 "Image" in place of actual image ??
sorry to disrupt your regularly scheduled browsing:
my PC has been displaying the word "Image" in place of the actual Jpg lately. I have tried cache/ cookies cleanse and no luck.
I think this has been discussed before, is anyone having this problem or can help me?
thx

 Re: "Image" in place of actual image ??
Have you tried right clicking the word Image and clicking on "View Image" or something of that nature? I'm having the same problem, but I think mine is much greater than this.

Weird, I get the same thing, but I can't figure out what's going on. When I change my network I can access it just fine. Who is your internet provider?

First I'd try a different browser, just to see if you dont have some extension active that's blocking them for some strange reason. It could be your ISP filtering content, but i seriously doubt they'd block photobucket.

My DNS is giving out bad addresses when I try to go to photobucket, I probably wouldn't have noticed this problem if it were another site. Tavaro if you're on comcast, that might be your problem.

Bizarre. I think comcast was one of the providers that agreed recently to filter child pornography, maybe it was just easier for them to block the whole of photobucket  Or photobucket made a DNS change that's not propagated yet.

 Re: "Image" in place of actual image ??
Now I'm having this problem as well (also Comcast). This only started since maybe yesterday.
When I try to access the photobucket page, I get bounced to another page. It seems like we're being misrouted to the pages, so my instinct is that legoomba may be right about the DNS error.

 Re: "Image" in place of actual image ??
the IT guy at my office did some research and told me photobucket is down for most of LA right now... I guess some hackers changed the PB address to point to this crappy adspace/ award space website to get it more hits..  hope this is back to normal soon, I cant even see user avatars!
