Is anybody still using Photobucket?

[***super_nova***]

Or better, what other free hosting site is there? 

I am absolutely livid; I just wasted another few hours trying to do my listings using pics from Photobucket.  The changes in photobucket have been one of the main reasons I have not been listing, but today I decided to get move on.  After really good photoshoot, I have painstakingly numbered some 200 of my photos such a way that they will be in the order I need their HTML pasted into my templates, well *!@#%* photobucket does not upload them in the order I have them, it saves them by the date/time!!!!.  That meant that I had to search the whole album backwards and forwards to get each correct photo.  What an idiotic system.

I'm still working on why all my photos load sideways 😞

I only use gallery pics and they're on my computer.

if you change the default settings, will that help?

User settings – albums – sort order for new albums - alphabetical

I actually find it better than the old photobucket, even though I was very much opposed to the change (I'm an ole bear and we despise changes).  I have created albums and separate my items once they've been uploaded:-)

curraone - do you use a "smart" phone to take your photos?  The reason I ask is everytime one of my daughters sends me a pic of my grandson, it's sideways and I have to upload it to photobucket then rotate it.  She doesn't understand why they arrive sideways, as she says they look just fine when she takes them using her "smart" phone:-)

no, motherbear, I do not use a smart phone

I don't understand it - they look okay on the computer, I download them and at least half are sideways on photobucket.

I have not ticked the auto rotate thing, because someone told me not to, but it makes no difference.

in fact I did a whole album with the auto rotate option ticked and the result was the same.

And rotating them in photobucket is very time consuming.

well glad to know it's not just me - but doesn't make it any better.   Some features work well, but can't figure out the sideways thing.

There is another photo storage site called use ( add the necessary letters and punctuation - you know how to do it 😉 )

I am not really sure how well it works as I have only just started using it, it seems OK for storage but doesn't have any photo editing capabilities.

 For photo editing, I am using the pixlr site  - this is the photo editor that used to be on photobucket.

I rarely put images in the description now, eBay advise against it because of the use of smartphones and ipads, you are best off just using the gallery feature and adding lots of images there, it really is the way it is going..........
