photo bucket problems

ever since last night i've been unable to get on photobucket.com or even view the pictures linked from their site. other people i've talked say the site works for them, and one or two said it doesn't work. anybody know what's going on?

DNS failure maybe

i talked to some people on draggers and they all said it work fine for them now, even the few who had problems last night. i tried using safari and firefox and the same thing with each.

it's really frustrating because almost every picture posted on websites are hosted by photobucket.

Photobucket bites

that's why i own a Google Pages account.

No reduction, no bandwidth limit, 100mb, no adds, and the best thing, for free.

Code: Select all

(Don't worry Slay, i'm using googlepages to host my images, so we're not wasting your bandwidth heh)

that doesn't take away from the fact that i can't see anything because apparently 90% of images are hosted by photobucket and all i get is a broken link.

i've been searching around google and some other people have also had this problem in the past. of all of them, i didn't see one real fix to the problem either.

i did notice that internet explorer is completly blocked and i remember accidentally blocking it yesterday and now i can't figure out how to unblock it so i think that might have something to do with it. or maybe it's just certain people having problems with photobucket and i just happen to be one of them.

Well that stinks.

Hopefully they'll have it fixed before too long.

see, I was right, DNS issue.

It was so obvious, as obvious as this
