I was looking for other alternatives to Photobucket this weekend and just wasn't able to find what I am looking for. I primarily use Photobucket as a tool for my ebay auctions as it is quick and easy to sort/group the types of cards I have, get the Web and IMG codes to import into my ebay templates I have on dreamweaver.

I found ways to get around the annoying thumbnails that only shows part of the image. This however is only useful while in editing mode. People viewing the profile publicly will still see the cut off thumbnail of each image.

There however are some annoyances that Photobucket has changed. Such as not being able to select multiple scans to move or delete. From what I see, can only complete this action one at a time.

I have tried such sites as Imgur, Flickr, Pisca and even FCB and none of those sites gave me as much versatility as Photobucket has. I need to be able to see the image name, short image title, Web & IMG tags and a full image thumbnail of the image. Unless I missed something on the sites I listed, does anyone else have any other image storing options they use?

I am thinking I may be stuck with Photobucket. Really not liking the changes they have made so far, but I am hoping that they don't make any more and can deal with the current version. Really getting sick of all these changes lately.

Oh wow, that sucks! When did you try to do that? I had no issues this weekend with copying.

Well, I used to be able to right click and get the direct image URL (or on my phone, just hit "copy"). Now it's some JavaScript crap. I have to go to the side bar and click the direct link and copy it.

Also, my album won't load 20 pics per page anymore, it just loads the entire album on one page. This is a pain in the ass when I have 400+ images.

Im gonna rescan everything and switch to something else

You should be able to download your images as a whole...

View attachment 12690

I clicked on an album and in the upper right under "album options" you can see the "Download This Album"..

Good luck,

And what's with all of the extra numbers and letter after the file name? I used to be able to just change the file name in html code and it would change the pic. This made listing on turbolister extremely fast. Now I have to go back and forth and copy each individual code. Took me 4 hours to list 80 auctions. I used to be able to list 50-60 an hour.
