Photo Bucket images not showing in posts

Post by BarryC »

Is anyone experiencing a problem with viewing posted images hosted on Photo Bucket?

When I open a post with "hosted" images they never appear and the Windows "loading circle" just grinds away and never loads images.

I can select the "image" link and it will open in Photo Bucket.

I host photos on Photo Bucket on another model site and they open without any delay.

Confused!!!

Haven't had any problems, but if you give me a thread where you've had trouble I'll try it and see what happens.

I am seeing this progress message while the "wait circle" is grinding away.

I'm not sure I understand that, but I'm still willing to help if I can. Exactly what thread did you have trouble with?

OK, I went to that thread and all the photos appeared as they should, and when I clicked on the first photo it took me to Photobucket where I was able to access Phantom680s entire library. That man sure does like the jets, eh? @) @) @)

So I'm not sure why you're having problems with pictures, but they seem to work OK from here. Hope that helps.

They're all working for me, too.

If you're running on Windows Barry, you can easily clear your DNS cache which can help if your computer can't load a particular site. Hold down the Windows key and hit R on your keyboard, then type ipconfig /flushdns in the dialogue box that pops up. That'll clear out any mistakes in the domain name server registry on your computer so Windows can find the website again.

I think I have a suggestion.
You seem to be loading the entire album instead of a specific image. That may be why it takes so long.
I usually find the image on PB, click on the little striped panel in the top right of the image, click on "SHARE" & then on the "DIRECT" tab.
Once back on here I use the "FULL EDITOR" & click on the "image" button (Img button) & paste the link into it.

I use imgur I prefer it to photo bucket, simply upload photo resize if you wish... tap on copy and paste on your thread

Thanks for all the suggestions.
