Is it me, or has Photobucket gotten very slow?

I have not posted cooks here for sometime now because I can't wait 20 mins to post a few pictures.

I just spent 18 mins trying to upload three pictures and a thread about a box I got.

Can anyone give me a better photo site to deal with cause Photobucket has gone the way of Washington DC They have gone to H#ll in a hand basket >:(

I really like this site and have learned alot I just can't spend that much time trying to load pictures

I just uploaded a pic to test and it was fine.

I also just uploaded a pic to Photobucket a minute ago and everything seemed fine.

Here's a list of the most popular pic host sites if you want to try something other than Photobucket. Unlike Photobucket, not all on the list are free.

I've had it appear to "lock-up" on me a few times. I've just backed out and started over. Then it worked fine.

TMB are you using the same camera to take the pictures that you have used before?
What resolution are the pictures you are trying to upload?
The higher the resolution the longer its going to take to upload a photo. :) :)

I've found it to be a little slow at times. I have better luck if I upload 1 or 2 pics at a time, instead of trying a bunch at once.

It is you. ;D ;D ;D

By the way, Merry Christmas to you, Kimmie, and the family.

You might run a speed test on your internet connection at&t has a free one and see if your having trouble with your line.

TedEbear · December 22, 2013, 08:46:14 PM

I sometimes run Speedtest to see what I'm getting. It's free.

Quarlow · December 22, 2013, 09:44:39 PM

Well that sucked. I did your speed test Ted and it told me to just smash my laptop. It has 772 problems and they wanted my left arm to fix it. LOL
