Chortle Chook Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've been trying to put a nice picture on the Omlet forum, but alas, I'm having problems with Photobucket I managed to go into it and log in as usual, and even managed to upload a picture to it but now it has gone all greyed out and won't let me click on a thing. Bang in the middle of the screen, over my photos, is a box all about their new library design with two two buttons 'Skip' and 'Start the tour' I can't click on either of these buttons and all about the screen colour is grey. Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 They've 'improved it worse' I'm afraid... the software upgrade they did a week or so ago seems t have rendered it useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've just been over there & I see what you mean. I've tried to click on the bit in the top right hand corner that says 'Switch back to the original Photobucket' but it does nothing. I can't see any of my photos at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'v just had a look and it seems fine for me. What browsers are you using? I'm using Chrome which is normally rubbish for most new updated websites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I accessed it using Chrome the other day and it was playing at silly devils then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm using Internet Explorer vs7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've just checked (on Chrome) and it's fine for me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I'm using Internet Explorer vs7 Update to the lastest version of IE (which I think is version 9) or switch to another browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've got the latest version of IE through work - thought it was 7 but if not then whatever the vs is and Potobucket is still all grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Download Chrome instead... it's miles better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I can't download Chrome as I have to use what work provides Actually if I was to choose I'd use Firefox Anyway I've managed to sort things out - this is how in case anyone needs to know: I used a search on Google to get back to the photobucket home page, logged in, then clicked on the link (top right) which allows you to go back to the original rather than the beta version, filled in their little form about what was going wrong, and now am blissfully back to how things were - till next time I hadn't realised that I'd been put on a 'beta' therefore trial version, till I looked at the URL.

The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Odd that they changed it without asking you first. Mine is still on the old style. Perhaps they were just trialling it on a few users; a friend has had the same problems as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Mine is the new version, with 'stories' which I quite like I wish I knew how to organise the photos into an order as it mixes them all up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I haven't logged on to photobucket for years. I got so fed up with it never working. One reason why I don't post images anymore, even though I would love to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 With this more recent version of the forum software, you can post images from blogs, facebook and other sites; you didn't used to be able to on the older versions.

That's what I did as well - I didn't like the look of the new version and didn't have time to find out.....I just needed to click on the buttons I knew.
