There has been an ongoing set of problems much of the month of August, see this thread:
http://form.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=48010(The Question and Answers forum is one of the fora for PBase specific problems and generally a more appropriate place for PBase questions than this forum which is nominally for "Technical questions about photography.")
There are several other threads in the Q&A forum related to slowness, errors, upload problems, etc. A week or so back there was a major issue related to scrambled DNS server settings that is claimed to be addressed and taken care of, but there are several other problems which may or may not be related. A number of user utility functions appear degraded, and response by The Management(tm) to emails to
support@pbase.com is negligible, sad to say.
