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.

Hi d.g, THANK YOU ! That has made it soooo much easier, almost, almost..the same as the original version [photos appear much smaller so harder to see which one you want first].

My settings are public so I can include the Direct Link for people wanting more images, this way I don't over burden the listing.  Not sure if overseas viewers can access that link, but aussies can.

Thanks also to shazza for her help.

Hopefully I will be back to quick listing again - I now have telstra adsl & 30 seconds to upload 30 photos compared with 3 hours with optus wireless........I'm in heaven !!!!

Well I tried the new PB a few months ago and told them i didn't really like it..

Every time I go to PB I do the survey and tell them I hate the new one.  Obviously, they take no notice 😞  i would at least hope they get the thing to work properly before they get rid of the old  :_|

Still prefer the old one. But I guess I'll just have to stay under my mushroom.

Last time I went in there I have the new version up but I do not have any photo's showing in my library.  I know they are there somewhere but I can't get to any photos at all.  Is that normal.  How do I access my library?  I havn't used it for months because I can't see anything.

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.

I'll hopefully update my guide in the next week??:|

To get the single copied links just select the album you have the photos you want and click on Organize,(top left).

After you open the organizer select the photos you'd like to get links for.

Hold the Ctrl key and click on certain photos, or hold Shift and select the first and last photos,
and all the photos in between will be selected.

Then scroll to the bottom and click on Link and then select the one you want by right clicking on it,(it will go yellow ans state copied).

HTML thumb code is for listings and can also be used for the boards to post thumbnails,(get upload as many as you like in one go).

To post full size photos on the boards use the HTML option,(both via the postcard option and the selecting From the Web,enter the copied code into the box and click on add.

Have fun,:-D

well I tried to do everything exactly as you said but obviously too old to learn new stuff - the photos are there all right, but when you click on them like you used to be able to do they do not get bigger, they link back to photobucket home page ?????

and of course, most of my photos are sideways again?

if you are still there go-tazz - or indeed anyone - can you please look at my listing for PETE AND THE PRAIRIE PEOPLE and tell me if it is completely stuffed up?

Thank you

Thank you 

just looked at that listing.  The thumbnails in the descritpion do not go to larger views, they do go to photobucket, but not to your images on photobucket

I know, and I don't know why not ??  😞
