Photobucket, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ! (small rant included)
Well ive been using Photobucket as hosting for my photos for ages now, they released a new version a while back and i didn't like it, but you still had the option to use the OLD version, so no problem.
Now, it appears the old option is now not available, and i find the new version is just "unuseable" for me, is it just me, or is anyone else having these same problems ?
When i upload pics its OK, but, they do not appear at the top of my album (as in, latest upload to the top, first page), instead , due to the new 2 column system and order, they end up 2 or 3 pages away.
Some of the new image thumbnails are NOT of the full image, they are a zoomed in/cropped version, and worse, it appears it does not take this sample/thumbnail of the image from the centre of your pic, so when you have a heap of pics with sky or water, it will get very confusing as they can all look the same.
Normally id scroll over a pic to get the link for posting, and one click later the image code/link is copied and i can paste on a forum.
With the new PB, i have to "search" for the pic (because its not at the top), scroll over it, then click on the "gear" symbol that pops up, then a menu appears, this menu is so big, on my little netbook, i have to scroll down to get see the bottom of the menu, then i can copy the image code, and then, "finally" paste it on a forum.
Either im missing something here, or this is just one big FAIL from Photobucket, i feel we may be parting ways very soon, im going to take a look at Flicker i think, what other pic hosting/sharing sites do you guys use or recommend?

Yeah, same here, told em I didn't want the new version, but now you have no choice.
They asked me why and I told em it doesn't work full stop.
Now I'm also stuck with the new version that some spikey haired dude has thought up!!
Cheers, the ferret.

Agreed I dred next week when it changes full time :/
I hate the fact too that it's now in one continuous list. Before it was at least in pages so I had a clue where to look to find something.
Now I'm having to reorganise them into sub albums , and even that's a pain as I've linked so many to forums grrr

I guess they're a victim of their own success. I can't imagine how many millions of pics they must be handling. So now they've simplified the bloody thing too far grrr

I do not like it either, the only good thing is the automatic upload from your phone camera to Photobucket
If any members require assistance in anything regarding this forum, just let me know via a PM and I will help you in any way that I can.

Are there other hosting sites. I have had a few pictures deleted from photobucket because some prude thought that they were offensive.... BTW, they weren't.
