The problem is that they fixed what wasnt broken. Anyway, when you save a photo it will often size to over 1000X1000. The forum requires that a photo be less than 1000 either way. You have to save the picture in photobucket, then go to edit, then resize and chose a measurement under 1000 on both sides, then replace original. Once you do that, the forum will accept it. Good Luck!

I just double-click on my PB pic(s), then copy the pic's direct url from the pic's RH menu for pasting here, imediately preceeded by "[ img]", and then immediately followed by "[ /img]", rather than use any loading tool.

My main beef is that they no longer have a "show all" function. Makes scrolling through my photos a real pain.

Problems with photobucket? Yes, every since they "improved" it, and seemed to make it slower, harder to use and make little sense at to the functions. :D

Often when trying to log in from my album page, it's a blank space where the sign in info is supposed to go, but if you want to sign in thru twitter or facebook, you're good to go,....

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?

Dropbox is becoming more and more useful to me everyday.
Also noticed Photobucket arbitrairly dropping the resolution of some of my photos. The site is really becoming a turd.

I don't have any problem posting using them but the photos I upload and not near as sharp as the ones I use to upload...soft looking. Think I'll try WebShots or Flckr.

It did if the picture you took was supposed to be that grainy. :D

I use Firefox and have no trouble accessing it, it's just the softness of the photos. I went to Flickr and they're much sharp. Notice the difference between Photobucket and Flickr.
