper earlier today reminded me that I have almost no internet presence anymore. No Myspace (yes), no Facebook, no Photobucket, just FR and a couple other forums...and Tumblr where you can remain anonymous.
Some day I may even quit the net completely.
It’s been slow for me for several years, despite getting a new computer. Lately, though, it sometimes seems a lot faster. A mystery.
It's the prefered upload site for images used on reddit..
It's FAST and they never take the images down.
I just uploaded the image below at sli.mg
Another good image site is http://www.freeimagehosting.net/upl.php
Thanx. I just registered at first site you listed. MUCH FASTER!!!
