Anyone still using photobucket ? How do you add the HTML link ???

[suitcase_of_memories]

Hi all, I have just had to delete all but one of my NEW photobucket links because they only show up as a red X, except for the gallery image & the very first photo link within the listing.

The old PB is being scrapped in 27 days so we have little choice if staying with them. I have found it an absolute nightmare. Clicking on every image to access the link, then the link doesn't even WORK !!

Any one worked out how to use this stupid new site ?

I used the Direct Link link in the end, so people will have to click on that just to view the photos. VERRRY frustrating.

Last time I tried, a couple of weeks ago, none of the links worked. I thought it was because I was on the old site, and it was only a smiley, so I didn't bother.

hey davewil, the old site was working perfectly for me, but tonight when I saw the '27 days till we close down the old photobucket' I thought best to make the change & get it over & done with....what a waste of time ! My listing is now without photos GREAT !

I am now going to have to look around for a site that actually functions, photobucket is absolute pits now.

I just went back into PB & a new link has mysteriously appeared so I have been able to reintroduce the HTML links for the photos, but I find ebay won't allow me to leave a space between them ... oh the joys of online selling

Wow, that's a bit scary, I just realised I was able to REVISE my item & add the photos WITHOUT signing in to photobucket.

Is that normal, is that safe ?

I didn't realise I hadn't signed in to PB, I just copied the 'for ebay & ?? other websites' links & added them into my ebay listing [which was already on ebay].

Is your album set to 'Private'?

If so, it would be cookies. I rarely sign into sites.

 Clicking on every image to access the link, then the link doesn't even WORK !!

I'm not sure why the link wouldn't have been working, but you can now have all the links you use displayed on the page (without clicking on individual images) in the new Photobucket.

Sign in and pull up the dropdown menu under your user ID, click User Settings, then the Albums tab. Towards the end of the options displayed, check the box for Turn on easy linking mode and save. It doesn't work exactly the same as before (at least not for me), in that one click automatically copies the link or code. I find I now have to click on the link field, then right click to select copy.

As dave mentioned, if your albums aren't private, anyone can view and get links to your images.

Well I tried the new PB a few months ago and told them i didn't really like it..but i guess they do not care if you like it or not.. I just saw this today we only have 27 more days left to switch.. Well I did switch, but I am sure it will take me a long time to understand it.. I downloaded something, lol and signed off and new things came on..  Well I can take my time and hope your all around to help me.. take care Shazza:-x
