    That's why I recommend getting your own server and space.

    Anything else sucks anymore.

    That is the crappy thing for me. I have my own server, but all the photos I want to see are from people hosting them on Photobucket, arrrrghghghghgghh! There are some picture contests on another site that I wanted to vote for, but can't now because of this mess.

    I don't know if you are able to access the forums, and I don't know what browser you all are using (Internet Explorer I assume, but I recommend using FireFox instead, its SO much safer and secure) but here is some help from their forum...

    (I would post the whole post but its VERY long and lots of URLs would get cut off)

    And here is a post created by other PB members experiencing the SAME problem as some of you:

    Then again if you are unable to access the site chances are likely you will be unable to access the forums, too

    Photobucket Network Update

    If you didn't know, yesterday two Tier 1 providers got into a feud and cut off traffic to eachothers network.

    Read article here

    Unfortunately Photobucket was one of the thousands of sites effected. We have talked with both Cogent and Level 3, but it doesn't look like it will be fixed anytime soon. Rather than sit back and wait for it to all get sorted out, we have taken some drastic steps to work towards our own resolution.

    - Overnighted some additional network equipment as of yesterday
    - Moved our dns over to Ultradns (which is used by amazon, myspace, etc) . This gives us some flexibility on how we handle traffic from the two networks.
    - Working frantically on bringing up another carrier so we can start pushing 'non-resolvable' traffic that direction.

    We believe this will solve many or all of the issues regardless of what happens with Cogent and Level 3.

    Thanks for understanding, Photobucket got the worst of a bad situation that is totally out of our control.

    Network Issue

    It appears there is a peering issue with some of the network providers. We are looking into this.

    We'll keep you posted.

    So they changed their DNS and it could take 72 hours for changes to take effect... exactly what I've been saying all along xD

    Thanks Jessika, that was very helpful to know. I was really wanting to read that, but can't access the forums either. So thanks for posting!

    Well I assumed nobody would be able to access that, either, since its on the same domain the main site is on, that's why I quoted the two blogs talking bout the problem and posted the link as a source :P

    I hope they get it fixed though, I'm just glad I don't use photobucket to host my pictures
