I just tried logging onto photobucket to get some links to some pics I have, and today I noticed its taking longer and longer to log in and do what you got to do (get pics, upload, navigate through folders, etc). Is anyone else experiencing this problem?? I know its most likely due to the growing popularity of the website, as they have 10+ billion pictures and videos uploaded on there server. I'm thinking of switching providers but not sure who is out there, and I don't care for supermods or supermotorsports or whichever name it is thats displayed in the lower right corner of every picture that comes from their server. Who uses what and what else is out there?? I'm looking at flickr now, but not sure if it will work for what I want. Currently I have about 4,000 or so pictures and vids, so it'll take me some time to get them transfered from photobucket (I don't have all of them on my computer anymore) but I want to find a good one before I start this... Whats ya'lls opinions :icon_confused:

Not having any issues here. I tried the 'puter, my Ipad and my Blackberry Tablet and I got right in. Might be some malware issue on your end? Do a scan on your stuff and see if you got something. All the other sites you log on come right up without issues?? Very strange.

Ive tried my phone (HTC EVO 3D), my laptop, and my desktop. All 3 with websites other than photobucket. All sites on all 3 are quick as usual, its just photobucket's site. Took me 3 times to log in from computers, and I'm still trying to get into my folders after 25+ minutes....

Ok, I just tried it again and went right into the website. I don't understand why you are having trouble. I will call a buddy and have him try it. He lives about an hour away from me. Maybe it is the area??

I had a site survey pop up on me this morning, and I accepted the request to take. It ran like a GM product until I closed the tab that I had Photobucket running in, and took the survey. Then all was back to normal.

Just got a call back from my buddy. No problems on his end. I asked if he thought it was slow. He said he had downloaded some photos around 3:25 (Florida time) without any problems. It could have been a fluke or some updating on the website when you tried it.
