PhotoBucket's new "improved" site....

New "improvements" for websites can be annoying like this. Yahoo has pretty recently changed, and I don't like it. Unfortunately, I don't know of any other sites like Photobucket to use. I've been using that for three years.

 

Flickr.

 

Just use dropbox it is tied into your computer and is just a folder you store everything in the cloud. Easy to link to a photo for posting here. Does dump you into a site to view a image.

I liked photobucket but now it forced me to switch to the new version. It freezes up too much. I told them when I switched back to original (when that was still an option) but they didn't bother fixing that before the forced switch.

 

I told them on a regular basis as a long-time member they were screwing it up. They were motivated by whoknowswhat.

 

All of our pics are on one page now that scrolls down,.. it looks like? Doesn't bother my system, but then I have 24 gb of memory and an overclocked quad core CPU so maybe it's better equipped to handle newer apps. I have an older dual core system also with only 4 gb of RAM, and I find that it really struggles with newer applications. Time to upgrade again! :eusa_doh:

 

I feel your pain, DC! I've been struggling with it recently as well, but I've not yet had the time to look at the other options.

Why is it that just about every site that provides a service starts out nice and clean and works well, and eventually they do a makeover that ruins it all? It's been like that since the Internet went public! One of the few exceptions has been Amazon. (I will say that sometimes I miss the Amazon feature that gave you an ongoing tally of how much money you've spent there, but I can see why Amazon would have rethought that one. I'm not sure I really want to know, either!)

Cheers,

I too am not thrilled about the recent changes to Photobucket.

So few people nowadays believe if something ain't broke, it don't need to be fixed!

 

i use tiny pic easier than flikr too IMHO.

 

Be sure all your pics are in albums with the privacy settings you are comfortable with.
Upload new photos to albums not the main library. Or they will be accessible to the public.

Can't stand the new Photobucket. It seems the strategy was to make it a pain to have individual albums that are private.

 

they've dropped the 'every album scrolling on one page' thing which was slow loading, and gone back to numbered pages which you can flick through.
i can't see any problem with it now.
