Photobucket & Other Photo Sites

[Bengt_Phorqs]

Does anyone else have trouble opening photos in Photobucket?  I have never, ever, been able to view a photo on photobucket.  It seems to take forever to load and then times out.  I don't believe it's a firewall issue because there are three laptops that I use and it's the same with them all.  Flickr is almost as bad.  I haven't posted any photos because I can't seem to find a site that is functional.

Any suggestions?

Hmmm...I use photobucket with great success.  Are all three laptops using the same router/internet connection?  Are you on dial-up?  

[Bengt_Phorqs]

No, one home laptop is on a DSL line, the other is on cable, and at work, it's a T3 line or whatever state of the art is.  No joy on any of them.

I found this link which might help....

Although the fact that you're having the same trouble on 3 different computers is a little puzzling...

Umm, Phorqs, what's wrong with this site?

Not a thing.  I can always access that site.  For example when Lou posted his wild west pix on photobucket though I can't download anything.  I'm pretty sure at my office it's a firewall issue and I'm OK with that since I'm not supposed to be surfing anyhow.

...how do i get my file sizes so small to post on coppermine?

I run my pics through PhotoShop to improve the image a bit or do some cropping, then resize them to about 5x7 inches. Transfer them to PhotoBucket and I'm golden for all sorts of image transfer needs, including R65,org.     Monte
