No, working just like normal, and I normally use it a couple of times a day.

 Here is photobuckets forum, it has been helpful in the past (http://forums.photobucket.com/index.php)
Currently both the photo site and the forum is timing out when I try to access them from this side of the pond.

May be another denial of service attack

The connection has timed out

The server at forums.photobucket.com is taking too long to respond.

          connection.

Glen.
The forum was timing out this morning, some 5hrs ago. Not now!

Photobucket is ok via my Bookmarks, but times out via your link!


What I was referring to was pb's new redesign seems to have problems with Firefox.......  :scratch:

I use FF David, and still no problems.

Except I wish they would stop playing about with it. I get used to doing it one way, than have to learn it all over again.

Everything's ok here, now!  :thumbup:

During the first 24hrs of the latest incarnation, many of my other forum's members had big issues......  :bang:

Apart from the unfamiliar layout, it is now working better than it has for some time.  :D

Hope they don't fiddle with it anymore..... It's not broke, please, leave it ALONE!   :poke:

The free sites no matter what they are used for, all try to get the user to view the advertising as much as possible. Ideally with every screen change, mouse click. So they can make more money. As the pop up blockers get more sophisticated so do the way the sites try to get around them.

It seems at times there are conflicts between the code in the software, Now I have little idea of how or what other than. That they leave some stuff in the sites software so the users have to change the settings or turn off the ad and popup blockers. Or so I have been told numerous times by people that do the code stuff for a living.

I see what you mean about it the new version is on my new computer and the old version is on the old computer. the new version sucks. makes it harder to do anything with all the blockers working
 REAL PAIN IN THE SEAT CUSHION!  :bang:
