When I go to photobucket, the various link options under the pics are no longer there... Is this some type of bug, or did they make changes to the site?

Thanks!

Any computer pros know what might me wrong? In all my years of using photobucket, this has never happened. Under the pics there are no links or anything! Basically I have no way of copy and pasting image codes.

this really sucks... and has me worried...

this is really weird... Just did a full computer scan and nothing suspicious popped up. Photobucket opens fine, but I can't get links or codes for any pics on my site or anyone elses. The box just doesn't appear...

Looooooosiana!
You're probably in the "Recently Uploaded" section. Go to the folder in which the picture is located and your links should be there.

Had this happen to me last night also.

I had to use the Share option from the top of the scan, then get link code and copy the IMG code.

Also it wont let me save the option of mouse rollover, not sure whats going on either, but you can still get scans.

*EDIT*
I just used the option of having the links there all the time and that worked, weird!

I had to go and buy a new computer due to my last encounter with photobucket. I got 5 virus' at once. It killed my computer.

As for the links, you can click share and choose the get link code. That will work everytime

Ty, here is an image from your bucket that I copied the code from:

Are you using Firefox or IE? You might want to check for updates for both. Also, update Java in your Control Panel.

Click "My Home" at the top left.
Go to Account Settings.
Scroll down to Album Settings.
Click "Link Options".
Click "Always", then Save.

Yep. Almost got one on my work computer while on PB, but it was stopped.

Last Sat while at home on PB I picked up Antivirus Soft. Fake Anti Virus site that wanted my $. Blocked me from using IE and gave fake reports of all my files being infected. Everytime I tried to get into something it stopped me and displayed that message. Disabled my McAfee. Had a "adult" pop up as well. Glad the kids were in the other room. About an hour or so later I had it removed.
