Is this a USofA thing only as I can still see some of my pics here...

This is one of my oldest posts so are they still visible to you on the link above...?

I was able to log in to Photobucket yesterday and downloaded all of my albums. I had my daughters HS graduation pics in there and needed to grab those before anything else changed. Will take a look at Imgur as another option but at least I have all of my pics stored in a couple of backups at home.

How did you even get in?!

Just tried again- three different systems, 2-3 different browsers on each, still getting broken pages similar to the screenshot I posted.

Dave's probably right- high volume of people all trying to get their content out at the same time.

All my photos seem to be there (on Photobucket) but I had to navigate to my library to see them. I'd better save that Thunderbird pickup shot for posterity!

My Photobucket seems to come up fine using Microsoft Edge, but with Microsoft Explorer it looks funky. How do you download your photos back to a directory on your computer?

The good news is that existing Photobucket links here seem to be visible now, including George's famous Thunderbird pickup reflection. I'll be surprised if that lasts, though.

Also, their login page is back to normal now (in Firefox), I logged in fine tonight, everything's still there, but the right hand boxes where you can copy the image URL aren't functioning.

I don't know if there's a way to download an album all at once, but you can bring up each photo individually then right click and save.

I hope my efforts to thoroughly smash that stereotype have been successful (sorry).

I tried yesterday and managed to download one album. Next one it kind of freezed or simply refused to start download when pushing the download button. I will try later this evening.

It's an iconic hunk of work (or work of hunk?) and - dare I say! - a real period piece!!! Wild George at his best!

Everything seems to be functioning normally for me, if a bit sluggish... :bored:

I had to download each (of 375) photo(s) individually, but it went fairly quick. I never much cared for Microsoft Edge, but it works better for Photobucket.

I haven't heard from them either, wouldn't they at least be sending an email to notify customers? I upgraded my subscription some years ago (not to a huge amount), I do wonder too if this only applies to US residents? You guys post way too many pics!  :mrgreen:

Can you see the link in my first post when you're logged in to your account? If so, it applies to you.

But Farrah and I are still there! I have used 2% of my available storage space, maybe that is why?

Now mine is back to normal. Maybe they backed off.
