photobucket problem

the watchman

Hi all, need some help.
Afew days back I opened a photobucket account and uploaded one picture. (cant remember how I did it). Anyhow, went to my account today and tried to upload more images and cant seem to do it.

I do get to my page and then click 'bulk upload' and then this swirly thing come up and says 'loading please wait'. If I continued to wait as it wants me to I will be dead and burried before it comes up. A little java upate icon comes up in system tray, so I updated java. Still the same problem.

So now I have safey stripped all java that I can from computer. Still the same problem.

Would appreciate any advice please.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using noscript or adblock.
If you are add photobucket to your whitelists and you should be able to upload

Hi thanks for reply however unfortunately I am not a 'Techhead' and don't really know what you are talking about, so I googled those words 'noscript and adblock' and I paste here an extract of what I saw:-


That problem is being worked around by putting NoScript’s domains, Google AdSense and a few others on NoScript’s default whitelist (again, the overwhelming majority of users won’t go hunting for bogus entries in their whitelist). Given that NoScript proudly calls itself a security extension this means putting users at risk — for example, a while ago I demonstrated how an XSS vulnerability on a NoScript domain can be used to run JavaScript from any website, despite NoScript. This was countered by implementing anti-XSS measures rather than removing anything unnecessary from the whitelist. You get an impression for the business model here. Of course, this approach brings NoScript in conflict with another popular extension — Adblock Plus. For years, NoScript has been using a trick to prevent Adblock Plus from working on its domains. Fixing this issue was never particularly high on my list of priorities (though I finally came around and fixed it after the recent events) so at some point I suggested that EasyList should be extended by a filter to block ads specifically on NoScript’s domains. This finally happened two weeks ago.
What followed was a small war — the website would add various tricks to prevent Adblock Plus with EasyList from blocking ads, EasyList kept adjusting filters. Then, a week ago a new NoScript version was released. A few days later I noticed first bug reports — apparently, Adblock Plus “glitches” were observed with this NoScript version, especially around NoScript’s domains (but not only those). When I investigated this issue I couldn’t believe my eyes. NoScript was extended by a piece of obfuscated (!) code to specifically target Adblock Plus and disable parts of its functionality. The issues caused by this manipulation were declared as “compatibility issues” in the NoScript forum, even now I still didn’t see any official admission of crippling Adblock Plus. Clearly, NoScript is moving from the gray area of adware into dark black area of scareware, making money at user’s expense at any cost.
All that looks a bit dodgy to me, are you sure its safe to do as you suggested if so I might have a go........

Are you using Firefox?
Try doing the same upload job using Explorer instead.
Do you experience the same "waiting" problem?

Hi biggins, I was using firefox. I tried IE but that was worse, it didn't even load the photobucket site. Strange. I know photobucket uses this 'java' stuff. So I went to 'control panel' on my computer looked at programmes and stripped out any Java stuff. I then installed new Java. Still have same problem - firefox loads site and my account but can't upload anything, that swirly things keeps swirling lol. And IE still doesn't load the site.!!
What else can I try, nothing too techy please !
