Chad, I just posted photos in the mini-Union Station thread, and they came out OK; now to see if they continue to show with an "i139" prefix before Photobucket in the link address....

Hey,

A BIG THANKS Guys!!!

We gotta raise a big RED Flag to these Corporates who float, the SUNSHINE that all we do, is use Cellular devices....

Some of us take real pix, that really show detail, -just enlarge my bottom pic, I think you can read the fine text on the cab..

I know it was facetious, but it had to be addressed.

My continued apoliogies to those that are struggling with the photo sizing, hope they reconsider....

For those who do not the easy way out with Firefox.

Most people are clueless about clearing History, Cookies, Cache, etc.

Have fun.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Here's Franks further response to my complaint

I really wonder where the positive response is coming from

Can't be the IE 8 users

Hello!

I am sorry you feel this way. We do have many complaints coming in, but we are also having way more positive feedback about the site. The new site is not 100% complete yet, and will have all the needed features (such as easy access to links via hovering over the image) when we migrate all users within the next few months. The support team is here to help you out if needed, have a great day!

The new Beta Photobucket is another prime example of "Not all improvements are". Change just for the sake of change rarely ever works.

Marlon, while I get your point, I doubt that the change was made just for the sake of change.

Photobucket, like all other web sites who change their appearance and function, undoubtedly had some specific objectives in mind.

The problem occurs in the execution of such changes.  Insufficient testing is usually at the heart of the problem. 

At one point in my career, I was a software programmer.  Pressure to get the job done, and on time, often led to programming errors that were overlooked until the user came back to us with complaints.

I am just wondering why people are putting up with it. The "old" and familiar bucket is just one click away ...

Until Photobucket shuts down the older site  - - - which will come sooner than later.

I know - but do I have to spend my time doing the testing of the beta version - only to find out it is not doing what I want it to do? I doubt that anyone in here is doing a thorough testing and then write a report on all the flaws for Photobucket.
