Modlbldr Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 What has Photobucket done to their site now? I can't upload photos to it from my phone anymore. It comes up with the screen to click on the checkmark to upload photos but I can't seem to click on it. I sure wish sites wouldn't put out updates that don't seem to work. Is anyone else having problems or is it just me? How have you gotten it to work? What was wrong with the way it was? Why do I sound so much like my FATHER right now?

Big Daddy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I know I have been trying for days to download photos from there to here with no luck, don't know if it's photobucket or here where the problem is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Reading through the ratings on ON it would seem we are not the only ones w/ issues. Now I have to find a new site to be able to load photos from. Anyone use anything else that they could give some advice? I have some kit bodies that I would like to trade but can't without uploading photos. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I haven't had a problem with Photobucket and been using it all week. Maybe you should try using your PC or laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I use Photobucket all the time. No problems here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have Fotki and have always liked their site and interfaces. They did have some issues this past year. They moved their operations to Estonia and there were periods where there were a lot of missing files. It seems we are past that now. You can get a free page there, but I've always had a paid account. There's a bunch of savings when you sign up for multiple years. Every so often they have a sale, and that's a good time to re-up.

Big Daddy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 For me it wasn't photobucket it was IE 11 once I went to compatability settings and added this site it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Try deleting and then reloading the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Smith Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The new app works...sometimes. I have to "copy" the image link multiple times to post a pic. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have had issues with the earlier iPhone app as well - lots of error messages and multiple image downloads after it said it didn't work.

Rick Schmidt Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 no issue here with photobucket Matter of a Fact I just not 5 minutes ago took pics and uploaded them to PB from my phone and then got here on my puter and posted them to this board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toner283 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I quit using the photobucket app and started using the photobucket mobile site instead. Seems to work a lot better. The photobucket app seems to be nothing but problems. if you log onto photobucket on your mobile browser and go right to the bottom of the screen there should be a link that says photobucket mobile. click on that and it gets rid of all of the ads and stuff that slow down the site loading.

Modlbldr Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I can't even find Photobucket in the apps store anymore. All I can find is PB mobile and Snapbucket. Standard Photobucket isn't even on the list. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick GMC Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Imgur.com is what I have been using for the past year. It's extremely simple. There is a one click option to resize photos as you upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I've been using FireFox for a couple of years. I'm obviously not the only one since reading the app ratings. I found a little way around it for now but it is a pain. If I go directly to PB.com I can upload one photo at a time but have to go in and out of each site each time. Guess I'll ask my daughter what she uses and give up on PB for now. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Is this about PB's mobile app, or doing it on a PC? Do you use the mobile upload e-mail address PB provides for your account? I had never used it until just now, but it worked fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I don't know if this will help. A couple of times I clicked on the organize button and after I moved some photos to a selected album I couldn't copy. Figured it out, I had to click the organize button off before I could copy.

JTalmage Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 With the mobile app, I've found that if you try to open the app and upload pics, it doesnt work, and gives the problems that you all are describing. I've figured out that if you want to upload a single photo just hit the menu button on your phone (android in my case) and click the share box, then it will bring up all the programs you can share it with. Select photobucket, and then you will be able to upload it. I catch myself opening the app and trying it all the time... then have to close it and do it the way I learned. If you want to upload a bunch of photos, long press on a pic, and you can select multiple pics, then click share, and do the same thing. This way you can select the album you want it to go in as well. Works well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
