Seiko 7A38 - by the numbers

I've had 2 annoying problems with PhotoBucket lately ....

Firstly I frequently can't access images beyond the first page of any sub-album - a keep getting a blank screen. 

This afternoon (when I could actually access Photobucket), every time I tried to upload a new photo, I got 'Upload Error'. 

When it wasn't doing that, I kept getting this screen:

I thought at first, it might be something to do with the fact that I'd installed AdBlockPlus on Chrome a few weeks ago.

But later this afternoon, I resorted to using Internet Explorer - and got the same (failed) results ! 

Nope. Photobucket has definitely sprung a leak today. 

It was mentioned on SCWF around the same time I tried to upload a few: http://www.thewatchsite.com/index.php/topic,36459.0.html

Is anybody else getting these problems with Photobucket ??  It would be nice if somebody anybody could be bothered to answer. 

Major spate of these 'Upload Errors' this morning - I'm almost at the point of saying F**K it - and giving up trying !! 

Paul,

I have tested it and works fine for me! I have uploaded this photo first:

Then I have received this screen:

I've not been doing many (read hardly any) uploads in the last few weeks. 

I'm sure though that I've seen a couple of advisory emails from Photobucket notifying me of exciting upgrades being performed. Typically I can't find said emails but I'm sure I haven't been imagining them.

Anyway, they are clearly doing maintenance / upgrades / whatever work thats affecting service.

Indeed, it seems they were, Simon - and everything stabilized, and went back to normal about a  week later.

The only difference I noticed is that sometimes (not always) PB would add an alpha-numeric suffix to my photo filename (before .jpg).

Looks like they were (still are) working on a mobile version - or possibly trying to combine the two (a frequent bugbear nowadays). 

See this thread on the RLT watch forum: http://www.thewatchforum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=78353 (includes screen shots).

I stll haven't clicked on the 'Try it Now' button - but apparently the option to revert to the old look still exists - at least for the time being.

Not long now.  I've been seeing this header and pop-up when using Photobucket on my home PC, over the last week or so:

So yesterday, I was at work and needed to upload a couple of images. Clicked on the PB icon and it went straight into the new version with no option to return to the old version !! Absolutely HATE it !!  Luckily when I came home, I still have the old version. For now.
