PhotobucketReviews 211

This is as bad as it gets. None of my videos load without an error. Most don't load at all. The help is useless. Trying to cancel an account must be done through an email to one person that will give you a free four month offer instead of cancelling the account. I have had several videos not load. Several tags not tagged. I found out later, every title, comment or typing you do, must be instantly followed with a SAVE command. Even that works half of the time. Duplicates end up occurring because an error message i loading was a false alarm, which is rare. Customer support got access to my video and had no help other than telling me I had nice pictures of fish. Remember you have NO PRIVACY with this joker. Avoid like the plague because this website will haunt you.

The redesign of this site has made it drop from one of the BEST resources on the Internet to one of the worst. Don't be surprised if it folds quickly! If you have photos on there now, I'd suggest you get copies of them quickly! There changes help the site maximize its tracking ability and up its page views, but at the GREAT expense of its usability. While these changes may help pull in a little more revenue, its going to backfire big-time as users leave in droves and its reputation plummets.

I used Photobucket for years until they mangled the service by taking away the Fotoflex editor and forcing Pixlr on all the unsuspecting and loyal users without so much as a warning before they did it.
Then when customer uproar became too loud they deleted all the user help forums, added Pixlr tutorials to replace the outrage, and locked them so no further comments of questions could be posted by anyone except a Pixlrbucket employee.
I cancelled my paid account. (I no longer am getting what I paid for) and am still waiting on a "Why they did this without asking customers" reply going on months now.
I no longer feel safe and secure on their site and I refuse to use it because at any time they can change a major part of their service with no warning and no apology and not a care for what you think, weather you pay or not.

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.

A great website for sharing (or storing) photos.

This site even helped me out as I was trying to send images to my (FORMER) car insurance company after an accident but they "could not accept attachments over 1 MB". (Why did they ASK me to send pictures then?!) I simply uploaded the images (simple, easy, and FREE) to Photobucket.Com, then pasted the url's into an email to the crappy FORMER car insurance company and "magically" the insurance company had the images.

Handy place to store images you use often for emails, websites, blogging, etc.
