Anyone having issues with Photobucket?

[Le S2 Audi]

Seems to be a big fallout happening with photobucket and their "Draconian Implementation" of their new and "Upgraded" (downgrade IMO) service...

Seems to be 1000's of unhappy customers including myself...

It could also have an affect on this forum so maybe a Mod or Admin needs to look into the issues it may cause....

Seems like millions of pictures and their associated links could be lost which would be such a shame to a forum like this...

On my p/b accounts as soon as they implemented the new version I changed it back to the old one.

It works so why mess with things, people are happy so they should leave it alone.

Agreed - but in 10 days you don't have a choice...

not good, I can see me trying different options. I hated the trial of the new version and was ready to smash the computer as it was that annoying.

Just because you CAN change something, doesn't mean you SHOULD change it.

I also was frustrated with the switch as I couldn't do things as quickly and easily. So I switched to the old interface. It may be true that you could learn to use the new interface as efficiently, but at this point, I don't want to spend the time to do it. If links are disturbed I will surely be moving things back to my own server/domain. If they are retained, I may just suck it up as it will probably be less hassle. All new images may end up elsewhere though...

well, i have issue with this. and it is going to wreck 6 years of photos on every car forum i am involved with unfortunately.

i pay for a service that is being altered, and now i will not pay for this service. which means the 12 GB of data i have there will not be around anymore.

Damn I hate the NEW looking of Photobucket.I spend an hour to find the linky for the photos.
it seems they no longer provide the overall photos anymore.

Shocking... and big PITB. I started using my Facebook page, and link to that.

Also seems impossible to link more than one picture in a row?

Me too, Ive been an unlimited bandwidth account since around 2002 and HATE the new layout
I switched mine back straight away and filled in the questionaire saying I didnt like it

Does anyone know how to download all albums in bulk?

Just switched mine back, using the new format was impossible to do some basic things.

Thats Progress for you!

I think you need pro to be able to download in bulk, and then download by ftp access.

Hate the new photobucket site, hopefully they'll iron out some of the current problems I have with it and bring back the functionallity I use...

But if links to old photos stop working I'll be looking elsewhere.

It's the usual change for the sake of change. What you end up with is a flash looking slow site that doesn't do half what it used to.

They did similar with the fantasy.premierleague site a couple of years ago, everyone went mad as nothing worked properly! It took them a year to get it back up to standard. Hopefully Photobucket won't take that long.

nope anyone can download it, where it says album options just above your pictures, click that and it will say download album then just follow the steps
