Photobucket glitch sends some users to another site
Some Photobucket users trying to access the site on Tuesday afternoon were sent to an incorrect page as a result of an error in the site's DNS hosting services, according to an e-mail from the Photobucket support team.
The error was fixed within an hour, but some users were not expected to regain access to the site for a few hours as the fix was rolled out.
"It is important to note that only a portion of Photobucket users encountered the problem and that no Photobucket content, password information or other personal information was affected by the redirect," the e-mail said.

- Well, it's Wednesday morning at 9:53 a.m PDT and photobucket is still down.

- It's interesting that this piece made no mention of the fact that this mysterious re-direct was immediately preceded by the appearance of a message from an alleged Turkish hacker group, informing the world that Photobucket had been hacked by said group.

- Well, considering this was just posted an HOUR ago, and it said it could take users a COUPLE OF HOURS to see the fix.... perhaps some patience should be put in place? I still don't have access either, and I know a few who don't either. Just wait it out!
