KyleR Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) So I was trying to upload a screenshot to Photobucket earlier for a post on here and for some reason unbeknown to me it wouldn't show up in my photo album in iOS to be uploaded. Quickly emailed it to myself and uploaded it via the laptop and all was fine, but I decided to try Imgur that a few people blast on about being so amazing and Photobucket being awful etc etc. Signed up on the website, all seemed fine, then downloaded the iOS app and logged in to be met with absolutely no images showing anywhere. Anyone else having this issue? Is it a common thing, or just a coincidence that I signed up and it's broken? Images hosted by Photobucket, because it actually works... mostly lol Edited February 9, 2017 by KyleR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I was trying to use Flickr after Imgur, but the frigging app doesn't have BBcode for forums ffs Give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I just clicked the little man shaped icon in the bottom right and all my photos appear? But yes I got all the images come up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Photobucket as a desktop based platform is utter tosh - over run with advertising and has become so slow its farcical. Imgur on desktop is really clean, fast and relatively ad free. I rarely use apps to upload photos etc mostly do all my photo work on desktop so never really aware of how good or bad an app version is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I just clicked the little man shaped icon in the bottom right and all my photos appear? But yes I got all the images come up... Made a post, clicked the man, and same thing as the other screenshots, just greyed out Photobucket is a bit slow, I admit, but it works and I only get one ad per log in. EDIT: Desktop works fine, only the app is on hiatus. Edited February 9, 2017 by KyleR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 On another thread chatting with Dan I took a screen grab of my photo bucket which showed no less than 3 adverts on just the library page in one go - not including the splash adverts I get when I log in. PB is definitely slower and more advert dominant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a load of posts from a year or so ago about the same issue only with iTunes app and setting the time and date to the correct time fixed it, however my time and date is fine and set to auto, so I'm completely baffled.

Cant have ad blockers on my laptop at work so lumbered with it. At home have an ad blocker but sites are cottoning on to this and restricting content if you block ads (as the ads fund the site) so it wont be long before most free sites will ask to disable your ad-blocker. I would rather start out on and use one that at least (for now) has a lower ad environment than PB. I think most of us agreed that PB is slower and has more ads on the previous thread about PB dying - but that the app wasn't so good.

Stutopia Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I think i'm in love with Imgur on desktop with ABP. Really clean and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few sites warning of Adblock being detected and to turn it off to view etc, but a lot of the time you can scroll past it Even if I can't I pause it to use the site or select it not to run on that particular site if I use it often. I can't disagree with PB being slow, it can be at times and from a quick look at Imgur it appears good, it's just a shame I can't get the app working right now or I would have probably been convinced.
