Default Is Photobucket Imploding?

I know there have been treads about Photobucket but my account has been fine. Lately Photobucket never seems to fully load and now all but 9 of my photos have disappeared. Is everyone/anyone having these issues, or is it just me? This site seems to be having continuous problems.

I don't use Photobucket, but recently I clicked on a member's guitar photos, hosted by Photobucket, and got hijacked to a product advert website. Got out of that, went back to the photos, and there were so many intrusive ads, I gave up.

Tried it after many years of having my own server. It was ridiculous to try and use it.

I signed up for Imgur and it's simple ,fast, and trouble-free.

Ever since AGF added direct inclusion of photos for charter members I haven't needed photobucket at all but I tried it and it's working fine for me.

Yes; and has been for some time. I wish I had bailed when it was only worthless or useless, but unfortunately I stuck with it until long after it became intrusive and damaging

I'm not familiar with this direct inclusion. Please explain.

Slow at times, pop ups are a PITA but they beat paying for the service. Otherwise works OK. Wonder if some browsers work better with the site than others.

I've used Photobucket for years and never had a problem, and that's using Safari on an iMac, and iCab mobile browser on both iPhone and iPad.

It definitely gets glitchy at times so I just checked loads fine and all my pics are there BUT it uploads great until 90% then just hangs there
Ok So I tried uploading three times and it hung on 90% . I had 205 pictures so I cleared some unneeded ones and some dups down to 194 and up loaded and it worked ok did not hang But this time it showed 100% but the picture did not show in my my "Bucket" so I checked "Recent Uploads" and all three pics were there ????

I attempted to register with Imgur and after filling in the blanks and clicking Register, I receive a blank screen
