they mangled the service by taking away the fotoflex editor and forcing pixlr on all the unsuspecting and loyal users
I used Photobucket for years until they mangled the service by taking away the Fotoflex editor and forcing Pixlr on all the unsuspecting and loyal users without so much as a warning before they did it. Then when customer uproar became too loud they deleted all the user help forums, added Pixlr tutorials to replace the outrage, and locked them so no further comments of questions could be posted by anyone except a Pixlrbucket employee. I canceled my paid account. (I no longer am getting what I paid for) and am still waiting on a "Why they did this without asking customers" reply going on months now. I no longer feel safe and secure on their site and I refuse to use it because at any time they can change a major part of their service with no warning and no apology and not a care for what you think, weather you pay or not.
deceptive practices!
I recently opened a Photobucket account. I had no idea that I had to watch my back so carefully with Photobucket, because they have always seemed to be a reputable, aboveboard company. I was wrong, and I now consider them criminally deceptive. In a yellow box, implying that it was REQUIRED information, Photobucket asked for my cell phone number. I'm ill...

I totally agree with you. Photobucket went down the toilet when they got rid of fotoflex. I'm locked in though in using Photobucket, because I need to clear out my space on my phone (since it has barely any space on it) and my laptop, because I have anxiety over drive space, because someone stole my flash drive, which was gigantic because it was a terabyte or more. The editors they keep on going over to aren't as good as fotoflex, and all photobucket is good for is for me to clear out space so there isn't a dead weight/shortage of bytes on my phone/laptop. The editors they have don't even have the simple things that MS Paint and the photo editor that's already on computer programs. Pixlr was also like a faux Photoshop, and was so hard to use. Their editors they have have "effects" which are just "basic filters, with no aesthetic" for people who take pictures. I used to take pictures, but not any more (anxiety). Fotoflex has it's own website and could be used, but it's so hard to navigate in fotoflex.com because sometimes the picture doesn't always save, and you have to go through an agonizing wait time and process to even get the picture you want to edit on the website and to download the edited picture. And somrtimes fotoflex.com has bugs, like it quits if you have the editor open for too long. This situation just sucks all the way around, and I can't even complain to photobucket that their website is "basic!"
