Attention Photobucket. Survey question # 20 is unfair.

[In_The_Wind]

Your survey would not allow me to rate things honestly.

When I want to answer " 1 dissatisfied " let me answer that way as often as needed.

Saying 2, 3, 4 or 5 when I want to answer 1 is giving you incorrect data.

I just wanted to pass that information along. Since the survey will not reflect my true feelings.

1. count me in as dissatisfied too

with the new and improved Photobucket.

2. It took over an hour to find the perfect image I wanted to post here.

I've had my bucket account for 10 years. I was happy with the old photobucket

3. did they change AGAIN!

[In_The_Wind]

5. They are making the photobucket users change this month.

upload goes to the main album

from my experience:

to move the image into it's album, open the image, click move, wait for your albums to load, move image, open in new album, collect the link.

oh and, if you want more than one image [img][/img] start the above process over again.

8. I use it so rarely that

it seems different almost every time I use it

10. I'm starting to say more and show less.

Most of the threads I've been starting don't require additional photos.

I can use the new bucket, but it's far more complicated than the old bucket.

Proving once again . . . if it works, don't change it.

Please, let me know how you feel the next time you post a photo.

12. That's what I used to tell my daughter before she went on a date:

Say more and show less

14. excellent words of wisdom from a loving father

4. Is there a consensus as yet regarding the best substitute for Photobucket?

I have an account there, but no collection of images residing there. And, therefore, I have no migration issues. (I have a small farm of hard drives here at home, and store my stuff locally. I just used Photobucket on rare occasion to be able to post an image that I wanted to post.)

So, if Photobucket has elected to become inconvenient, where to go next for posting purposes?

[In_The_Wind]

6. I don't know.

[Moondog]

7. Well, thanks anyway. Never hurts to ask . . . .

[ashling]

13. you can always put your pictures

in your facebook photo albumn

9. I still have the old one, but apparently not for long

This is at the top of the page- with a "Get Started" button-
"It's time to make the switch.
Hurry! We're only 19 days away from moving over to the new site. Get started with your new Photobucket and lock in your bonus storage today!"

I read other complaints about the new version when I googled to find out whether you could go back to the old version.
In November someone said that Chrome worked, IE didn't, but PB must have fixed that by now. I use Safari which hasn't given me problems so far.

11. Tried Chrome when Photobucket suggested it, meh.

I un-installed the Chrome.

My computer still works very well in spite of the fact that it's from 2002.
