can't access photobucket

photobucket.com could not be found. please check the name and try again.

i get this message when i try to log in to photobucket.com. i've used it for a long time to upload pics on the web and now i can't get into it. i found out when i tried to look at some pictures on a guitar forum i use. the picture links didn't show up on my pc. when i type in to my browser i get the can not be found message. whats up? i've had it bookmarked for months and never had a problem till today. thanks for any help.

have you tried to enter http://www.photobucket.com

or you can try to get to photobucket by clicking the link to the right ->Click here for Photo Bucket

I was just able to access Photobucket.

It may of been down for a bit. Have seen it happen before. Like you have said, the pics that Photobucket was hosting for you, did not show.
Same thing happened a while back. It seems to be up now.
Check again.

anything to do with photobucket i get the same message. i've tried everything and its going on 2 days. i've used it for months and never had a problem. others can access it so its not the site.

I wanted to tag along on this post, as I and the majority of the people on a BB I frequent have the same problem. The strange part is two or three of the members do not have any problem.

Also for your info: images posted on the board from photobucket do not appear, only the red X, for those having trouble.

Thanks,
Randall

Well Im not sure what it could be. But you all could try and clean out your browser cache. If you had not done so already.

Thanks, but I've done that, ran AV, two anti-spyware, checked restricted sites, added photobucket to trusted sites. I have not changed any security/firewall configurations.

Just for grins, I disabled anti-spyware, AV and firewall and still no luck.

This seemed to have happened to several users at the same time, while a few remain unaffected.

FYI: Your image after "----------" did not show, only the red X and "user posted image" appear. It's properties are listed as photobucket.

Have you tried to contact Photobucket at http://www.photobucket.com/feedback.php, and explain your problem to them.

The link you posted and any other pertaining to "Photobucket" that I (and others) have tried result in "page cannot be displayed."

Images I posted on the board that are accessed through Webshots are visible as are other's images from Imageshack, so I have to believe it has nothing to do with my settings.

Thanks, though.

i guess photobucket healed itself because its now working for me. all i did was ask questions on a bunch of forums. thanks for the help. i don't know if i'll ever know what actually happened to knock it off.

This link will explain why the site was available for some but not others.

This topic is pretty old, but it's close to my problem.

When I try to go to Photobucket.com I keep getting redirected to their Mobile Photobucket page (http://m.photobucket.com/).

So I can't access the normal page to upload some pics.

I can't figure out why this is happening...mostly cuz I'm not Web Smaht.

No problems with other sites.

[edit]: Nevermind..lol. I found a link on the Mobile Photobucket page for the "Non-Mobile Photobucket." The script was soo small that I missed it.
