Photobucket has it's problems, mostly as stated, flash is slowly dying, and
it's a good thing.... As Steve Jobs said years ago, computers have had the ability
to do native video for years, but flash has a strong foothold. Photobucket loads
more and more scripts with each year. It slows down computers, as does the flash
interface.

Imgur I can't use on this computer, It thinks my machine is a mobile device
and sends it to something that won't display. I have for my VK use mostly
a ibook G4, long abandoned by apple, and firefox. And I keep NoScript on it
to keep some scripts from stopping the machine in it's tracks, and ads from
scrolling across the entire screen, which really slow it down. This ibook, is last
supported fully by ff 3.6.28 and they are now up to something like 40.

I know for smartphones javascript is not as well implemented as it is on
desktops. And then there is flash, not supported by some, and supported by
others.... On the flip side, html5 is pretty complex, and yet html 2 and 4
still need to be supported, so, not everything is supported simply because of
the size of the program.... Can you imagine downloading a new browser
to your smartphone each week when a new security problem comes up...?
People would scream at the data charges..... Last month I think there was a
flash update each week to my newer machine because of security problems....
So as it has been, as it will be, all devices are not supported....
The sooner flash dies the better.....

My newer laptop running a newer OSX and ff 39 or 40 or whatever they
are up to can work on all the photo sites, it's a real treat to use.....

It's a transition mostly from flash to html 5, for a while some stuff is going to
work better than others....

And you know it's because of advertising and tracking that they all can't just
do a simple file upload interface that is html 4 based.....

Anyway, EM nice work and good improvement on the picture on that set !
