Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Photobucket Rage/Rant

No it won't. I took 6 pics "right now" , saved them to my computer , uploaded to Photo Bucket. Two of the pictures ended up in the middle of page 32 of my pictures on Photo Bucket and the other 4 pictures were in the middle of page 33.

Well, that is odd.

My PB account stores pics in order of when they were taken/stored on my computer.

I also do not have individual pages on my account(new version). Just have to scroll down to get through the library.

Your's is obviously setup differently.

I've recently received a couple of emails from Photobucket concerning their new format, one on which was a survey requesting user input/suggestions on their new changes.

I would assume other Photobucket users have received this same email survey as well.

I know I don't use Photobucket nearly as much as I used to.

An odd problem I've been having for some time now is whenever I post multiple photo's stored in my Photobucket album to a post at 24HourCampfire, the photo's show up in my post lined up horizontally rather than stacked vertically like other members photo's do.

I can't figure out whether this is a problem with my own PC settings, settings at Photobucket, or the Campfire settings.

I can post YouTube video's one after another and they always stack up vertically as they should but for some reason my own photo's do not.

I gave up on photobucket a couple of years ago and switched to imageshack.....

Setup albums, download pictures to PB then put in album. You know what your looking for so you can go to that album and there they are. I didn't like it when they changed to the new format either, but once everything was put into albums its fine.

Good and helpful post - you beat me to the suggestion. This is what I had to do with the "new" PB setup in order to track my stuff - seems to work fine. Just takes a bit of getting oriented - and more time. Try it - good luck.

I've got the PB premier account that you do pay an annual fee for. The recent PB layout change did NOT make me very happy but have learned, as mentioned above, to navigate the new configuration. When you set up your PB account with albums and sub-albums you have a lot better organization and ability to find the stored pictures you want.

Dang that sucks. I changed it but got it back, if I understand it it changes for everyone. Perhaps I too will move my stuff.

Never had a problem with the new format..didnt like it at first but it works fine if you spend 5 min learning how to use it..folks like to bitch tho i guess

I have a Premier account and find out that there is no more slide show.I do not mind paying and as soon as I find a site that is user friendly,I am bailing!!!

Emailing PB customer support ,they told me the contract for the old version ran out with no renewal so only the new version is accesible now.

Here is the link to hier customer suppot.

Meaning that when you buy a product, you're paying for the costs (including advertising) of producing, marketing, and distributing that product.

If you don't buy a product, you're not paying for any of those costs, including advertising. If you don't buy a product, but you use Photobucket, you're not paying for Photobucket.

Ha true, but I think people are just wondering why photobucket wasted time and effort to make it less user friendly.

Just tried the new configuration.

Clicked on the "Library" tab up top, there appeared a familiar list of albums. Opened one at random to test, opened a single image from it at random to test. There it was, with URL to cut and paste.



Seems to work fine.

Yes, I also wonder why they did that. I don't feel entitled to rage/rant about it though. I'll either figure it out or move on to another free service.

If you have more than 50 pictures stored, it isn't so easy. It can take several hours to open your library to view or copy any of those pictures. Since the new format, I haven't gotten more than halfway through the library, and while the pictures are trying to download in your computer, it slows your whole computer down. It still sucks, free or not...

I agree with the above. If you're like me though, you've uploaded a few hundred photos that you haven't touched in years. I'm not sure it's their responsibility to provide unlimited storage to everyone who wants it, but the marketplace will dictate, as it should.

In other words, if/when people get fed up with it, they can vote with their feet. Or just stay there, put up with it, and rant/rage.

I believe the new changes to Photobucket were brought about to enhance the imbedded penis detection software the company uses


while it may slow down the service and causes some "issues" it will protect the world when miles mass uploads the Campfire Hog Hunt afterparty pics

actually, I was simply hoping for a generic "i hate retards"

but that'll work

If the album is huge (like one of mine is) then it's impossible to get to the middle of the album, the computer will lock up or photobucket will reset. You can set the settings to read oldest to newest or newest to oldest, so you can get to your oldest or newest, but those ones in the middle of the album... forget about it, unless you have all day to try, and retry, and try again....

The new photobucket sucks bad.
