Okay there was something seriously wrong with Photobucket. It was slow, clunky, and images kept disappearing and re-appearing. However, I contacted them and they told me to log into their new site. I did, and it looks much better and seems responsive enough. (My old rating was a 1 star, but I am editing it now to 5 stars because they obviously put in some effort to make this site work again)
Photobucket removed their free service to thousands of forums in the past that ruined posts and the forums shut down. Forget this useless company
I am unsure whether it isn't compatible with Google Plus, but everytime I use it it times out, when I manage to get photos up there, it won't allow me to manually order them in story form, keeps going back to the original order. I am ready to take all my many photos out of photobucket and put them elsewhere.
My wife is not very techno-savvy but has a dance studio and takes lots of photos. A friend of hers tried to use photobucket to share some photos she took. My wife was simply overwhelmed with the complexity of getting onto photobucket: setting up the account, etc. She finally drove to the friend's house with a CD in her hand. I am a longtime (20 year) Linux user. I also could not manage to set up an account and download the files. I tried it on Linux, on our Mac, and on Windows 7. Nothing worked. And I don't think it is because I'm not computer literate. On my Mac, I filled out all the fields, but it kept telling me that I had not filled one of them out -- but would not say which one. I finally gave up as well. This household does not seem to be ready for Photobucket. If PB wants the over-50 crowd to use it, they will have to simplify things a lot and make it more robust.
I would love to give this website more then two stars but I couldn't. I'll explain why below:
The website is fantastic in general. Great picture quality and would be a fantastic way to share my photos with friends, and even the world!
The fact is the website is so slow and puts me off. I have a good quality and fast home connection, but this website seems to slow my connection down. Further to this, I cannot put photos up onto the website when others are on their computers as their connection disconnects when I put some photos up. Lastly, it takes an average 10 minutes for every 15 photos.
