Anyone Else Having Trouble Loggin Into Photobucket?
Free Republic ^ | 26 July 2012 | Windflier

Posted on 07/26/2012 9:00:24 PM PDT by Windflier

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?

I even checked my recent posting history here, to see whether the pics I’ve posted from Photobucket are still linked, and they are.

Weird...

Photobucket is working fine for me, nothing noticeably unusual.

No, just posted a new photo. All went well and was immediately available to friends.

Damn...why me? Did I offend the powers that be, or something?

I even closed my browser and rebooted, hoping that would help. Still nothing.

Mayhap you have, in fact, offended the Photobucket gods?

I just tried it, and it did ask for my password, which I don’t recall it ever doing before, but it accepted the pw and let me in.

I also use Firefox.

Clearing browser cache and cookies didn’t help.

My account’s got to be there. The pics I’ve posted here would de-link if my account was gone. This is really puzzling.

Cool, but did it open up to my photo collection, or did it open up on Photobucket's main page?

I have the same problem... Saz I don't have an account or won't let me in.
If you posted anything that is remotely anti gay, they cut your account. I posted a Chick-Fil-A graphic today and bingo.... No account or it's locked. It's happened before.CHIC 3 Moving to Flickr

No specific page. Just the opening page for Photo bucket.

Just have it reset your password and then change it back to yours.
