Sometimes pics upload and you don't know it. I've been getting an "upload fail" message, but then I find the pics when I click on "Recent Uploads"...it then takes forever for those pics to appear in the folder I uploaded them to...

I don't use that monster picture hoster often: it's too slow...
but got a correct uploaded gif pic to Zielitz-Wanderfalken topic. :zzzzz

My long time preference is a small german hoster > http://picr.de/
It works fine for me and all my pics uploaded since my entry to BCAW are still visible :snowflake2:

Thanks Ferenz!! I think its time I started researching another picture host...

Thanks Ferenz!!
I am going to try it :)

You are right MA-pics are in the folder but
pb doesn't list them. It stops @ 90% upload
and will not continue...

I am Glad you all talked about the Photobucket subject! I thought it was my computer/provider! Now I know it isn't! Thanks for discussing! :6snowflake:

By the way, I have only seen the yahoo and google "bots" when I have looked. They are usually on the Board Index page at the bottom with the forum members that are logged in.

Yep...I got rid of a couple of Bots..and am contemplating blocking the ahrefs bot. (I believe it crawls from Ukraine~can't remember..I've researched so many)...Even though it is crawling a lot (as well as bingbot) neither are draining our resources~knock on wood!!

I wished I'd checked here when I first started having PB problems a couple of days ago so I could see that it wasn't just me. I was hopeful a few minutes ago when the first capture I uploaded went with no problem, but now I'm trying to upload a second & am stuck at 90%. The strange thing is, the captures are uploading because each try shows up eventually & the duplicates have to be deleted. :girlsad3:

Yep...I'm still having issues..but, 99% of the time, the pics are uploaded whether PB says they are or not...so, I'm just ignoring all the "upload fail" messages. Sure wish they would get this fixed. According to some of the things I'm reading elsewhere, we aren't the only ones..

Since I knew the second picture was actually there, I cancelled the upload that said 90%, then refreshed the page, & at that point my capture appeared. Well, its better this happens now that at the height of nesting season! :gaaaaah:

Just for the record, PB is acting up AGAIN...at least for me. Pictures are actually uploading even though I get a fail message and most of the time I end up with duplicates, that are taking forever to delete...

Same for me. :girlsad3:

It also occurred to me that since there was a message on PB saying I have Ad Blocker activated, maybe that was causing the problem. So I deactivated Ad Blocker for the site but still ended up with the same problems. (Just to save somebody else this step if they haven't tried it yet.)

I finally got a generic response from PB...they are aware of the problems and are working on it.....

my pics are actually uploading, even though I continue to get the message "upload failed"...I'm also getting lots of duplicates..

Not really an issue, but what happened to "view active topics"? Miss that feature.

It is still there, at the upper left

I still have it...

Ok. It is there if I log in. It used to be there without having to log in and that stopped back in Jan. Thanks

catwoman · **Posted:** Fri Mar 11, 2016 3:12 pm

PB is doing the 90% complete again! Only this time, the upload isn't there. :furious:

It did this yesterday, too.
