Photobucket has become unusable with each of my three browsers (Firefox, Safari, and even Chrome, their "recommended" choice). The PB site consistently crashes my browser, no matter which one. Often, it locks up the browser and prevents any action at all. When there is some kind of error message (all browsers) it seems to be that Adobe Flash crashes. There are no versions of Flash that I can find that fix this problem. And there is no other web site that causes the same problem....nothing else crashes browsers except Photobucket. Photobucket user support told me the only browser the would recommend, because Flash was built-in or something, was Chrome. But I can't even open Chrome and log into PB before it fails. Every time it crashes any browser, I end up having to force-quit the browser to get out of the crash. Is there anybody here who has experience with Photobucket and other hosting services who can steer me to a host that offers about the same features and "free storage" as PB, but works better? Thanks! |

I have become very frustrated with photobucket lately, too. It keeps crashing, and now I call it up in an entirely different browser to avoid losing the post I am writing up. It is definitely the ads, but I will not budge and pay. I know it is my own fault, because it really is amazing that it is still free, but you get what you pay for. I am starting to think the ads are glitchy intentionally... |

I wonder if it could be pop-up blockers or something which causes the problems. I use ad block plus on firefox but this doesn't stop them so they must have some funny scripts running which causes the crashes. |

You don't need scripts to dodge ad blocking software. imgur.com is a popular, lightweight one. I considered switching at one point but didn't like the interface. However, I'm once again thinking of using it because Photobucket has seemed more concerned with showing you Photobucket lately than the pictures you actually host there. That and their mobile options are terrible. |
