I can upload pics from my computer onto my Photobucket library but then can't share them.
That is why I am not posting anything. I CAN'T.

I'll be honest, Jerry; I hear a lot of people grouse about the photo system on Kitmaker.net and recommend using Photobucket instead, but I have to say: once you get familiar with Kitmaker's system it's pretty easy and reliable to use. On the other hand, Photobucket problems--at least from what I have observed in the threads--seem to be pretty common.

Yes...
I feel your pain.
I did not build / post for two years and I couldn't remember how to show my PhotoBucket pics.

You have to right click on the image you want (after opening it in the Bucket view window). Pick the copy image address and paste that into the Armorama [img] code

Works every time...

There isn't enough storage on Kit Maker to be very useful.

KitMaker method of posting is not very friendly. It takes some planning to post anything with pictures and if you have to pull the post back to re-edit it is really unfriendly. I found it easier just to start over again.

OK,and there it is. I did absolutely nothing different this time but now it works ?

I tried Matts suggestion of using the direct link but it just showed the link and not the pic. OK,that is how that always worked and then I did the last selection on the PB page like I used to so it shows the pic instead of the link and boom,it works again,just like always.
The mysteries of the interwebs.

Photo Bucket is a pain most of the time lately.They tend to make changes and not inform people.
I still like it when it works.I don't like the new save tab on every pic.If I wasn't planning to save it why would I download it???

I've never had an issue, unless the PB site was down. I always use
the "direct link" with {img} tags and remove the "~original" from the URL.

Also I never use the HTML option and I lock the libraries I want to keep private.

Hi all,
Photobucket has turned into a nightmare.
I wanted to post some pics for 3 days now.
They want more money,but I can't get them to put it through.
There customer service is terrible.A phone number to talk to a human would help.Has anyone found one?
All their reviews are bad.They most have someones kid doing the site.I hope a photobucket person sees this.

When Photobucket works it's great but it often doesn't.

Also edit tools and save edit are always glitchy. I suggest you do your editing at home using GIMP then upload.

The pop-up ads are downright stupid and a terrible nuisance for those of us with eyesight issues! I never try to assume that I'll be able to upload images or get anything done online anymore. I just plan to come back later when I might just get lucky.

It appears to be running a lot better. Specially after I changed my password ! I was probably hacked,although I don't know why anyone would bother hacking a PB account ?
Nobody seems to miss my posts anyway ! LoL

Jerry,
You have so many wonderful projects going that it's difficult to keep up. I do miss your work on the 'Elbe' dio though. ... Hint, hint!

Nice of you to say buddy ! This is my way of keeping the quality of work going though. I have to take breaks from the bigger project and finish some smaller ones. I did the same on the Falaise dio,

I'm giving up.
Can't even get to my account.A restricted and upgrade window appears you can't get rid of.Go to upgrade and after all the info I can only choose a State,not a Province so it rejects all my info.Photobucket has been absolutely NOOOO help.

Hi David,
Do you use this to post here?
I have professional photographers at work and asked one of them to try login to my Photo bucket and even they said it was ridiculous.They recommended imgur.
Your opinion PLEASE.
