It is a known problem, that has been reported by several members. It manifests itself primarly by a very long delay, before the picture will appear. Some experience the same problem with photobucket on other websites too, so it may perhaps be more of a photobucket problem.

On a side note: IT problems are best posted in the Altdorf Press.

Thanks Fidelis.  It is much appreciated  :happy:.  I will see what I can do with regards to using other hosting sites rather than photobucket.

Bummer, this issue certainly detracts from usage.  Hopefully King can still post his updates!

Don't leave us King.

We don't know what has caused this photobucket problem of late. Bugman has a few suggestions, but Grutch is deciding what to do.

I am not going to leave and I never intended to as this site is very important for me  :happy:  I want to find another hosting site other than photobucket so that I can show you my pictures here, that is all :mrgreen:

Bummer, this issue certainly detracts from usage.  Hopefully King can still post his updates!

Can anyone suggest something else to be used instead of photobucket please?

I had the same issue recently, ended up double posting because of it, Photobucket is a mess of site, I've moved to Imgur and that seems to be better.

imgur for me too. It doesn't seem to have the same problems as Photobucket.

I had some other stuff on flickr a while back, but performance wise that was difficult as photobucket.
One day I need consolidate my photo hosting services
So imgur you say...

I’m still having problems with Photobucket.

It seemed to start when they made changes to the way they displayed adverts, which by coincidence, was when they started aggressively suggesting you pay to go advert free.  Problem for them is that this backfires as a) there are other free host sites and b) as there’s no guarantee that the problems will be sorted by going advert free who in their right mind is going to pay.

I shall stick with them a bit longer as just posting one character at a time with 2/3 photos is working reasonably well at the moment.
