Is anybody else having weird issues with PhotoBucket?

I'm trying to access my albums and can't get to them. I don't understand why they have to keep changing up their format. This is ridiculous. Any other suggestions for photo hosting sites? I have a picture read for the B&W contest, but I can't access it.

Some will take you to the old site, some will default to the new site.

I had a lot of issues yesterday, not the least of which was when I finally was able to upload a photo, it posted it to my Facebook account! By the time I figured it out it had two likes and I was trying to delete it. Then a friend told me not to delete it because it had two likes. So, I left it up.

It was the color photo of my entry for that long thread. I couldn't do it with the new Photobucket, but was able to with the old one. Couldn't do this with Google Chrome, had to go with Firefox.

Change back to the old one and it should be fine.

I got a survey about the new version and told them what my problems were. I guess they haven't fixed them yet.

I use photobucket for family snap shots I want to share with the family and Flickr for "art" photography like the shots I share here.

I hated the new version of Photobucket, gave it a chance for a few days and found nothing about it that I liked better than the old version, so I switched back. But I'm guessing at some point we'll be forced to change to the new version.

I got tired of losing/misplacing my newly uploaded photos. Talk about clunky and unintuitive. It looked nice, though.

Other than that, I've been satisfied with PB, overall.

although I agree that the new version looked nice. Maybe they'll work out the bugs.

After about five seconds the page goes blank. Tried switching to the old version, but the same thing happens.
