Title: Posting pictures.
Post by: Marc on February 17, 2017, 11:27:45 PM
I have always used photobucket in the past, but have not been able to get it to work for a while now (I cannot download new pictures to photobucket).  Not the same site it used to be by a long margin.

What sites or formats are you guys all using to post pictures currently.  Anyone else had issues with photobucket?

I stopped using photobucket a long time ago, now I use the tapatalk app on my phone. Much easier.

I had the same problem with Photobucket.  Any chance you have installed an ad blocker on your browser?  I had to unblock ads on Photobucket to get it working properly again.

Thank you, that probably explains my issues.  My wife likely did install such a program.  How do you unblock adds?

It probably varies a lot between the different ad blockers, but I can tell you what I did with uBlock.
There is a little shield for uBlock that pops up in the Chrome browser navigation bar.  If I click on that shield I can un-block ads for whatever site I am on at the time.  I also discovered after a while that I could turn the ad blocker back on again after I got Photobucket working again.  Hard to say for sure, but maybe letting some ads through cleared a bad cookie.  You could try another browser.  I stumbled upon the solution to my problem when I realized the other browser worked but didn't have an ad blocker. Another thing to try if this doesn't work would be to remove Photobucket specific cookies.
