Anybody else have problems using photobucket? Everytime I try to use it to view members pictures when part of an album, my computer locks up completely after three or four minutes...fine up to that point, but all of a sudden, a complete deep freeze. I have to do a force close. every. single. time. (sigh)

My laptop is a lenovo t61, windows 7 enterprise, and there no loss of Internet connection to blame it on. Any ideas?
 
I have been using it for years never had any trouble.
 
I have W-7 and I have a terrible time with PB. One thing that hurt me was my screen size. I'm nearly blind so I make the screen large. Real Large!
That was causing some "text Boxes" in the PB site to overlap.
PB is slower than Slugs on a garden wall.

There are three choices to upload Photos.
One at a time.
Bulk loader.
Send an email to your own account.

That Bulk Up loader is a real good thing.
However, one at a time is sometimes kinda iffy.

What you think is a Shut down of your PC is probably a Communications time out.
PB is good about helping you out by email. Give em' a try.
 
Thx, I have sent them an email.
It could be a type of communications time-out..., just seems to last forever, and prevents me from doing anything...I cant return to any home screen, close PB, close BoaterEd, nothing, unless I force a shutdown/restart. I've tried waiting for an error message, no luck. I'm not even talking about trying to upload. Merely viewing existing members albums, when a link has been provided.
Off the top of my head, I'm talking Currentsea pictures from Sandy, Chefjunk Montego pics of his former boat, and there have been others in the past... I dunno...

I have been able to set up a PB account no problem, but am hesistant to attempt uploading photos til I figure this out. I know there are other pic hosting sites, but it's kind of a drag when wanting to see others' photos...
 
I even have the app on my iphone and have no problems. Just converted to a pro account not to long ago. Lets you transfer full resolution pictures back and forth and gets rid of the ads.
