View Full Version : The "new and improved" Photobucket
Anybody here use Photobucket? Or am I the last one? Ever since they switched to the "new and improved" version, I just want to scream! I swear it's more fucked-up than it's ever been, and it makes me crazy. I'd like to take everyone in that company who's responsible for any part of the changes, line them up on the ground, and walk up and down the line kicking each one in the balls, repeatedly. ASSHOLES!!!!
It's like they don't give a shit about regular folks anymore, only those who upgrade to newer, faster, more powerful computers and internet connections every year, and the rest of us can go pound sand. If I could move my entire library from there to somewhere else in one quick, painless swoop, I'd do it. Grrrr.
yep the new one sucks, I ran the old one until it made me change to the great new crappy one....

I only use it to upload photos that I put on here. I use it so rarely that I didn't even realize it changed.

Funny story. One of my clients and a buddy designed photobucket and sold it to NewsCorp for a small fortune back in 07.
Back on optic, I only use th mobile app anymore. Haven't noticed any changes.
Could be worse, Long time Picasa user and Google completely fuxored that up.
Hard to complain about free shit though.
Never used it. For the longest time Photobucket was the slowest photo hosting site to load on my computer(s).

At least if IS free.[Beer]
I used Picasa until my phone stopped uploading to it. I guess Google changed something. Now I'm having the problem where I accidentally selected to have my phone automatically upload photos to Google+. Now, I have to go on there and erase all the ones I don't want on there, and when I DO want something on there, it doesn't upload it!

Have not been able to log on since the change.
It just keeps trying to load a blank page.
Can't even get in, to get the address/copy, the pictures I have on there. [Mad]
Free isn't any good....if it doesn't work.
At least if IS free.[Beer]
Free Hell, I have a Pro account with umpty buttloads of storage space and I PAY for it! I probably don't have 5% of my space used and it's so damned slow, I couldn't imagine having it even 20% full, let alone ALL full.

^^^^ This.
I've been considering going back to hunt101.com for my pics it is simple like photobucket used to be, but it would be a pia to move them all there now...
Yeah I use it and pay for the pro version also. I would dump it but I have a number of build threads on other forums with 1000's and 1000's of pictures that I would hate to lose. I just deal with it.
Amazon EC2 + thttpd.. problem solved.
Yup I hate the new version [pileoshit]
Perfect description of it - a steaming load!
