It was working fine for me earlier, but now it won't show the large versions of my most recently uploaded images. It's also incredibly slow and failing every upload I try. After six months of cluelessness from Photobucket earlier this year I really thought they'd got their act together. Apologies if any of my images are currently missing - I'm sure they'll be back soon. Strangely, I had no problems with the site last week when they warned of possible problems during maintenance!

Edit: It looks like I may have jumped the gun in condemning Photobucket. They have actually posted something useful on their Facebook page (they obviously don't mind when it's someone else's fault!):
We are aware of the DDOS attack that has been affecting many sites today. The Photobucket site is up-and-running. However, it is possible that some ISP’s may be slow to resolve across all of Dyn’s (DNS Provider) available servers. Some users may experience intermittent connectivity.
They also provide a link to an article explaining what happened.
