Title: ARGH!
Post by: Hi no Seijin on December 27, 2007, 03:00:03 PM
Would anyone know why Photobucket isn't working?  Everytime I try to go to a sub-album or to my account options, it makes me sign in again, and then it only takes me to back to my main album where it does the same thing again when I try to go somewhere on it.

Honestly though, I think it would be more your browser than the site, because I'm cruising the big bucket right now.

It's working fine for me.

It might be the internet connection or something... use IE instead of Firefox?

I'm using Opera, and Firefox isn't working for me (it isn't working for MasterKey either).  It works fine on IE, though (which I don't really like anyway, but I guess if I really want to post a pic, I'll just suck it up and use it).

Mmmhmm, this reminds me of the time when the layout at my old site(before it was randomly hacked and killed) wouldn't show on IE but it would view just fine on firefox or any other programs. I think they might just be having problems? idk

Theyre right its probably your browser, photobuckets working fine for me.

The problem is no longer a question of what browser I'm using.  Now it's just that Photobucket straight out hates me. :'(

You may want to consider uninstalling all your internet browsers, then reinstalling newer versions of each.

I tried uninstalling IE once, but it said some stuff might depend on it, and I didn't dare try to continue with the process.

Also, I'm guessing uninstalling the browser(s) will get rid of pages I have bookmarked?

Do you want links to sites on a broken browser, or do you want a browser that actually works properly?

Don't worry about the crap on 'stuff depending on it'. You can get that stuff back once you reinstall the browser(s)/program.

Also, remember to download new versions of the browsers BEFORE you uninstall them.

Since Firefox is my favorite browser, can I just worry about re-downloading that?
Title: Re:ARGH!
Post by: darkphantomime on December 27, 2007, 08:05:54 PM
Umm... Gee, I don't know, you'd need a BROWSER to download this stuff, but since all your BROWSERS are gonna be uninstalled, I think this one would be fairly obvious, don't you?

It's not like I'm going to uninstall all three and then try to install Firefox, JQ.  I may do stupid stuff, but I'm not that stupid.

Oh yeah, I didn't answer this question properly.

Anyway, go ahead and do that. I thought you said something along the lines of 'I guess I'll do that later... kaithxbai'.

it doesn't hate you, they were probably making a new layout or something, and it so it wouldn't view right on the other browsers, like my site's layout did on IE. so yea. might be the problem?

JQ, you uninstall/reinstall idea didn't work. :'(

Jdog, I doubt that.  BaconWarrior reported that Photobucket worked fine after I said it wouldn't let me log in.

Okay, what exactly happened when you got up to firefox?? I want you to be specific and detailed.

And Jdog, I think the administrators of a big, popular site would know a thing or two about coding for a variety of browsers.

I uninstalled Firefox, opened up IE to download it, downloaded it, saved the exe file to my desktop, and ran the program.  When I agreed to let Firefox open once the install was complete, the browser opened, then I got a window that there was a problem and asked if I wanted to send an error report or not.

MasterKey is apparently have some trouble with Firefox as well.  The next time I see him on AIM, I'll ask him to get over here and post what he's having trouble with.

Whatever you do, ignore the crappy warning message windows gives you when something crashes.

Just restart your computer and try the browser again. Might work.

Trust me, I tried that in the past.  It didn't work.

......

You just uninstalled, then reinstalled an integral program. Most programs will, by default, automatically restart your computer. So listen to the expert here, rather than go on some random intuition, k?

Well, smack me with the Foolish Hammer.

Urgh, forget it.  Opera is decent, and Photobucket isn't worth the hassle. :-*

I've been having some issues with Firefox lately. Sometimes it doesnt load, soemtimes it half loads, works, and then dies. I don't know anymore, it's pretty diseased. And don't get me started on Internet Explorer.

Uninstall/reinstall time?
