Topic: Photobucket, server error.

[mistybear]

Does anyone else use photobucket, I have been trying to upload a photo for ages and it keeps getting to 8%, then Server error. Michael tells me that it's them and there is nothing I can do.

Is there another free one like photobucket I can use in the mean time.

I've never used these, but a couple of ideas: http://www.webshots.com/, http://www.picturetrail.com/

the later one wins in my book as it has sexy young ladies on the front page (well it does at the moment)

Or http://www.flickr.com/

I've just tried to log on to Photobucket and been met with an instruction to type in my old password and change it immediately to a new one due to a security breach.  Having done this, I now have full access to my album.

Thanks guys, I forgot about Flickr, and sexy young girls will please Michael, but this is for me, I prefer sexy young cats. 

Gill, the same thing happened to me, but it wouldn't accept the change of password that I tried (several times), so I clicked on "no thanks". I can access my Albums, but I can't upload?

i have a flick account but I generally dont think of it like photobucket... flickr is where I post my pics, photobucket is where I put other peoples images :-D

[sam]

oh and there is always: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/

Thanks Sam, I did download picasaweb, but I couldn't work how to use it, so I have gone with PictureTrail. So far good.

And thanks for changing the link for me.

And http://www.tinypic.ws/  Censorship on photobucket is quite draconian - even for quite mild cartoons such as we post here.

[mistybear]

Thanks Clive, yes Photobucket deleted a couple of mine, remember "find the apricot". And a picture of a can of nuts, "Tuff Nuts", how silly is that.

I just use my own web space, it's easier.

[mistybear]

Must learn how to do that one day, not sure how much space we have.

[sam]

probably not much.. just use other people's space... 

[mistybear]

Michael is probably using it any how.

Photobucket is now uploading properly, what a difference a day makes. (love that song)

I use photobucket, Misty, and find it ok but then I'm not into dirty pictures.
