Photobucket is making my head hurt...

[Catty1]

Hi. Another PTr said they could see my new photo...strange thing is, PT CP said that there was "an error in the upload" and after several tries, I gave up.

So this PTr can see it - and I can't!

I put it in Photobucket hoping to do a better link...neither link function worked, I had to resize, and did....then tried to save from PB or even the desktop folder again...

Arrgh...guess I might delete History and see if I can actually see it too?

Any ideas, thanks!

I use http://fotopic.net/, have not had one problem with them.

I haven't used Photobucket so I'm not quite sure what the problem is.

It seems to be a 'size' or 'upload' problem.

When I first came to PT in 2004, I uploaded a pic no prob...but then, I loaded it as an avatar! Maybe I'll try that....

I uploaded the cat in my siggy last evening, and didn't have a problem. I use photobucket. But yeah, some times it drives me loopy!

I am using Photobucket since more than 4 years, and I never had any problem! I resize all my pics to 400/300, and use PaintShop Pro 7 to do this. I only load up resized pics to Photobucket!
Maybe it would be better to start up under another name??

Thanks, all!

Lut, that's a great idea...to save just resized photos to PB.

I will try that. Though...I have a resized one on my computer desktop, and it also shows 'an upload problem'.

Anyway, will give it a shot. Thank you!

Do you still have problems with uploading to Photobucket? I have! They have changed their site recently - can't remember when, but I have not been able to log on for months now. I did disable Java Script and then I could get on the site, but still not upload.

I have more problems than not w/Photobucket, which is why I gave up.

Ah...I used to be able to access Photobucket only on IE. And I am running XP. Will give that a shot. (I'd actually given up and posted my Xmas card pic as a siggy! LOL)

I've personally never liked photobucket... not when it debuted yeaaars ago, and not now. I've found it better to host images on my own webspace that I pay for (I have like 30GBs of space lol) orrr I recently discovered Google's image hosting service, Picasa gallery online... you should check it out. Hosts images AND video
