What changed with Photobucket? I can't do it.

I barely use it, like once every couple of years even. So am now trying to Upload something and there's a button "Upload," fine, but when you push it, it goes to a window, "Upload from (Computer)," then there's nothing to proceed with. Nothing happens.

That opens a file manager window where you can select the local image file you want to upload.

Certain things don't work with certain browsers. I was trying to listen to a radio station online streaming last weekend, and it would keep cutting me off after 30 seconds. I finally switched from Chrome to Firefox, and it was smooth sailing after that.

Maybe that would solve your issue? Maybe not?

... it opens a File Manager(?) on my computer that says (partially) "Select file(s) to upload..."
.
Click on the dropdown menu and then double-click on "Libraries", then double-click on "Pictures".
.
You may have to then double-click on "My Pictures" (my system teases me and I can't figure out
how to set default settings to minimize the number of steps I have to take).
.
I copy the filename (it will show up automatically at the top of the pic when it gets to Photobucket
as the "title" at the top -- otherwise you have to add it later (if you want a title -- it may help you
search for that pic later).
.
Hover your cursor over the pic in Photobucket and click on the 2nd URL from the top. Paste that
in the message body of the post you're composing.

Hope this helps.

Photobucket can be very phickle. Sometimes, I just re-open it or wait a few hours for them to fix
THEIR glitch.
