Photobucket Log-In Problems

Photobucket's log-in function requires Flash Player. I have the very latest version of Flash Player and Shockwave installed. I have the very latest updates to Chrome and Safari. I have updated my entire system to Mac OSX 10.11.6 and added RAM. Everything was fine (for the past 3 weeks) until this week, and now I cannot log into my account at Photobucket at all.

I cannot contact Photobucket's help because I can't log into my account. I can see my photos, and can navigate to different folders/albums; presumably I'd still be able to copy the IMG Codes for photos and post them here, but I cannot access the account in any way that allows me to upload new photos or manipulate any of my stored photos.

So, is anyone else having the same problem this week?

(I've already tried all the suggestions at Chrome's user support forums and everything is absolutely the latest available versions of all related software updates.)

So far, it is only Photobucket where I'm having problems. Obviously there's no problem for me logging in here, or to my ISP and email. Is there ANYBODY else experiencing problems with Photobucket?

Photobucket has been messed up this week. I couldn't reach it sporadically for several days. There have been lot's of complaints online. Search for "Photobucket down" - results: http://downdetector.com/status/photobucket

Please post these threads in off topic in the future. This section is for Swifty's Garage issues. We are not Photobucket and we cannot help with Photobucket issues.

I was able to get in my photobucket account briefly this morning but I can't seem to get it to even come up at all.

I think today was the first time I even logged into PB this week, in fact it was just a half hour ago, it is still open in another tab, and seems to be working for me, just posted a thread with some photos. Of course I seldom update much of anything on my computer anyway, since it always seems to give me new problems when I do. :D

Example PB photo below.

Photobucket mobile is all messed up, or at least I can't figure it out now. looks like they updated it and I can't upload any pix to my PB account at all. I can't even figure out anything on the mobile app now. Really bummed about this turn of events.

I swear that Flash Player link is malicious software, a Trojan horse. I clicked on it once and had nothing but trouble. Download and install Flash Player only from the Adobe site.

Flash is insecure garbage that has exploits found all the time, it really just needs to die already. There's a reason Youtube stopped using it. Never install any plugins without a little research beforehand and fetching it from the original site.

Anyone else having troubles logging in to Photobucket? I get logged in, then go to go upload photos only to be returned instantly to the login page. Been like this for a week.

It is mostly working for me - can post a few pictures and then I get "photobucket has stopped working". Leave and get back in and it works for a bit and then the same - also very slow.

Photobucket is the reason I have not posted any pictures lately and I am either not in the mood or not in the right frame of mind to try something new at this moment.

I have been posting pictures on Swiftys group page on Facebook and trying to get the Facebook members to participate in the group but that is like pulling teeth. I get a lot of views and maybe a few likes but not much else.

And Photobucket is down. Again.
I've been having occasional problems with the uploading pictures after the update.
I'm still staying with Photobucket but if these issues stay,i'll move to Flickr.

I tried imageshack, which I really, really like, but it seems its only free for like a month. Then its like $18.99.

I haven't used Photobucket for what feels like a month now. Basically I stopped because ever since their last major update, I'm not able to upload from my phone any longer.

I am both :soapbox: and :crying:



I've been using Flickr instead... back to where I started many many years ago.

My virus protection Webroot says that Photobucket isn't trusted. I have the Geek Squad membership and it helps tremendously.
