As of late I cannot view photobucket images on my mobile device, they just show up as blue boxes with question marks in them. I've tried everything I can think of and even factory reset my phone to no avail. Some I can click and open in photobucket which show up but others I can't click to open.

Any ideas?

Do the same pictures show properly on another device or computer?

The blue box with question marks sounds like a Java problem that i used to have when I was on android....i didn't think photobucket used Java tho

Let me post a photobucket pic a couple ways, let me know if you can see some or all of them





Do either or both show up?

I can see both pictures, windows desktop, and Samsung Tablet.

Neither of them show up. I could click the second one but not the first. When I clicked "back" both images showed up. None of the other photobucket images show up on the site though. I am on android and will try to check on another device.

Thanks for checking; if they're showing up for those of us with computers (or other mobile devices), then this points the finger at your device--rather than your Photobucket page.

I would say it's definately my device, but the big question is.......

How do I fix it?

I have an oddity with videos somewhat similar to that. When I first go to the page I can't see anything, refresh and it's there. When I use an alternate browser it's ok. Have you tried another browser?

what device are you using ?

I know some android based devices can have the option to "not to download pictures" in the embedded browser.

It's a Samsung S2 phone, everything was fine untill one day no photobucket images appeared. I tried factory resetting my phone and nothing changed. The second day after resetting they showed up but are now gone again.

Frustrating to say the least

curious, can you tell me what version of the Android software you have ? (settings - about this phone)

I suspect its the way photobucket now links the files that the browser you are using cant follow.

have you installed chrome on to it to try ?

Ed

It's android version 2.3.3.

I have not loaded or used chrome.

ok

click this link and see if it displays on your phone

if it works, then your browser doesn't support the new way photobucket does its images

if it doesn't, then somewhere in the security settings I suspect the photobucket site is blocked

If I click it I can see the image fine. Is there a way to update the browser on a mobile?

best thing to do is to install google chrome on your phone. you can do this from the google play store app on your phone.
