photobucket

[deebee]

does anyone know why photobucket will not upload pictures from my brand spanking new all singing all dancing windows vista lap top?

its driving me nuts. i get as far as highlighting them, press open or d.click then the photo window just closes and the photobucket window prompts me to choose files like i had done nothing

could it be that photobucket doesnt support vista?

i have vista on this and it works fine with PB so... don't know what it is i'm afraid, but it's not the vista, if that helps.

boooger. cant think what it is then, works on my (old)pc just fine, not on this thing. oh well, thanks for putting me straight on the vista thing.

You haven't got your security set to high have you ??
The upload only works on a maximum setting of medium.
Also you have to allow cookies.

err,  put on zone alarm and puter acted silly so uninstalled and downloaded norton which i bought with laptop.  cant see where it allows tweeking settings. just says 'you are protected'.  i think i need some physical being here who knows what their doing.

thanks all

norton caused me looooads of problems when i used to have it.... was before i used photobucket and can't remember what it did to my puter now... i use AVG.

i have been norton averse since i can remember but i had heard that it was alot better now. we'll see. photobucket wouldnt upload when i had avast (still do, it wont uninstall) and zone alarm.

i only wanted to post a picture of some bones lol.

they stuck avast on mine after it went to the computer doctors (not this one) - can't remember now if i uninstalled it, or if it just uninstalled itself after a while (she says helpfully  ) - was a couple of years ago.

is cos PB is stooopid!! seriously stooopid is still doing all sorts of silly things when i try upload pics - so have come to conclusion PB is STOOPID

it stops after a while if you have the free version, you need to reapply if you want to keep using it

I use Avast on both of my computers & have no problems ( uninstalled Norton as it uses a lot of resources)
