Photobucket problem?

[Smokin Don]

Is anyone else having problems with Photobucket. When I try to log in my avast antivirus gives a warning of "Malicious URL Blocked" I do not log in and trying to resolve this on Avast forum. Smokin Don

Sorry Don I get right on, may be your set up.   I'm locked down tight here at work but the sit goes right in.

Thanks Toney it is probably a false alarm from my Avast. I have had a few of these over the years but usually get fixed soon. Don

Hey Don, Tommy is my name, although Toney is where I live!

Don - you should be able to "exempt" or in-block specific websites from your anti-virus software. If you can't find how to do it on your own - try looking on You Tube for a video, or do a Google search for a "how to" on the subject.

I hope that helps!

I've had no problem but I use AVG. speaking of photobucket....anyone here hate the new version? I went back to the old because I could not find the bulk uploader in the newer version. From what I have read your not going to have a choice soon.  The bulk upload is very quick the standard upload is like molasses. Might have to find a different service soon.

I agree with all on the new PB. I used it for awhile then switched back and it looks like in about 20 some days we will all be switched to the new ver. I may try Googles Picasa, I load to my google blog direct from my PC but they are all stored in Picasa which is similar to PB. I used it for awhile in another forum but then went back to PB for some reason. Don

Been called a whole lot worse!

Teesquare, not sure what's going on, not getting any speedy help from Avast forum. I added PB's URL to the excluded ones and I still get the warning. I'll just keep working on it. TF for the help. Don

How are the upload speeds in Picasa?

I am not happy with the new Photobucket either. Unfortunately - I have  more than 14 thousand photos on PB - and to move them will be a pain...I amy still do it - but not happy about.

I just use PhotoShop (Adobe) - There is a low cost (under $100) version available. Click Image / Image Size / 150dpi / jpeg 10 - 12 to save. They fit perfectly. Search and save. The program will let you "fix" photos automatically. Really easy and no other places to have to post photos.

You might want to consider another photo hosting site.

I really prefer Picasa over photo bucket.

Picasa has a little known hidden feature that lets you resize photos (or rather constrain the size) on the fly when linking to them.  That feature is nice since not all forums support specifying the image size when posting the [img] code.  Example: [img width= 640, height = 480]


I can also link to my Picasa account through my Roku player to do slide shows right on my large screen high-def TV.

Flickr is also supported by some streaming devices.
