Came back - and my avatar is back, but not MD's. So I tried to go to photobucket - still not there. Then came back here and Mike's avatar is back. I don't know...think I'll have a cold beer. rd

I'm hosed, too. My bookmark doesn't work, and when I type into the address bar I get the same thing - www.atspace.com. My avatar doesn't show, and most others don't either. Weird. This is what the page says: quote: Last night Photobucket.com DNS at register.com was hacked by malicious people that are trying to compromise our business!
We are in no way affiliated with such bad deeds and cooperate with photobucket in capturing these individuals.
They have pointed the domain photobucket.com to an account hosted on our systems!
We have blocked that and photobucked techs have restored the domain pointing to its original location!
Unfortunately the complete DNS replication usually takes 24-48 hours and during this time caches DNS records might still point to us!
The normal operation of Photobucket is restored and as soon as the replication is complete there should be no further such issues!
We would like to emphasize that we are in now way responsible for what happens with photobucket and all users bumping across our systems!
We are a legitimate web hosting company operating since 2003 and in no way tolerate such hacking attempts!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at abuse@zettahost.com!
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
Web Hosting Tips
And this is allegedly the explanation of ongoing difficulties from Photobucket: quote: "On Tuesday afternoon, some users that typed in the Photobucket.com URL were temporarily redirected to an incorrect page due to an error in our DNS hosting services. The error was fixed within an hour of its discovery. 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. If you still do not have access to Photobucket, please try rebooting your computer. If this does not resolve the issue, please try again later, as the redirect may still be cached in your ISP's DNS files. Depending on the ISP, it may take up to 72 hours (or longer) for their DNS cache to be cleared (or for it to expire), so you should consider contacting them to see if anything can be expedited. Unfortunately, Photobucket can not do anything to help speed up the process. It is completely out of our control at this point. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience that this may be causing you. We thank you for your patience, and appreciate your understanding. Sincerely, Your Photobucket Support Team"
Can someone who is getting into PB post a link to the main page?
