Anyone else having trouble with the photo hosting site photobucket?
It seems over the last 6 months or so it keeps going down and I can't seem to copy links or it's very slow.
Very annoying pop up ads which take up the whole page, on my PC I have to find a tiny bit of the screen to click on to get rid of the ad and if I don't click in the right place it opens up the ads website.

Anyone recommend a different site which I can post pictures in forum threads?

I found this too. Download and use the browser "opera" for it. It has a great ad blocker that makes it useable again.

Sent from a phone, please excuse all the medium steaks. Stupid autocorrect!!

You should be able to use the add image on the site here.  Just press add image in your post then search computer till you find the file you need.
You don't then need a third party hosting site.

I use AdBock in google chrome it's very good.
I enable the pop up blocker in chrome too.
I understand how tedious it gets.

Oh, I know too well Pbuckit issues of the last 6 months.
If I had to change, and I have thought about it….Do you have any idea how many how-to's I would need to re-write…… Ouch….. I feel your pain, I too use Chrome and adblock, but I am using it in a MAC.  

So you know how many emails I got from some folks that chewed me out for removing my Pbucket account?
And it tweren't my issue at all.


What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

I'll try the ad blocker.
I can't always use the add image tag as I'm not always on my home computer so I don't have access to my saved pictures especially if I'm at work.  :lol:

Or even on the iPad as I've no car pictures on there.

Fair point.
If you're using tappa talk this has an add image function but it doesn't work for me on my iPhone4 lol.
Which is annoying
But you should be able to either upload from from the camera aswell as saved pics. That's good if you're doing a job and can snap a pic and upload. Love technology when it works lol.

I'd just add I've found with add blocker is you sometimes have to pause it if you're using a site that has pop out windows such as hotel booking sites etc.
You click to get the comparison but nothing appears. I sometimes use streaming sites for my TV so on demand services like 4OD come up with a script asking to disable or pause.
Ad block it's no biggie and it kills so much rubbish off other sites. Worth a try.
I'd not be without it myself.

Move all your images over to google drive, or one drive from Microsoft. There's also imgur as well :)
