Photobucket down?

[HFinn]

I have tried to go to photobucket for a couple of days now, but it does not seem to work. Actually I got a virus warning for visiting the site. Does anyone know more about this?

Have you been sleeping under a rock? They went under basically. Blocked off all free hotlinking because no one was using there pay service. You'll have to use another service like imgur.com or postimg or something else.

Here is just one thread of many about issues with it. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/whelp-if-you-are-using.1503658/

Yes I have Thanks for the info. There go all my pictures. But now I can take new ones!

They have actually recently walked back the changes/price hikes...$20/year for hosting and whatnot. It was worth it to me to be able to fix all my old threads scattered across the web

Last couple of days the site has been glitchy and offline at different times. Seems to be running OK today. There was an "under new management" message sent out mid-May that coincided with the change in their pricing structure.

It seems photobucket is running again. I started an account in imgur and transporting the pictures I want to use in future there. For some reason I could not download the pictures in photobucket back to my computer, no such problem with imgur.
