I never use Photobucket anymore because it freezes my computer. I use Fotki instead.

I doubt that it's freezing your computer; it's probably freezing your web browser software. And that's because you probably are using an old, outdated browser that can't handle the latest website technologies.

Solution: update to a current browser and your problems with Photobucket will disappear.

Or move on over to Fotki! That's what I use and have never had any problems.

No different than usual.

You go to their website and download the latest version.

Google Chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome?&brand=CHMA&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-bk&utm_medium=ha

Safari: http://www.apple.com/safari/

Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

You can use whichever browser you want. Personally I use Firefox.

And yes, click on the link that says "Download" or "Download Now" or whatever. Then after it downloads to your computer, you have to actually install it into your computer's hard drive. Some will start the installation process automatically, with others you'll have to double click on the icon. Either way, once the installation process begins just follow the instructions.

I just moved onto Smugmug.com

I'm having a problem wit PB too, but it's mainly with the annoying HD ads they play that take up soooooooooooo much speed and processing power, that it makes my web browser and sometimes my pc crash!!!

Maybe thats whats going on with mine, everytime i push on my link it freezes up.

I'm telling you, Photobucket's gotta have one of the slowest uploaders out there.

In the time it takes me to upload one picture to Photobucket, I can upload three to Facebook.
