Photobucket changed a while back and they got rid of their bulk uploader. It has been painfully slow for ages.
I use dropshots now.

  I have thought about changing to another host but I don't want to lose the photos I have with photobucket.

I signed up for flickr after getting the shits with photobucket. Turns out that Flickr is even less co-operative...

  Is it possible to transfer your photos from one to another?

I'm not having any trouble with photobucket.
I can still see the bulk uploader tag although I often just use the normal uploader and choose multiple files.
I had trouble when I had a slow connection but now we have some speed it's no drama.

Are you guys trying to upload from a computer or phone/tablet?
I suspect the drama's will be with the phone/tablet

  Geoff I am trying from my home computer and had no problems until just recently.  Now I might try for 2 or 3 days before I can get the bloody thing to open, frustrating.

Yes it does not like a slow connection that's for sure, stalls very quickly if on a slow connection.

I had a major problem with it,,finally figured it, well my prob anyhow.
I had installed the "Auto backup" facility on my laptop,,,big mistake,, all of my stuff is wireless networked and it sent the feature to my phone and continually uploaded , backed up every happy snap I took, over and over and over again,
and made using it on my high speed laptop slow as well, for some reason.
every time I tried to take a pic with my phone and upload it,,,,it would instead upload my entire phone camera inventory again, and again etc, etc, some pics were uploaded say 50 times plus.
I turned the feature OFF everywhere,,,but,,,,,

Did I tell you the bit about it sending me insane?
Anyhow, I uninstalled the feature from everything, and just log on now through a link address and it is flying again ::) well that's my experience.

Oh that's right, the next speed up was when I hooked up the 99 cents US a month direct debit to have
"Add Free" access
Now it truly flies again.
