Quoting the link I posted previously:
"I thought I'd recap to save new visitors having to wade through all the posts....

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, but due to the nature of the problem, some users will not have access to Photobucket for a few hours as the fix rolls 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.

Please try doing a DNS Flush on your computer.

You may also want to reboot your modem and/or router.

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.

If you have additional questions or comments, please use the 'contact us' link at the bottom of the page to send an email."
