Good luck Blanca.
I recommend everyone upgrade their monitors. =) I have no issue with the larger photos on my desktop, laptop, or iPhone....
......and that iPhone screen is tiny.
Hope to post my whale trip report soon.

Photobucket changes.
Oh yeah, Photobucket tossed me a curve ball when they changed their format, too.
I have no problem with the sizing feature, as I have a resizer function already in my Pictures program. This can resize multiple photos when
transferring from camera to computer.
My problem with the new Photobucket format is doing a 'search'.
I have a few thousand photos on that site and I could always easily find one particular photo in my personal albums when I wanted to do a 'search'
using the photo title or description. But now, that feature seems to have disappeared...or at least my ability to find it has surely vanished.
The current search window I find searches the entire Photobucket contents. Hundreds of thousands from all subscribers. I just need to search my own.
So...can any of you Photobucket users tell me the new method to search out a particular photo in one's own albums by using a pic title/description?
Hey, I promise not to flood Baja Nomads with too many old Baja pics..
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Here's some software that will automatically move all your photos from one photo sharing website to another. Basic stuff with limitations. There may
be other applications that have more features.

Really, this supposed upgrade is insanely counterintuitive. Could they have messed this up more?

I haven't found it either Roger. I see no way to search just your own photos.
carpe diem!

New Photobucket Resizing (for now).

Let's see if I can post one and you can tell me if it is the appropriate size. I resize right on my screen and rename the photo, so I know it is the
smaller version. Hang on .....
NOPE. No go. I don't know how to then get the URL ... sorry. maybe someone else will be able to figure it out.

Blanca... after you upload a photo from your PC to Photobucket, put your mouse on the thumb image of the photo and then click edit (appears on the
photo), then click Resize (at the top of the edit window), now change the number on the left (width) of the two to 800 (max on Nomad) or 640 (large on
Nomad). The other number changes automatically. Click apply, check the box the asks to replace the original, and click Save.

I agree.
Isn't Photobucket part of Yahoo? Every time they improve something they make it worse, they did the same thing with yahoo mail.

That they took away features that they know are used (Upload Options, resizing during photo uploads instead of having to do each one after uploading),
seems counter-progressive!

I tell you what, they sure arent't listening very well. I myself have written numerous times to explain why I don't liek the new version.
I thought I was the only one who could not find my photos in the albums ...another glitch and a big one too.
Hope they fix all this soon ..
I don't understand why the resizer link does not work (and you are right Udo, it does not come up correctly) when I was able to download it to my
laptop !
I have no toruble seeing full sized photos on my monitor but I really do hate it when the photos are so large that you are looking at a corner and
then have to move mouse around to see portions of the pic. not fun.

It seems to want to sort by the date the photo was taken, instead of in the chronological order they were uploaded.

Here's what I can find out so far with the new Photobucket fiasco...and I'm still not sure of ANYTHING.
However, I may be on the right track.
To facilitate a certain photo search, I can click on the little downward-point arrow next to my user name...
...and then click on User settings..
...and then click on the Albums box...
...and then review Thumbnail settings and decide about what to do concerning Alphabetical by Title...whether or not to do that for just new
photos...or to do it for all existing photos. OR to list by oldest first, newest first, or what?
I am somwhat leery of selecting all existing photos because of being cautioned that this id change might screw up all previous uploads since day one.
Then the dreaded little blank box with the red X is all that will remain.
Good Grief, Charlie Brown! I now know the meaning of Angst.
Furthermore (as if I need any more)..what the heck is The Easy Linking Mode? I have the feeling that if I clicked on that box, all 11,000 photos
would be sent to some Russian internet cafe. 
Suggestions are implored.
Is it c-cktail time, yet?

I re-set my photos arrangement on the new Photobucket, as they were scrambled in each album. Re-organizing the order they appear has not (to me)
changed any of my thousand or so previous uploaded photos sizing... they are all still at the 640 or 800 pixel widths they were originally uploaded at
over the past 5 years.

Here is what the page looks like where you can change the arrangement of how the photos appear in your albums... I find 'Oldest first' is closest to
the Old Photobucket's 'Alpha. by file name' (which isn't offered in the new site).
As Roger stated:
1) click the down arrow, next to your Photobucket name, top right.
2) click 'User Settings'.
3) click 'Albums' right below 'Personal Information', top left.
4) pick one of three choices under 'Thumbnail Settings': Oldest first, Newest first, Alphabetical by title.
5) check the box just below: 'Sort all existing albums the same way'.
6) Click 'Save' at bottom of page.
ALSO... The same screen appears when you click 'Update Link Options' after clicking on 'Image Links' to the right of your photo edit page.
