Have been on this site for sometime but rarely use it primarily because it is so slow. No idea why, it is the only site I visit with this problem.

In summary, I would not recommend PhotoBucket to a friend.

I joined Photobucket when I left flickr in protest at its dreadful new layout. I have never really grown to like Photobucket and, of late, have encountered so many problems I'm beginning to despair.

All I require is somewhere to upload collections of photos so others can view them. I don't need a site that lets me edit the photos (I have Photoshop and other editing software, thanks) nor one that offers printing facilities (I can print photos in loads of other places, including my own printer). The problem is that uploading pictures to Photobucket is a major pain in the butt. The JPEG uploading happens efficiently, but for some reason Photobucket only ever remembers about two-thirds of the titles I type in for my pictures. I have to go in again and again and keep retyping the same titles over and over. When I contacted Photobucket support for help about this problem I got only completely irrelevant stock FAQ answers by email, followed by a questionnaire asking how good their support was. Don't these websites have any live people looking at their stuff any more?!

I have been using Photobucket for several years. The previous version was much more intuitive and of great importance to me--sharing photos via email using a direct link was very fast and smooth. The "improvements" are now very clunky, I'm sorry to say. Unless you opt for sharing via social networking, you will have a difficult time sharing by email. The pop up window has limited functionality, will not accept multiple valid email addresses, and does NOT link to address books such as Yahoo. Overall the look and feel in navigation are more awkward. A giant step backwards. I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription and going elsewhere.

In summary, I would not recommend PhotoBucket to a friend.

I spent hours putting together a slide show with effects and music. I could email to friends but I couldn't save it to a disc. Also, Photobucket lost it! After a few months, it just disappeared. When friends when to their emails, it stated that it wasn't viewable anymore! I've emailed Photobucket help and have received no response.

In summary, I would not recommend PhotoBucket to a friend.
