Photobucket whinge

Photobucket is an absolute pain to use ,everything takes ages to do .Anyone else have a prob. or advice on this ?

 

Sorry but I dont find any problems.

It can be slow if you go from thumnail to actual picture, but as I just upload and post IMG its not really a problem.

 

Yeah that bits ok for me Pete its the editing part ,ta for reply though .

 

The editing bit is slowish for me too.

I find the bulk uploader a bit quicker to use.

 

I've never used the editing bit.
I never took it seriously.

You need a proper programme for editing.

Dont you??

 

could it make a difference divide the bulk of pictures in different albums so that whatever you do to them there is less to upload?

 

When I first started using Photobucket to post photos on here, I found it a pain too, it kept 'freezing' on me and nearly drove me mad.

Then on advice from Mrs Trunky (who knows about such things) I tried resizing the photos on my computer to 'web large' before uploading them to Photobucket, haven't had much trouble since.

 

If you are uploading a stack of photos to or from different albums it takes the same time as uploading to a single album.

It's very much faster to do any editing/resizing on your PC before uploading to Photobucket. You'll also end up with better quality images as the resizing on PB seems to be a rather lossy process.

 

There is flickr but have never used it just tend to stick with what I am used to.

 

I only edit online when Photobucket rotates my pics when uploading and I have to edit online to rotate them back again.


And I get fed up with keep being told I'm the lucky 100,000th visitor that day, or that I've won yet another iphone:

 

I hate them little wobbling adverts as well !

A good free photo editor is Picasa ~ Picasa ~ Its owned by Google.

Why also do we get the image has been resized bar on top of the photos now - very irritating :gaagh:

 

I gave up on PB ages ago. Also Imageshack and Tiny Pics for the same reasons. Plus all of them would dump an attempted upload for no known reason.

So a nice friend created me my own image uploader which nobody else uses and I can even change the dimensions of the picture a few pixels at a time as there is no set list I have to choose from!
I am finally a happy bunny!
