I took one look at the new and switched back to the old format.
Have had no uploading or viewing issues. I just can't be bothered learning a new system.

There is an option on photobucket to switch back to the old view... somewhere! I found it but cant remember where it was... I rejected their new look and opted to switch back to the old view. However, before it would switch back, a dialogue box opened and they insisted I tell them what I didn't like about the new look and why I wanted to switch back. So I typed in the box that "the new look SUCKS" and left it at that. The old look appeared and it has been like that ever since. That was about a week and a half ago. |

Yes once I switched to Mozilla and got back in I reverted straight back to the old look. I doubt many people will stick to the new look, it's rather oddly designed.

Oh well....no more photographs at this group from me.
Photobucket has shifted me to the new format again, but this time it won't allow me to shift back, no matter how many times I click on the link to return to the old look.
But even worse....ALL images I upload now have a heap more stuff in the URL, and ProBoards being what they are (finicky about URLs) are refusing to display photographs with the new URL layout from Photobucket. The same images will display in groups hosted by MSN or any of the other messageboard forum hosting services I have anything to do with, but not at ProBoards.
So I guess I've posted my last new photographs to this group. I guess I could post in here what I REALLY feel, but it would involve a string of four-letter forbidden words which might upset some people, so I won't post any more about it. I have, however, sent an email to Photobucket telling them exactly what I think of their poxy new format. I guess if they take offence at that, they'll excommunicate me.

I've just changed back to the old format and haven't have any problems so far.

Note that the new URL format will display images in messageboard forums hosted by SMF, Yuku and virtually every other hosting service I access. It is only ProBoards which are difficult over certain URLs, including the new Photobucket format. |

I've changed back to the old one too. Why do they want to alter a system that has worked for so well for so long?

Seems to work using Firefox on Win7... The new look has a 'Google' feel to it.

New format URL test:
Anyway, I've just (about three hours ago) received a reply from someone at Photobucket to my rather caustic email. It states that they are sorry I am unhappy with the new format and that they will change me back to the old format within 24 hours. I will await with baited breath to see if they are true to their word. |

I copied that {IMG} code direct from the new page though? Weird!

I just updated the Link Options (under the image links on the right of the page for an image) and tried again, no issues to report. Guess you are having bad luck kiwithrottlejockey? BTW your avatar works still, is that hosted by PB?

It beats me why Photobucket are messing with things.
It wasn't broke, so why try to fix something that doesn't need fixing?
All they are achieving is to create a heap of problems for long-established users and piss people off.
However one thing....they were true to their word in their reply to my email and they have switched me back to the old format. I wonder for how long, though. They seem determined to push this new look on everybody.

Be interesting to see what the ratio of "don't like" and "like" is for users.
I didn't actually mind the new look but not if I can't bloody post photos properly!

Photobucket seems to be up to their old tricks again, just starng to revive my stash thread and I find that photos are dissapearing. The last few I loaded of the Hastings are missing with just the final one in the "library", can't find the others in the group and some I have loaded since show up in the preview and I can't get them across to the "library" whichmeans no codes are allocated.
Can't see anywhere to revert to the old format so that looks like the end of photo posting from me

My account has a message saying they are changing to an all new Photobucket version in X amount of days and I can jump the queue and change now. Maybe it'll be an improvement?

That has never happened to me, so far. Pretty odd.
