photobucket has changed

I've heard this before...but when I clicked on the image thing it demanded a website - no personal computer connection...what am I missing? Okay, tried it again. Something new, different...but apparently it works if there's a pic of a hot air balloon inflating....

Don't like it either so I opted to revert to the earlier version (and PM them to say why.

I just checked my Photobucket page, and it still looks the same. I still get the drop-down links, and didn't have to do anything to make it that way. Weird!

Me, too. I'm given the option of trying their new format, but I always decline. Maybe they're slowing phasing in the new format, giving some users an option and others none until they unilaterally change it forever. Like the Facebook "timeline," if you're familiar with that mess.

I, too, hate the new version. However, I was given the option of sticking with the old version, so that's what I did. For once I lucked out!!

I prefer the new layout. I think it looks nicer and is easier to navigate. As far as the links hover over the little picture and click on the gear icon then the links item. Or click on the picture to get a bigger image and all the links are to the right of the picture.

I wish I had been given a choice. I definitely would have stayed with the old system. It seems a lot of people got to choose but I never did. I wrote a comment to them on their contact page but have never heard back from them.

Works. And yes, this is a new feature since we changed over to VB v.4.0. In addition, when you're putting up your post, if you are in WYSIWYG mode (top left button on the options bar) you can double-click on the picture to control whether you want it to appear in your post as small, medium, or large, and whether it should be centered, left, or right justified, along with a few other little options.

For som e reason I'm not able to see any of these photo links that people include in the text of their posts, I get a message from X-Marks saying it could be due to any of several different reasons.

Here is a response I just got from Photobucket. Note the final line in their response. It talks of "getting back" to the new site. I can't get away from the new site, I want to get back to the old site.
