Why do they keeping fking about with it?

I can see there are photos there as it says my album has 475 photos in it but does not display them any longer and you can't link to them quickly without downloading the entire album, taking several minutes and even then I don't think you can easily weblink to them.

It was so easy before; hover over image and select the IMG code.

Well done photobucket clap

I have been thinking about this for a while as photobucket are continuously fiddling with their bloody application.

This has done it for me now, I have no use for a photo website where you are unable to see anymore than thumbnails and cannot grab links to them.

Just have to upload all my 1000 or so images (if I include all albums) again which is a PITA!

I select default album and there is just a blank page.

I spent 30 mins refreshing again and again and it's no different.

I can download the entire album only (which I have to do to see anything), I can also edit photos but it does not display the usual thumbnails which ordinarily, I'd see all photos and just hover over to grab the IMG code to post on a forum etc.

They keep fiddling with the way stuff is diplayed, it's just annoying now.

fk it to photobucket! biggrin

Mine's the same, but I don't have any photos in my "default album"

Without wanting to use a euphemism involving egg sucking you're sure you've got photos in there?

All mine are in their own albums

That would be good but I can't see content in any album - I can see the albums and an example photo (the last one I uploaded) but that's all.

Indeed...

It really is quite simple, but it's easier to sort them into sets and/or collections if you do them one set or collection at a time (or at least I do anyway!) That way you can keep track of what's what...

Of course, if you're not fussed about sets/collections, select all the pics and upload them all in one go...

Don't forget though...

FlickrFAQ said:
On a free account, Flickr limits the number of photos displayed.

If you have fewer than 200 photos, we display them all. If you have more than 200 photos, only the most recent 200 are displayed.

Your photos are not removed from Flickr, only from the list of your photos. If you blogged a photo and it no longer appears in your list, it will still appear on your blog, and the photo's Flickr page will still work just fine.
and...

FlickrHelp said:
When you have a free Flickr account, you can upload 2 videos and 100MB worth of photos each calendar month.

While the 100MB bandwidth limit for photos is firm, we do allow a little leeway for video in case you encounter transcoding errors, sound sync weirdness, etc. You will be able to delete and upload a new video. Please note, that if we determine you’re abusing your free video upload privileges, we may block your ability to share video.

Your upload limits are reset to zero at midnight in Pacific Time Zone (Flickr headquarters time) on the first of each calendar month. You can't recover any of your monthly allowance by deleting photos. If you have a free account, you'll see your limit on the upload page.

If you find yourself hitting your limit, try a pro account. Or, you can shoot your photos at a lower resolution or resize them to be more "web-friendly" (like 300KB instead of 5MB).
It's a about £16 ($25) for a Pro account... which isn't bad considering there are pretty much no limits...

Bizarre - Sounds like a database issue or something

You're not a paid for member I take it? I'd be moaning to their technical support team if it were mine

I had to upgrade to pro when I uploaded my photos from the Elefantentreffen - used 10GB bandwidth in a few hours and another 200GB in the week following, $40 for two years wasn't too horrendous even for a notorious software tightarse like me
