Well here's a little pic of Ripper Ripster boy. The above pic of my red/brown girl wearing her plumbago earring is Kuma Zuma girl. Not sure if I will be able to repeat this process later whenever I want. Also the editing feature is completely broken.

This all started when I tried to put a photo of my "nephew" King Charles Cavilier, 6 yr old Indy, in Irshgirl's new puppy thread. That's when I realized there was a problem.

I just used Flickr and it worked!

Good to know Furry!

My issue, or one of them, is I do NOT want any connection between other social network sites. My PB account and album(s) was set to Private for years. When I checked yesterday, I saw it was not any longer. Don't know how long they changed it or how long my personal info was just hanging out there by clicking on any photo I had posted here!

I tried to use PB a few weeks ago and had no luck. I think I'll close out my things. I only have three or four pictures there anyway...

I've used PB several times this week and have had no problems.

I have a huge Photobucket account and have had no issues. But I also have a SlickPic account which you might like. It has some features that PB doesn't have.

I have used Photobucket since 2006. I have, or had, about 1200 or so photos there. As of yesterday, they are gone now. Or scrambled with links broken and I can't get them back. I tried uploading a couple news ones and they either don't load or if by some miracle it does, then I can't edit or crop or whatever. In other words, it's unworkable and worthless.

Photobucket has been scr3wing up big time since last year but this is the final straw. I googled and there are tons of rants about it.

I know there are other photo hosting site options. What do others use? I need something basic and easy. Is there a site that doesn't change constantly and reinvent itself every few months? Grrrrrrrrrrr.......

Have you tried contacting Photo Bucket? I have had a couple problems over the many years I've used their website, and they responded to my request in a very timely fashion and fixed my issues.

Have you changed computers since you joined Photo Bucket? With my wife's tablet or Galaxy cell phones it takes way more steps that I like to sign on and/or upload pictures, but they do work. When I upgraded my computer I had to change the types software program I used to open .jpg files. Once I did that I had no further problems with uploading pictures.

it doesn't work for me. I'm going to find another photo storage site

Interesting John. Yes I have changed computers but no I haven't tried to call them.

I know part of the problem is that I blew it when I opted to ""scramble"" something or other. But I didn't think it would affect uploading new stuff. Plus I shouldn't have to figure out why the basic edit function just plain doesn't work. And there are way too many new problems and ongoing problems to try to explain like all pictures now a fraction of their original uploaded size for one example.

Then there is the reason for my concern in the first place. The out and out breach of privacy of posting my name and e-mail address available on a click by anyone. And linked to my facebook without my knowledge. It's why I made the mad scramble to hit scramble!

sylvia - Please post when you find another storage site and let us know about it?
