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. :frown:
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?
