I use the Firefox browser, and usually leave about six favorite tabs open all the time. I close Firefox, but not my tabs, when I shut my computer down at night.
When I open my browser, all of my favorite tabs are there. One of them is Photobucket. It's always set to my favorite page of images.
Tonight when I clicked on my Photobucket tab, instead of seeing my pics collection, I got their sign-in page. Ok, just press 'sign-in', and I should go to my account.
No bueno.
Photobucket keeps telling me that I'm using the wrong username or password, even though their sign-in block already has them in there. I've never changed my password or username, but I can't get in.
I even ran a search on my username, and only came up with a page of very old photos that I'd dumped there long ago.
I also use Ghostery, which shuts off tracking software. I thought it might be one of those causing the problem, so I turned a bunch of them back on. Still no bueno.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having difficulties there tonight?
It seems to be working OK now.
Interesting that you got to that image. It's in one my politically incorrect folders.
I'll go check my account again now. Thanks.
Oh wait....that image is from your account - not mine.
No, it's in one of my politically incorrect folders. The pics that show up under my handle are a few that I saved in there when I first created my account. I haven't looked at them in years, and I'm not even sure where I parked them.

It's working fine for me, though.
Hi Windy! My Photobucket account gave me the finger for a couple of days a week or two ago.
I wrote to customer service (because I have a paid account) and was told that there had been hacking problems and EVERYONE on PB had to change their passwords and use stronger ones.
I changed my password, but no dice. Wrote back about it, and they somehow cleared it all up, new password is working perfectly, and all is well.
Then I got a notice saying that I had requested a password change, but I had not, so I assume that the hack attack was still ongoing. I did not confirm the password change request, and that was the last problem I had with PB.
Well, except for the fact that they are slow as molasses.
Try writing to customer service and explain your woes in detail if you continue to have problems. They’re actually pretty good. Polite and nice, too.
Well, I gave it a rest overnight, and now I can get back in. I'm at my page, but I'm not signed in. I'll give that a try later, to see if all's ok. Crossing fingers.
Thanks for the info on their customer service.
You’re welcome, darlin’!
