Photobucket is becoming harder to use. Too much flash crap is getting in the way of just uploading a picture and making a link to it. Does anyone have a file storage site they like which is as simple as Photobucket was a couple of years ago.

I switched over to using http://tinypic.com/. No fuss, no muss, just upload the pic and you get HTML and several other flavors of codes. They just host the pic. No albums, no accounts, nothing complex.

The down side can be finding your pics later. You don’t get an account there, it just stores pics. You have to remember where they were stored. It will store your last few pictures in a cookie on your computer, if you allow the cookie, but that’s the extent of your history with that site.

I cringe every time is see "new/improved/upgrade" on a website or product or software.

Change for the sake of change is not always better.

I agree that Photobucket has too much 'flash crap'. That is true with many websites that think they have to have the 'flash' for flair.

Just this morning, I turned off -- AGAIN -- Google's new and improved 'personal' search page, and I returned to the old standard, white, non-glitzy, plain wrapper, search.

I'd like to know the answer to that.

I used to be able to screencap, upload to Photobucket, and post to FR within 8 seconds. Now, it takes 20-30 seconds to upload per screencap to go through the process.
