Photobucket problems

Am I the only one?
I cannot find a way to contact those folks, and I must say I have in the past always ignored it when people here said they had problems, because I never before could not upload.

For 4 days now I have signed in (successful) and whenever I click on "upload" the way I customarily do, I get the signup screen again.
I am very frustrated.
Any ideas? I would cancel my (paid) account, but I have no alternative. Tried Flickr, could not figure it out.

I just clicked the email and password login button (as it was prefilled and 'remembered' by Chrome) and I am now in.

But weird.

that I took of the super moon several nights ago. No problems with sign in or uploading. I used the upload button in the middle of
the screen, not the tab on top with the other tabs for Library, Browse, Editor, etc.

I paid to upgrade my account and I'm hearing ads, though. And it appears to be new software for uploading.

I did try both the upload buttons, and checked if I'm paid up.
I will hope it will be OK soon. In the meantime, if anyone knows how to reach them I'd surely be interested in a phone number. google and wikipedia have been useless.

and usually check to see if others are having problems here

http://blog.photobucket.com/status/

and their e-mail is on that page: [email protected]

You get to that page by scrolling down their home page to Website Help and click the Help

then click website maintenance and system status updates, click here

There are people leaving comments that they are having trouble with sign in and uploading today.

Good luck!

At the moment I am making bone broth in anticipation of winter cooking. If winter comes!
Will figure this out, somehow I must be the only one with a problem.

5. I usually stay signed in but this time when I hit upload it took me to a sign in/up screen.

I signed in again and so far, no other problems.

Hope it works for you.

I'm pretty sure I saw it on fb news feed, but when I looked back through, I didn't find it. If it surfaces again, I'll grab it and post it.
