Default What the hell's happened to Photobucket??

Spent the last 30+ minutes UNsuccessfully trying to load a video clip--they've got that place so loaded down with spam & ads now it's 100% unusable? I lost count of how many times I reset NoScript, Adblock & Ghostery all to no avail. At one point it locked my whole computer up where I thought I was going to have to force a re-start.

Any other options for temporary file uploads?

All done with Photobucket because of the pop ups etc. Check out Flickr. The only thing I don't like about it is they make you sign up through Yahoo and there isn't away to post pics to forums from your smart phone. Other than that, it has a TON more space and it's easy to use.

YOU JUST NEED TO DOWN LOAD AD BLOCKER PLUS...and it fixs everything wrong with PB..its free..and it changes everything about surfing the net...

its an extension that blocks pop ups etc..i was about to give up on PB..and found ABP and its better for me now than years ago.
