Why does Photobucket suck so bad?

[Lumber_Jack]

Simple question.  Is it the nature of their site, where their servers are storing #### tons of photos? Or is it just a bad website.  It takes forever to load, change views, pull up photos already uploaded.  I am about to bail.

Yeah, it has ALWAYS sucked as far as bandwidth goes. Doesn't matter who's account or what is being opened it is guaranteed to take exactly 3 seconds too long.

I use Picasaweb from Google.  Never have an issue.

Try using Google Chrome to navigate PhotoBucket, it sped up for me when I did that. Internet Explorer may be what sucks.

PB does suck.  It has for years.  Try Imgur.  It is free and they don't wear you out with ads.

I never use IE, just Chrome, still sucks :D

Does it provide forum [url] links for posting?

I expect money is pretty scarce around PhotoBucket these days...

Well that answered that then. :)

Yes, you can link to just the image, or share the entire album, etc.  It also lets you pick the size of the pic, etc.  It's pretty easy to use.

 

Here is a screenshot of the UI.  You can also drag drop photo's from your computer.  You simply select Upload, or if you are in an album, just select Add Photo's.  It's Google so I suspect it does everything most other sites do.

I gave up on photosucket a while back. Postimage.org is a straightforward upload and direct links provided, no frills storage. Or you can use it anonymously without aN account.

Make sure to select image only and use the link from Embed Image

 So I dont have the "link this photo option"  on the photos I uploaded

You need to set the album properties to "share with anyone with the link.  It defaults to where only you can see it for Security.

 

Adding where to do this for anyone else.

Almost, you have to use the add image button in TGO and then paste the URL into that.  

 

I should have added, I usually only add images using the website.  I don't really add images using Tapatalk, so it could be a bit different using it.

So it just posted a link instead of a photo like yours.

Is it faster than Photobucket?  I have never used it (Photobucket that is).

Thanks man, just different steps.  I'm gonna give this a whirl and see how it goes
