As a veteran PB user I am accustomed to their irritating ads, popups, etc. Lately things seem worse. The last few weeks when I have sent photos to PB I may get one or nothing at all. head bang

I have not tried to send more than 3 at a time. Have not gotten all 3 in weeks. Usually the first one goes through (eventually) but often the others never show. Repeating the send has not helped. Once I got the third one not the first two... Deadhorse

Considering we are now paying for this "wonderful service" I am not impressed. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? I am losing my patience. Violence

I have managed to get over 800 photos through the process in the past with the usual delays and ads but now it is getting to be useless. I will continue to try as many have told me they enjoy the pictures I post.

I have Meadowlark and Ortona pics on the way, I hope...

I am having the same trouble Steve. Sometimes I see the pictures, sometime I do NOT so see the pictures at all. I do not know what is going on. Dayne88 and DannyZ are posting photos and we cannot. First I thought it was a Microsoft problem, but you have an apple. I do not know what is going on.

Actually only a small fraction of the pix I try to send to PB make it through. I bite my lip and don't bitch and once in a while I actually do get a pic or 2 posted. To think that we actually PAY for this kind of service is ludicrous.

Good to know I'm not the only one. I wonder if Bill can send a formal complaint. I can't tell the number of hours I have wasted on that (almost) useless site.

Sadly, the memory savings to BM.com is significant or I wouldn't bother with this crap.

Obviously, I have tried to document my Barth trips and projects for the benefit of all our viewers, members or not. I do believe our archives are as good or better than any RV related site and I like to contribute. (My 454 engine swap is over 41,000 views now)

I would consider my own PB account if it worked any better but I'll be dammed if I'll pay for that kind of crap. Too bad.

I'll keep updating as long as I can stand it.

Thank for the feedback. I wish it made me feel better! head bang

I had less patience than you all. You have not seen pictures from me on a number of things I have done. I have enough %|$*&#% that I have to deal with at work. I get paid to deal with that $%&$*&*&*6087%(*67%&&. I have not complained not wanting to compound or encourage the complaints.

I enjoy all the pictures that have been shared. Isn't the saying "a picture paints 1000 words" True how true. I still am running into a whole bunch of spots where I get the PB icon saying pay me and don't show the pictures.

May I join the "I hate BP club" I found I can only send one Pic at a time and about 25% of those do not go into the folder. As Kevin knows MS "edge" will not work at all, I send my pics using Edge, but post using Explorer. head bang

Strange but I seem to be getting fewer ads than I did before!

The pics and the narrative SteveVW sends is fantastic, my Hero. Take a deep breath, drink a craft beer, cuss a bit but most of all keep doing your thing...

I just posted a pic from PB, it was in a folder already, ads went away in about 3 or 4 minutes, two or three stop script warnings and recover web page and wah-la!!

Mike the answer is persistence and perseverance. Sometimes it is the data connection where you are at. Sometimes it is the time of day. Sometimes it is LUCK.
