Why do you have to drag the pic to you desktop? Can't you just open a picture file/folder of some sort on your Mac.

I did find new options to organize albums on photobucket were not as user friendly as in days gone by.

 

Yeah, why do you have to drag them to your desktop? You click Upload (making sure you have the correct photobucket library selected) and then browse the folder where your photos are stored. You can choose one or more to upload.

 

You’re right. Uploading, as you suggested isn't a problem for me either. It’s reasonably fast and easy What’s annoying is Photobucket’s editing/saving process – it’s very slow. Aside from the slow editing/saving response times, it sometimes takes nearly 24hrs before the changes are viewable by an external URL link. I’ve also experienced lost images and sorting preferences, like Dave, when manipulating an album.


As a workaround to Photobucket’s slowness…I’ll now edit the photos with newly acquired software prior to uploading; it will be much faster I'm certain. When I begin the pre-upload editing process I may become a happy camper once again.


I’m not aware of any Photoshop viewing problems while using my ISP’s servers. A DNS server may have some issues though.

The quick answer is No. It used to work that way. To tell you the truth I am not sure why it will no longer accept a picture directly but since that process works fine for emails, I presume it has something to do with the handoff between the Mac and Photobucket.

 

Well that is a PIA. I'd look for another hosting site if I were having that issue. Too many steps to share pics that way.

 

There must be something wrong as I just loaded a picture directly from my hard drive to PB with no problems.

 

Another reason not to get a Mac.

 

Knew that was coming!

 

I'm still a picasa holdout. I continue to refuse their update to Google+, so I still have the old interface and not their facebook competition look.

Uploading is easy from the website directly, or with the desktop tool to help manage directories.

If I want to post something here, I just click on the image online, and there's a share link that has the image URL in it. I post it with the IMAGE button and done.

I did set up one folder as my online stuff and set that to public. I just have to drop the photo in there. There used to be a way to send a photo via email. Haven't used it in a while, not sure if its still working or not.

Unfortunately, I believe that if you're not an existing picasa user, you are now forced into google+ for photos. So, maybe not as helpful as this could have been.

 

Ok, I'll have to look into a little more; and you are talking about at Mac - right?
