I uploaded a picture and the page I was presented with, which never fully loaded, had SEVEN ads.
The site has always been painfully slow.

I happen to like photoshop. I needed to post one pic on a tractor site today so I needed to put it on Photoshop. It was a photo I took quite a while ago so I had to do some searching to find it.
Well, I finally found it and when I did I simply clicked the middle downsize button on the window that made it smaller. Then I opened photoshop and downsized that window. I just clicked on the photo and dragged it into the photoshop window and it instantly uploaded to photoshop. I'm getting to like that method. I read somewhere a long time ago that you could do that but never tried it until a few weeks ago.
Easy Peezy lemon squeezy :mrgreen:

ADBLOCKER PLUS !
It's a free program, how many times do you need to hear it?
CraigC said:Cary, I don't know why you're being obstinate about this. I'm not complaining, I don't use it because I don't like it. I decided to use something other than PhotoBucket 15 friggin' years ago. The ads were but one small part of the reasoning behind it. When I try to navigate someone else's account now, it's painfully slow because it has so much crap to load. Not just the picture and the ads but all that infernal scripting. It's terrible. I honestly don't know why people bother with it, I guess because they'll put up with anything if it's free.
You seem to be missing the point. When using Firefox AND Adblocker Plus neither of us, Cary or I, have ever had a problem. It is a SUGGESTION, for a tool to use, to all those that seem to be having problems. When offered a solution to a problem you have a couple of options. One is to use the tool and see if it helps; the other is to totally ignore the help being offered. However, if the help is refused then don't complain of the results you get.CraigC said:I honestly don't know why people bother with it, I guess because they'll put up with anything if it's free.

And that is exactly what I did as well. You choose to try to fix 'part' of the problem with 3rd party software. I choose to avoid it altogether and I avoid extraneous 3rd part software whenever possible because I make my living with this machine. Your solution works for you, mine works for me. Don't get your panties in a wad because I don't love your free photo host. I've tried yours and have experienced it countless times. Have you ever tried mine? Probably not. So how do you know my solution is not better?Fox Mike said:It is a SUGGESTION.....to all those that seem to be having problems. When offered a solution to a problem you have a couple of options.

As I said, the ads are only a small part of it. I farted around with it for a couple hours yesterday and all it did was remind me of why I don't use it. I also don't like that you have to choose a single universal photo size when you upload pics. I don't have that limitation. I usually resize all my SLR pics with PhotoShop but I can also upload them directly from my iPhone and retain all its resolution, then choose whatever size I want to use when I post it. PhotoBucket has always run slow for me because of all the frames and scripts that load, whereas my photo host is faster than my own websites.
