Photobucket now insists one turn off ad-blockers to access the site.

I did that yesterday - and was immediately bombed by flashing messages of "Your computer is blocked" etc - cascading all over the screen.

it too me a couple hours to clean up my computer - apparently Photobucket is cooperating with malware or has been hacked by rafts of malware.

fyi, and all that....

I don't "use" Photobucket anymore either - they did the ransomware thing, then un-grandfathered accounts to "lower your limit or pay" - they simply cannot be trusted, I'm wondering how much longer they'll have the lights on.



there are a few forums that (still) don't take direct uploads. couldn't get the hang of postimages - imgbb seem straightforward enough
