Photobucket Problems?

[Jessika]

I CAN NOT STAND Photobucket!! Their servers are always going down, or are so slow that pictures take forever to load!!

As an alternative I STRONGLY suggest you guys look into using zoto.com You get TWO GIGABYTES of space in which to store your images!!

PS: And PB has more than one server, so if one server goes down but not another, that's why some images will show up and some won't. Likewise, accounts are located on different servers, which is why some are able to access their accounts and upload images and why others can't.

No problems at all today or the past few days... which is odd because I always seem to have problems when nobody else is!

[luvofallhorses]

I see everything just fine. I hope they can fix this problem.

I hope they get it fixed soon, there's lots on new pictures on here I can't see.

Phew! That makes me feel better to know it's not just me. It's 11:50 pm here and I still can't see any pictures from photobucket or connect to their website Hopefully they will have this problem fixed asap!

Jessika, thanks for the suggestion on using zoto.com...I'll give it a try tomorrow when I have time

I'm having the same problem and have been all day.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Hm... I can get on the website of Photobucket! Let's try if I can insert a pic here


Seems to be working fine for me

[Jadapit]

Hmmm that is really strange! I can see everyones pictures. I wonder whats up with that? Computers can be so mind boggling at times. For me anyway. I'm using msn explorer. I hope you all can see the pictures soon!

[Jessika]

lol if anyone had read my reply you would understand why its doing that...

Is that why certain people can't see any photos on Pet Talk, though? I mean, you're saying some can access their accounts, and, some can't...and, then, you're saying you can see some pictures, but, not others. That's not really the problem some of the people are experiencing...unless I'm misunderstanding...that might be why people are still puzzled. Not because they didn't read your reply, but, maybe because they're experiencing a different scenario than what you're referring to...just a thought. I can see all of them fine, by the way.

finn's mom, I don't know how familiar you are with the term "propogating", but when a website or server goes up or down, it might take awhile for the changes to be reflected world-wide since the change has to hit every server in every country, and that takes some time. It can take up to 72 hours sometimes.

When you first purchase a domain name and "point" that domain to your hosting, it can take up to 72 hours for every server world wide to be updated with the change. So when some people visit it within that time, some will still see the old host while others will see the new host.

I really don't know how to explain it, I mean, I know exactly what I'm talking about and that IS what is going on. It all has to do with servers being updated with the change from photobucket's servers being up or down, where you're located, etc.

Cool, I don't really get it, and, it doesn't really make a difference to me, personally. But, the only reason I said anything is because the examples you gave of problems experienced from this happening weren't the problem that some of the people here were experiencing. That's all I was saying.

[Jessika]

Yeah it did; some said they couldn't view pictures or log into their accounts and others said they could, and that's because some servers are down while others are still up. lol.

Ok, I was referring to the problem where certain people couldn't see any photos on Pet Talk or anywhere else if they were taken from Photobucket. lol

That's exactly what I was explaining..... I did describe the problem... perhaps you just don't understand??
