Photo Bucket is messed up too. It just puts me into a continuous log in loop. If I log into with Facebook I can see my pics but if I do anything else it goes back to the log in page. Soo we are not the only site with problems.

Over there it shows that I am trying to load "insecure script????" Tried on my phone and tablet and same thing.

If you are using Bluedevil, or similar addition on your browser disable it. My PB page works fine once I do, though I do have those annoying pop ups that they added. Normally Bluedevil blocks sites with popups.

Photo Bucket is always kind of iffy for me. Sometimes it works well, but most times it's very slow and unpredictable.

That is also my experience with photobucket. I think it has to do with having a "free" account instead of a "paid-for" account. when they have heavy usage, I think the banwidth is given to the paid-for accounts and those of us free-loaders are jammed into the slow lane. That's just my guess. Usually, when I have the photobucket slowness, if I just log-out of the website and do other things...wait an hour, then log back in, it's fine.

I used photobucket a long time . What Jon says could be true , popups , ads . All forms of trash there now . It became unusable for me . I just had the free account .
Transferred all my pictures to..Imjur and been happy with it . Easy to access and use .

That may be what I do too, Boaz. Yes, I'm a free-loader there and find I need to recycle the page often.

Sadly, I have way too many photos to transfer out of photobucket, it'd take forever.
I quit trying to use their photo editing, I have the photo edited as needed when I upload, than all I need it to get the correct link for whatever forum I paste them to. I could delete about half of the photos, so it'd be easier for me to search through them, except it just takes too long to do that...so I leave 'em all.

It's not. I have a paid account and experience the same problems. I have way to many photos linked across forums going back to around 2002. I can't stand old threads w/ dead pics so I'm not switching at this point.

If it wasn't for PB app I wouldn't use them. Their browser interface is horrible. If the app ever tanks I will switch to Flickr. But their app sucks as well. For something so simple no one seems to be able to get it right. I blame the constant need to "improve". Certain things can be left alone.

Photobucket is working very well for me as a free hosting site since I installed a AdBlocker.

If the app is screwed up contact their support team. I had an issue a few months back where I wasn't able to view my folders let alone upload anything. The app would crash when I clicked on any pic. I forget if it was giving me a script or null error. Either way they got back to me in two hours and had it fixed w/in a day. Some issues only effect individual users.

So far I like Imgur. It seems to work a lot better than photo bucket.

What did you do? I see the IMG things are gone. New site will take a little getting used to. Thanks!

They contacted me and showed me a backdoor way around the log in issue. They said they have known about it for awhile and have their techs working on it.
