Does anyone else use photobucket to embed graphics & photos on DU?

I've been using it forever, without any problems. But just recently it's become useless, as
it won't copy in the "direct" mode or any other mode.

AND/OR ...

Can anyone recommend an alternative photo sharing website to use instead of photobucket?

Have you used up all the space they give you? MADem May 2016 #9
No, actually as I recall it's telling me I still have lots of room. 99th_Monkey May 2016 #10
Maybe try signing out and signing back in? Do a "clear cookies" as well? MADem May 2016 #11

thanks for doing that .. so it is "just me". LOL.

It's my own account that is fucked up, not the whole site.

I took the advice of that other guy (above) .. opened a new account there.

Too weird .. been using photobucket for like 10-12 years with NO problem
at all. Go figure.

You know the area on photobucket image...when you go to click on the image, it gets shaded over. Well, I play around with it for a few seconds until it lets me copy the 'img'. It usually works. That's the only way I can explain it. Sound nuts, I know, but it usually works ever time.

I took the advice of someone upstring about another photo
hosting website that seems workable so far.

But it is weird, esp since I've been using photobucket without
any problems whatsoever for like 10 years at least.

I posted a pic of my dog in The Lounge about an hour ago. It was way too large, took it with my phone, so I edited it, cropped it a little and made it smaller, and used the Direct link.

Thanks for the suggestion.
