Photobucket being a turd blossom

So we hate photobucket.

Both the website and the app are playing up for me. Doesnt display images and takes 10 mins to delete a photo that then reappears when I re enter.

Yesterday I uploaded 6 photos. For some reason is uploads 40 of the same photos and I spent 4 hours trying to delete them which failed.

What the hell is going on with it. This is both the app and the website. Uninstalled the app and reloaded and does the same. Same on multiple computers I have tried.

Might just find an alternative.

It is working fine for me, although it did stall out on me while uploading two pics last night. I refreshed the page and all was well.

App is still running crap. Won't load any media and says 502 images in one folder. However the mobile website is now working and it says I have 480 pictures in this one folder which is right.

On another note. The app crashes every time I go back a menu or copied a photo link. Every time. Think I'll get rid of the app and replace with an a ex hamster based app.

I used to use Photobucket for all my images back in the day (PUK days). But now I've been put off by how slow it is and takes forever to upload images or even just browse your already uploaded pics.

Now I just use Photo-bucket for images that are not that important such as 'For Sale adds' and simple pictures that I will delete later on.

For main picture like shows, or pictures that I will put in my Type-S thread I used Flickr. Flickr is great, fast and you can see high resolution images and their app is awesome too. You can even check out other people's photos by searching for it in their search function.

Use Imgur

It is by far the best image hosting site. Period.

I have the same issue mate, it drives me nuts. I thought my iPad was on the blink but it's the same on my phone.
