Have PB already closed their free accounts?.

I can't sign into mine.

Mine is still active.

My PB bookmark wouldn't work. All I kept getting was "Problem loading page" so I went to the PB site and signed in there.

Once it'd loaded, I could go to my library.

I wonder?

That pic is hosted on PB. I tried several ways to get it to show up and one thing that came up was something about image width. I tried my snipping tool (out of PB) but that didn't work either.

I copied the pic from PB and pasted the copied image in to an email, then re-copied it from there.

PB is abysmally slow at the moment. Lots of "The connection to the server was reset".

Time to kiss PB goodbye I think?

Trying to copy/paste a pic from PB brings up "Value 301.89453125 for attribute width of tag img is invalid" But copying it from an email seems to work. Does it show up for you?

No.

I couldn't find how to sign out of PB when I was posting the above. I just closed the page. I've just now gone back to PB by clicking my bookmark and after several of the above errors, the page opened without my signing in. It's very, very SLOW.

It seems very strange but my first two pics show up to me, but when I tried on my iPad, they didn't show up and I'd copied them from just opening them up on PB and they've showed up (to me) as smaller than the original..

I've tried a different method to copy them at the size I originally posted them. I copied the "direct link", then pasted that in to google and the pic showed up as the proper size.

I've copied a pic but I pasted it in to PaintShopPro first and saved it. Then uploaded it to imgur. Does it show up here OK?:-

Yes, nice doggie.😀

Finally, after about a dozen tries I've managed to log out of PB. Every time I clicked "Log out" it came up with an error.

Re: Photobucket.

margaret*e — Sun, 18 Mar 2018 22:37:02 GMT

I couldn't even log into it.

Re: Photobucket.

cee-dee — Sun, 18 Mar 2018 22:44:44 GMT

You have to keep trying. Like I said above, it's abysmally slow and keeps coming up with errors.

Re: Photobucket.

margaret*e — Sun, 18 Mar 2018 22:50:51 GMT

I'll try again tomorrow.

Gave up on PB years ago

I may well be barking up the wrong tree here and my apologies if I am.

One of Yahoos "News" items the other day was "UK on high alert for Russian cyber attack". Since then access to most sites I've visited has been slower than normal. Yesterday Pinterest, Glass Message Board, Pressglas, Ebid and Etsy were all slow to open. This morning after I entered my email password nothing happened for a couple of minutes before it opened.

It might be the weather, or it could be Edge (which seems prone to losing things) or bearing in mind that Yahoo news is often nothing of the sort, it might just be co-incidence. Or could it be that security has been stepped up and is slowing everything down?

You may be on to something there.

Yesterday I was notified that some National Lottery online accounts had been compromised and that I should change my password as my account was one of them.

The message was genuine and not a scam.
