Having trouble getting onto my Fotki.com site...

[Lordmodelbuilder]

I can't seem to bring up the Fotki.com photo website. 

Anyone else having issues accessing their website?

 

[RancheroSteve]

Just checked mine and it's working fine.

[Lordmodelbuilder]

Thanks Steve.

Apparently, they no longer have free accounts, sooooo.....bye.

I have had a pay account for over 20 years on Fotki.

I still can't access my account on there or even the Fotki sight in general. 

Have tried on both on latest I phone & Android .

Well, I just logged into mine using my ancient Moto G6.

I complained a few months ago that when I posted photo's of a build it opened a new account, instead of adding the pics to the original build account. They couldn't understand what I meant, and it finally stopped taking anymore posts, so I stopped using it!

So I had to find another hosting site and we don't have many in the UK!

I have tried my old Samsung phone from way back,my brand new latest Samsung & and I phone & nothing works. Have shut off a bunch of settings & cleared the cashe. 

I now have an email into Fotki.

Maybe it's a T-Mobile problem.

Lets think this through logically.  First of all, anybody (non-members) can access Fotki (not login, but they can view photos) and the other way is that registered users login into their account and they can view and upload photos into their account and also view other photos like non-users.

If I understood him correctly Brad mentioned earlier that he cannot even access any other user's public photos on Fotki, while accessing the site as a non-Fotki-member.  If that's really the case then the problem likely is not on Fotki site and contacting them will likely not help much.

 

For example, can you see photos on https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/mkiba-build-under-c/academy-instructions/academy-ac-289-cobra/

If not, what is the error you are seeing?  Brad, any chance you can try accessing Fotki from a real computer (not a smart phone)?

I’ve had trouble getting onto my Fotki this week too, regardless of device or connection

My Fotki iPhone app DOES work just fine, but yeah, I’ve had some issues on desktop or the browser versions 

[OldNYJim]

Update; my app stopped working too.

@Lordmodelbuilder, did you get a reply from Fotki support?  Would be interested to hear what they say…

[Lordmodelbuilder]

Peteski, I cannot get onto Fotki when I click your link.

I have tried 3 different browsers on 2 Samsung phones & 1 I phone.

The errors I get are....sight took too long to load & check settings, sight may have moved.

Fotki support now has my IP address as of yesterday to see if that's maybe the issue. Haven't heard back from them yet. 

I don't have a computer,but will try later on phone when I go out to eat. I will see if their internet will work for me. 

Jim,I don't have a Fotki app anymore on my Samsung phone. I don't think there is one for it anymore.

Seems to me your internet connection is not good enough to load the site. 

[Lordmodelbuilder]

Well....as of about 2pm,I can now get onto Fotki. 

No idea what was going on.

Thanks,Brad

Glad the issue is resolved.  I doubt it was related to the Fotki site itself - more likely related to the internet connectivity between your smart phone and the Fotki servers.  The errors you were seeing seemed to point in that direction.

[OldNYJim]

I got an email from Fotki support suggesting they did indeed have some kind of issue but that it is now resolved.

Their support is always great - I’ve needed it a grand total of 3 times in probably 15 years, and they always get right back and fix the issue.
