Are you both on the same ISP - Vermin Mediocre, perchance?

Yep (For the time being at least).

My connection's been flakey for days as well - no internet for around 6 hours the other day

Apparently lots of people have been having problems with Photobucket this weekend.

I've been reading about it here

The 'net has been flaky worldwide for almost a week now.. big spikes in packet loss at times.

My laptop has a traffic health meter for Australia installed. It usually reads 80-85%. Over the last week it's been at 60% and lots of sites are sluggish. It appears to be possibly related to the ongoing Israeli attack on Gaza.

Until the issues are sorted, or if you want a more stable and easy (maybe TOO easy) place to stick photos, please feel free to use http://daftworks.co.uk/oomages

Thanks Selezen

Photobucket seems to be back online again

Has anyone else been experiencing problems uploading pictures on to Photobucket ?

I've not been able to upload anything for the past 2 days.

Today I tried to upload my first photos since your report. I noticed the layout has changed since my last login. The link also contains the word "beta".

Anyhow, with me all uploads stopped after 33%.

At the end I disabled "Ghostery" and than the problems were over. "Ghostery" found 16 hits that were blocked, so next tast is to figure out wich of the 16 I have to allow on their site. Unless someone already has figured it out and can post it here.

You should see an option to switch back to the old layout - I did that for a few days, and now it goes to the previous style (check your cookies).

I gave-up on Ghostery and the like.

I would recommend switching to Flickr.
