It blows, sucks, stinks, bites, and anything else I can think of. I was shanghaied into the new version with no way back- thank's a LOT scummos! Look at the feedback there- all BAD! Do they listen? NO! And they weren't even finished yet! BALLS! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

What are some "good" alternate photo hosting sites? The emphasis is on GOOD.

I tried "Imageshack". Not happy with it either Jack.

I liked the really old photo bucket. It was crazy simple and worked well on my dinosaur computer at home.

Then it got more upgraded (old model), and it was slow on my home computer, but I got used to it and it was good.


This new one, in completely impossible. I uploaded a pic 3 times, and I couldnt find it. It showed up on my home page as a preview but I physically couldnt find it. WTF??? Ive been using it for a while now, but this is the first time that has happened. Its freakin hopeless this new version. Completely counter intuitve.





Flickr is supposed to be really good. It is from what ive seen. But you need a Yahoo account to operate it. I refuse to use Yahoo, because its so full of viruses and malware, the last few times I signed up for it, I had to reformat my computer within a couple of months.

It's inconsistent at times old version was better IMO... Have gotten a bit better the last few times i have used it though.

Not impressed, hate that I have to click on my picture, then then another tab just to get my links, pain in the *ss, really slows you down while trying to make a simple multi picture post.

No you dont.

Click on your username, then settings, then Album settings

You can choose to have the links displayed in the thumbnails, and which types of links. I used the links only, since I use them the most.

You can also select the default load size. I chose 800x640? So it doesnt come up gigantic in the forums.

Thanks! Good to know. That was one of my complaints -- having to take the extra step just to get to the links.
I'm sure there are lots of great features in the new version. They don't seem to be super obvious though. It just isn't very idiot-friendly for guys like me who like it simple. By the time I get some of these tweaks figured out they'll probably have a new version so we can start all over again.

I completely agree. Like I said, its very counter intuitive.

One of the features I used alot in the old one was bulk uploader. It made uploading, titling and organizing a breeze. Its very easy to get lost in the new version.
