I usually just touch the app and all my photos come up.
Not today.
I'm so damn pissed off!
Says some dumb crap like:

Failed to fetch user data.
Verify you have a data connection.

Cancel. Retry.

Wtf is going on?
 
PB has gotten more and more *buggy* lately it seems. You're not the only one...
 
Still buggy on 3/17. I need to find an alternative.

Edit: the online photo editor befunky.com plus imgur or shutterfly are good alternatives to Photobucket. Its too bad that Photobucket perpetually sucks.

I've thought about switching to imgur.

I never use the editing functions in photobucket. Usually, I use a very old copy of photoshop. Online, I've used https://pixlr.com/editor/ The also have something a bit more basic at https://pixlr.com/express/ Express is a bit more basic and probably intended more for social media like befunky.
 
I dumped photo bucket when their ad placement became intrusive to any regular photo viewing activity. That said, postimage.io is a better alternative that I discovered lately -- so far no ads and also provided ready-made links for forums.

Yeah, I dumped it a couple weeks ago, for the same reasons. Agonizingly slow, incessant pop ups, etc etc.
 
Is there any way to select multiple photos in imgur and generate links to all of them? I use that feature a lot in photobucket. Copying links for each individual image isn't very practical when you are posting a lot of photos.
 
I have a paid PB account and after looking through the barrage of unaddressed complaints on their Facebook and their own status page about the same issues I was having I contacted their customer support. They replied that they had identified the issues and that now I needed to clear my cashe/cookie and restart the browser. It seems to have worked.
 
I don't have a paying account on P.Bucket, is this why I and so many others have these incessant and chronic problems with it? Do those who pay have no problems?

Frequently it's impossible, can't log in, can't get to pages or images, won't do anything and I'm using Safari and a very new Macbook.

I will use imgur when I've sat down and mastered the sizing problems, intend to keep the P.Bucket as an archive, it's just ridiculously unreliable on a daily basis.
 
I have been having all kinds of trouble out of it for the past few weeks.
