1
Go to the Photobucket website and enter the person's email address and click the "Search" button. Photobucket will bring up any media uploaded using the account attached to that email address. If you cannot find the person's account using this method, it may mean he used a different email address.

2
Remove everything from the web address after the last slash (/) to locate a user's photo albums using a link to a photo in the person's Photobucket account. Copy and paste the rest of the address in the address bar and press the "Enter" key. The letters between the last two slashes are the person's Photobucket username.

Enter the person's Photobucket username in the search box in the upper-right corner and select "Username" from the pull-down menu on the right side of the search box. If you do not know the person's Photobucket username, but you know their username somewhere else, search for that username. People often use the same username across multiple sites. If you cannot find them, call them to ask them for their username.

Enter the person's first name or nickname in the search box in the upper-right corner. Photobucket will bring up any photos that include that name in the description. If the person you are searching for has a common name, because of the number of results you are likely to get, this method will probably not yield useful information. This method is useful if the person's name is unusual.
