New Photobucket

[zeldabjr]

I'm wondering if anyone else is having trouble using the "new" Photobucket?...I can't seem to get the 'image URL' to come up for any of the pics...

You have to go into your User Settings/Albums & include the image URL as one of your links (IMG code). Alos make sure you go to User Settings/Privacy & tick that you don't want your file names scrambled otherwise when you upload a file it will not be called tim.jpg but tim.gibberish stream of letters jpg & at the moment files can't be renamed (they say this is 'coming soon').

My major problem with it is its refusal to list the photos in alphabetical order even though it says it does. At the moment I am viewing them as 'newest first' because that is the only option that makes any sense. I was looking forward to the new edit function for making signatures because before they ditched the old version there were a lot of interesting effects & a stack of new fonts. When I tried it yesterday the range of fonts is very limited & the effects aren't very interesting.

I hate the bland grey background & I miss having my own custom design. I do hope they bring that back.

I agree with you on all counts, FP. Very disappointed with the "effects" for sigs & avs. Unless I'm missing something you can't make collages anymore. They do have the Stories function but, it's not the same as a true collage.

I didn't know they ever had those features! I make mine in Powerpoint and SnagIt, just cuz I'm geeky like that...

Maybe I should try those.

I was on it and changed back to the old version because the new one kept freezing up on me. Am I getting it that I'm going to have to change now?

They told me they would change me over permanently on 3/18, and then did it earlier this week.

It keeps freezing on me too!

I don't know why they have to change things...I loved the old Photobucket..had learned how to use it and could get a pic onto it and onto the message board quickly...not anymore!

I like it generally when a site changes (I've always liked the Facebook changes to keep it exciting, but hate bugs though) but this new Photobucket site is a definite exception. It's cluttered and confusing as heck. And now that its out of beta there is no way to go back...

Facebook is getting ready to make it's hugest redesign since it was introduced, and I know most will hate it but it actually looks good to me. We will see. I'm on the list to try it out.
