Good job on this....I wrote the original (stickied) instructions.......
Exactly the same, but different!

Cheers!

I'm not positive, but I think there's a drop-dead date when old Photobucket wont be available.

In about 12 days I believe the old is history. There was a switch-back option last month from the new (I used it) but that is not available now. I opted for the new yesterday and I can't go back.

Your instructions for the new are bang on. It is not hard to use.

Hi,
I'm not sure why, or how, but I switched to the 'new' version of Photobucket and I still have the 4 link options under EACH picture like the 'old' photobucket had.
Maybe someone needs to ask a help question on the PB site to clarify the possibilities.
Regards,
Alan

I also use the new setup but in the drop down the 4 bars are blacked out?
But if I click on the lower [img] one it still copies. I have tried several options but it is still blacked out?

This is the "shortcut" that can be used so you do not have to click on every single picture. It makes it easier when you are adding multiple pictures to a post.



Once you click on "get links" it pulls up all the links with your library still in the background. Just "x" out the box to get back to your library.

I hate photobucket I did exactly what you wrote and I don't get the bottom screen , even after I logged in , I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Ron

I do get the bottom screen but as always all the lines are blacked out?

LeMans Pete

Are you using Chrome?

That worked, many thanks.

Yes and yes. My goal was to make it as painfully simple as possible. Even if there are tiny differences in browsers and such, the point is always the same... find the IMG link and copy it. It works 100% of the time.

Old won't be around long.

On another note hit the "shift" and "print Screen" keys, then paste to a photo editing program instead of taking pics of your monitor. Just another tip.

If you go into your album settings you can enable "Easy Linking Mode" which will enable you to click the link from the album page instead of clicking the gear icon or on the image itself.........much easier to work with.

LeMans Pete

Much easier indeed!

I made the switch. Photobucket worked well for one day on the new. Since that time, it will not remember my user name and password, it will not show me my entire album; when I scroll, Photobucket locks up and becomes unresponsive. Repeated attempts to reach Support at Photobucket only results in receipt of useless generic automated email messages.

I have used Photobucket for a very long time with no actual problems and no real complaints, but the new version is not working for me.

If Photobucket does not improve things soon, I will make the move to Flickr.

Dude, thanks for the info. It worked out great.

I used PB for a long time , many years issue free. I guess my 10 year old "PC" was just not up to the task. Matter fact , it was slow on all sites , and a continuous pain the rear to keep virus and spy wear out of. It got to the point I was spending more time cleaning it and worrying about malwear than enjoying the thing. Not to mention all the trips to the computer store to have it cleaned was adding up money wise

SO ...it was way past time for a new computer ....we are an older couple ....and not computer geeks ....but we bit the bullet and bought an IMac APPLE . I was hesitant at first, as it took me 12 years to learn PC very well. As the weeks and months pass I'm getting the hang of APPLE and finding it might be the superior computer.

It seems to work nice with photobucket and I have zero maintenance to deal with and everything moves so much quicker .

It is taking so time to relearn , but maybe I'm not as backwards as I supposed
