So I use photobucket regularlyfor work and sharing photos on forums.
They have had a beta site for ages but now they have forced everyone onto it.
So first issue is that you cant seem to link to images now and have them come up on their own just as an image... instead it always takes you to their website.
Second... you cant enlarge or view full size images!
Rubbish.
anyone else equally as stuck with it?
-
Yeh I don't use it that much, just uploading pics for forums, but noticed this beta site. Changed back to the original with a warning that soon I'd have to use the new one.
Sucks really, can't put my finger on it but it's just harder work now.
-
I tried the Beta and then moved back to the original.
Seems like they have broken it. :sick:
-
Its a flipping pain... worked fine before but not being able to link to full size images is pretty stupid and forcing all links to go to photobucket is rude lol
what other photo sharing alternatives are there?
-
Flickr is ok if a little clunky.
Might try another of the free ones.

Seems to work fine?
-
I use tinypic.com and have no problems with it. I think it's run by photobucket but not 100% sure on that.
-
I use Photobucket at lot and their latest version is a PITA to use, navigate around and edit on. :fighting:

What MC71 said.
I personally don't like it and have reverted to the old version.

but this before used to open in its own window just as the picture... now its on photobuckets site and you try to view it full size!?

Think you have 12 days before they force you onto the new one so I just moved over today anyway as I needed to do some bits... only to find it doesnt work.

I switched over a while ago and am used to the new version without any problems other than the Organize option isn't working yet. I find that some actions are easier and a big improvement. I have the Plus (was NewPro) version.
-
I've hated the changes they made since 2005. It just gets harder and harder to just upload and share.

I only use it to link the source to post the images on forums etc.

I haven't noticed the site upgrade until now. Photobucket have a handy iPhone app I always tend to use.

Im also a pro user for increased bandwidth and storage space.
The upload side of things seems ok but the options for links for forums and web are worse and like I say the biggest thing is it not linking to full size images but pushing you back to their own browser.

The picture above opens to a full size pic, it is NOT a thumbnail link to Photbucket's website. What part didn't work. Also somebody complained in an earlier post that they couldn't see the IMG link. That's there too!!

No - just to share on forums. In the olden days, you had say 20-30 pics on a page and each had the urls immediately underneath it. You could copy and paste urls quickly and easily. Now I have to select an image and then be able to see its url. Much more convoluted.

Nope not copying the wrong bit....
You copy the code that is 'IMG Thumb' so it gives you a thumbnail image that links to the bigger image. On the old site the 'bigger image' was the full size image opened in a new broswer window on its own (not on photobuckets site.
With the new site the 'bigger image' is a downsized image on their own site.
I cant find a way to link it to a full size image
-
This is the img code... I uploaded that as a full size image from my nikon d90... its a massive image.. there is no way of linking the full size photo

but you paste that link in your browser and instead of just opening the image it opens a photobucket page

Ooh are you a fan of Aircraft Carrier's/Navy boats/etc? I work for a hydraulic engineering firm that are supplying the aircraft lifts (and other equipment) for the new 'Super' Carriers the Queen Elizabeth Class. Awesome boats, even better when you are involved in their beginning/build. :-)
Sorry for the tangent Jedi. ;-)

I guess so. I was more intrigued by this one as it's the USS George Bush that was parked in the Solent a few years ago.
It was just a random album I picked on Photobucket to show you could select and get links for more than one picture at a time. :happy2:

Try and see if you can work out how to link to full size photos :)

As Ian says, this forum automatically limits their viewed size.
-
Ha ok you guys dont seem to get it.
Im not just talking about this forum and how it displays the photos... and incidentally thats not the forum resizing the photo thats photobucket resizing it.
I mean before if youd clicked on that thumbnail you would have opened the full size image which is 3216 × 2136. I uploaded that 3216 × 2136 image to photobucket. Now show me where I can view the 3216 × 2136 image like I used to be able to. Thats a web copy photobucket have made.

see this was uploaded before the new site....

and if you right click and 'open in new tab' it opens a the image full size at 1200x800. (at least it does on my laptop)
But if you do the same on that other wheel image it SHOULD open the same but with the 3000x2000 whatever it was dimensions... but it takes you to photobucket instead.. Useless for when your selling things and wanting to show large detailed photos.

Just had this reply from photobucket... seems they are now always going to link you back to their site and for some reason their idea of a full size image is about 900px wide and suggest just using the browser zoom function!
Hi Nathan,
Thanks for your email and I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
We have changed our linking rules so that when a linked image is clicked, it opens on Photobucket.com, as opposed to being opened as separate full-size image. This was a business decision that we made, I'm sorry that this wasn't communicated out to you.
I want to explain album privacy for you, so you know exactly what's going on with your images being linked to the site. When you link an image from a private album, all other images in that album remain private. If you test opening one of your images direct link, when you are not logged into your account, you'll see that your albums are inaccessible.
In addition, to help with the zoom function, simply hold down the ctrl button while tapping the - (minus) key to zoom out. Tap the + (plus) key instead to zoom back in.
Another, more permanent, solution is to actually change the default setting for your OS, especially for Windows 7. This will fix all of your zoom options for all of your web pages. This setting can be found by right-clicking on your computers desktop, then selecting Personalize. Then in the bottom left hand corner click on the Display link. Here you have an option to select 100%, 125% or 150%. Our site works best in 100%, but be warned this will change how everything looks on your computer. You will have to log out of Windows and log back in before this change will take effect.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Let me know if you have any more questions, thanks!
Rubbish!
