stangeba Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Picasa from Google works fine for me. I'm using CHROME on a 10 year old DELL running XP Pro. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CKZ03 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 I looked into that but I think it said you can only upload 10 a day? Is that correct? I'm looking to upload hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and we do not have the space for hundreds from everyone I have used photobucket for years, what kinds of problems are you having?

CKZ03 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Its probably more of an issue with my computer but im not sure. Computer is locking up frequently during pic transfers from photobucket to the FGMCC site. Becomes unresponsive and have to end program. Of course then I need to log back into both and start all over again. This really sucks when your in the middle of a post with several photos inserted, have to start the whole post over again. Could be my internet is kicking out also, but the only time I have these problems is during photo transfers. I dont have any clue, think I need the geek squad. Im no rookie at computers but not an expert either. Let me know what you think Ian. Also can a post be saved as a draft prior to actually posting?

cudax Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That has happened to me a couple of times but has cleared up since. I wrote it off as a server thing on my end but ti was a little frustrating at the time. Â Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte70car Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That almost sounds like a data speed issue to me, with how big of a picture you transfer over. Have you tried to resize a photo in photo bucket and then transfer it over to the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterdam84 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Or try another browser. I use ie when I have to and chrome for everything else. Covers all my bases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCfan Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have a question, photo bucket changed and now I dont know how to post a picture from there to here can anyone help me? Â Steve, Â I got really irritated with PhotoBucket last week when they switched me to their new Beta version of software without even asking me. I was in the middle of creating a large photo journal and suddenly lost the ability to organize the photos in the order I needed. Â They have a Feedback mechanism so I wrote to them about the problem they created for me. They wrote back yesterday with a solution: simply go back to the original version by clicking on that option in the upper right corner of the Beta home screen. I did that and I'm back in business. Â Their Customer Support Rep, Frank, was very polite in explaining that their new Beta version does not yet have all the functionality of the original version, including the drag-and-drop Organize function I was trying to use. I simply cannot believe they would ever make a sub-standard version available to the public, much less start switching their users to it without even asking them!!! Â I asked them to let me know when their new version was at least functionally equivalent to their original version and I might consider switching to it. In the meantime, I am only going to use the original version (or none at all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangeba Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Sounds like an IE problem, switch to CHROME! It's so much faster. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCfan Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sounds like an IE problem, switch to CHROME! It's so much faster. Bruce  Bruce, unfortunately it works exactly the same with IE or Chrome - I use them both and tried them both. The problem is with PhotoBucket's Beta software - they are pushing it out before it's ready.  Guess they should learn how to prematurely launch new software versions like Microsoft - give it a fancy name (not Beta!), make it an automatic update (so users have no choice like IE9) and announce termination of support for the prior version (as they always do)!!

Leghome Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 What are you going to watch your grandsons do? LOL LOL LOL And don't go teaching them any of your bad habits like I do to my grand kids, it makes their mother very unhappy but Gramps would have it no other way..
