    I've just started using it but am finding it a royal pain in the arse regarding rotating images.
    Maybe someone here has experience with this site?
    I find nearly all the portrait orientated images (which i've rotated in Windows prior to uploading) sometimes display correctly in Photobucket but sometimes display landscape.
    I've been using their inbuilt image editing thingy to "rotate" them correctly and sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't.
    It's wierd, if i hit f5 to refresh the page sometimes the ones i've rotated are correct, but sometimes they all go back to landscape.
    WTF?

    I use Photobucket to host images online. Have done for a long time.

    It's ussually OK but does give weird problems. I do recall when I did upload a load of images from an event & they all seemed to be Portrait. I just selected the images & did a batch rotate on them.

    Photobucket is for my bulk stuff & I put any decent images on Pix.ie & find it excellent.

    I have used it and found no problems. The interface is pleasant and the colours seem to shine well in Photobucket. Also the size of the main photo makes work look more impressive than when it is in Flickr:

    Exactly what CabanSail says.
    I use it for storing screenshots & funny pics

    But for photos and easy rotation, use Pix.ie

    How do you perform a batch rotate?
    Some of these images appear landscape on the main album view screen, but when i click on the "organize" link, a few of them appear portrait.
    Makes no sense really.
    I had bulk uploaded another directory and they came out just fine.
    Having first rotated the images in Windows prior to uploading.
    This batch didn't work at all, yet they all display fine in windows.

    Those who say, use Pix.ie instead; that's grand but people can't "order prints" from that site so it's not suitable.
