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.
