PLEASE BE AWARE OF A MAJOR PHOTOBUCKET PROBLEM

Too add some confusion here, I made sure my cam was set to 640 range. Uploaded to PB but they came out 708. So I went to view library, moved mouse over thumbnail till the tool icon showed. Clicked edit media, clicked adjustment, clicked resize, typed in 640/480 clicked apply, then clicked save and replace! They all show up now on PB as they are 640/480 BUT they still come up in a post as 708/1024. Does making a change a PB take some time to show or do I have to entirely delete and start over? Shame it was a pictorial  for a build along and figured I had it done and deleted pics from camera.

when you edit an image IN photobucket, it allows you to save the image as the original name or as a "copy" name.  make sure to save it as the original name.

if you've resized a wide image to 640 wide, then saved it as the original name, your posted image will show the new size, BUT you must refresh/reload your browser so that the browser's cache gets updated with the new image size.  check it out and see!  that should do it!

Photobucket FAQs also state that it may take up to 40 minutes for the resize to adjust permanently on their site... Yet another PB downfall.

Hi Rob: You asked about IMGUR auto resizing. On your images page, to the left are a couple of buttons. One is auto-resize imports, which allows you a number of choices from the drop down, including a 600x ____, for web pages. You can have it off or on, and import a lot of images with resize, or just one. On the image page for each image, it gives a number of choices for the type of  address that fits your application. Pretty simple. - Jay Campbell

excellent jay, thank you sir!

folks, here's a pictorial on how to use the free image archiver,  www.imgur.com  ...

Thanks for the option.

The imgur looks very slick... Indeed.

some long weeks ago, I had similar issues pre-new PB update...they then told me it could take 36hrs to 48 hrs to update...they recommended that one choose Save As Copy and then use the copy as that was instant...just not if your replaced original.

I've been complaining to them vociferously for months... they quit responding LOL

Well, I have already mentioned it a few times without getting any response, but I will try again. Why not ask the Admin/forum owner to register the forum with Tapatalk, free for the forum owner. No more hazzle going through Photobucket, post pics directly from a smart phone or IPad. Used by thousands of forums across the world. Bue--.

if you have a suggestion for trad gang, it's best to pm or email an admin or mod rather than making a post that might not get seen.

in any event, sorry - tapatalk will not function with flat file database forums such as trad gang's ubb classic.  it's meant to work with certain relational database forums like php, vbulletin, sm, mybb, and just a few more.

Rob,
Thanks for the info. I'm just about done with photobucket...
I think I'll try something else.
Thanks again

the absolute best thing everyone can do is learn how to crop, resize, and enhance the focus of images right in their own pc.  there are more than a few excellent and free and simple to use graphics apps for pc, apple and linux.  once yer image looks great in your pc, choose any online image archive and upload - confident that your posted image will be the right size and looking its best.

That's exactly what I have been doing since PB made the change.  Works excellent and fustration level way down.      :D  
Thanks for all your efforts on this Rob, very much appreciated.

With a little help from Jay Campbell and Imgur I think I'm up and running again.  Goodbye Photoshop, I'll not look back just as you didn't look ahead.

I guess I am the only one who has had no problems with the new photobucket. It resizes my photos with no problems. I have a bunch of photos on there and when I transitioned to the new site, I had no problems, I still upload and my photos are automaticly resized.

No real problems to speak of on my end either with the new photobucket. I made the switch because I am "assuming" that eventually we will not have the option of old and new versions.

I have not seen the option of automatically converting all uploaded pictures to a certain size, and that is not something I am interested in anyhow. I simply resize pics I want to share here.
