Here is a work around for photobucket uploads. After logging in do not click on upload, instead click on library then click on the first picture window titled uploads. Select you photo, there is a slight delay for about the last 10 % of the upload. Finally click on latest uploads and there it is for copy and paste.
After reading about the problems everyone else seem to be having I was curious so I tried something new with photobucket. I opened photobucket with my bucket window showing with all the small photos then I minimized it. I then opened Windows explorer, not the browser but the window that shows all your files on your computer. I then minimized that window. So now I had two windows showing on my screen, one of photobucket and one of my files. I didn't actually minimized the windows all the way, I just made them smaller so they would both appear on my screen
I then selected one of my photos from the explorer window and right clicked and dragged it to the photobucket window. It uploaded to photobucket very quickly. I didn't even need to go through the "Photobucket Upload" process. So, even the drag and drop method works with Photobucket.
I hate to keep saying it but I'm one of those people that Photobucket always works for. And for Wyandot Jim, I never indicated that problems with photobucket were "operator error". What I said was it was probably some problem with the computer on the customers end that made photobucket not operate right.
Why else would the same program "Photobucket" always work for me and give some people so many problems? Jim, I would bet that something on your computer is just not getting along with photobucket. What it could be is anyone's guess. Computers are very complicated things. It doesn't take much to make things go screwy.
Imagine how many different computer programs there are out there since about 1985. One of the hardest things in a programmers job is to make all these programs, (some very old ones) get along and work together.
When I used to sell grips on my website I took thousands of photos. The photo program I use is windows "Picture It". Version 1.0 This program came out in 1995 so it's 22 years old and it still runs perfectly with Windows 7. I have two or three other modern photo editing programs but this old one did just what I wanted and did it perfectly with no muss or fuss.
I wish I had the answers for you guys that have problems with Photobucket but I just can't believe those problems are all Photobuckets fault.
