Photobucket
So...on the off chance you guys use it, what do you think of the new re-designed site? I personally hate it, and just read they can't go back to what it was before. I am now not using it, Imageshack is better anyway.
EDIT: Let me explain why: It lost all of it's user-friendliness, to upload something you need to go to a separate page, navigating between albums is now done with pop-ups and it takes forever, the stats and stuff like that are on the RIGHT, not the LEFT. And a lot more that I don't care to mention.
Almost everyone wants it back, and pro users are irate. Good thing I didn't become one.

Re: Photobucket
So, now that I'm not there, I'm gonna give you guys my home page for ImageShack. It'll be in the first post.

Re: Photobucket
Personally, I don't mind. It's just there as an image storage area for some of my websites and for my Scratch signature. Additionally, Photobucket has more control over what is uploaded to the website as opposed to Imageshack and has been more compliant with copyright law, so I'm not inclined to get rid of it right away.
In my opinion, I think most users are irate because they're just not used to seeing things shifted around - when they get around to learning the controls, it will probably become less annoying.

I'm sure they will. But still, it's just a generally bad layout.

Beh, I still have to test it out to see any big cons, and right now, I'm not finding any on my Photobucket account.

I may be a "different" computer user, as I prefer speed, efficiency, and user-friendliness over anything else. And the menu on the right just bugged me. To some it may not bother them. But it did to me.

Hmm, Photobucket runs faster here on my end. In fact, it's loading faster than usual. (Maybe it's because my internet connection might be faster than yours.)
Actually, for me, I'm liking the changes in general. For me, it's more streamlined and less cluttered. Differing opinions, I guess.

No, it's the whole site design that bugs me. Not the connection speed (6megs).
