Photobucket downgrade

So then, it seems Photobucket has made a few changes and they are not for the better. They've added a chaotic, glitchy, inefficient, laggy java layout, oh but that's not the kicker. A good many users have requested a classic mode to let them use the old version of photobucket which actually worked and, get this, the dumbasses over at photobucket claim, and I quote ". . . without detailed topics, it’s difficult to see what users really want. . ." yea, they said that. How hard is it to understand what a 'classic mode' is? It's not rocket science and obviously the 412 people who were supporting that suggestion topic understood what the topic was referring to rather easily, but you mean to tell me that the people at photobucket, who receive income for their site, are too stupid to understand what the users mean? Well then, they wanted specific, they wanted to play dumb, so they got specific. The next section is the topic I made when they tried to sweep the last one under the rug.

Topic Title:

Suggested changes to fix what you screwed up last downgrade. (And yes, it WAS a downgrade!)

----- 
 

The first thing I would suggest is allowing users to be able to use a ‘classic mode’ on their photobucket accounts, now you said that you needed us to be more specific, so either you’re too fricking stupid to know what a classic mode is or you’re playing ignorance, I think it’s the second factor honestly, due to how ‘business spin’ works. None the less, let me break it down for you:

Allow your users to, in their settings, select what version to use for their accounts, preferably the version that was active about a month or so ago. The version/build/programming set that actually worked. Now, if you’re having trouble understanding that, or plan on acting like you don’t understand what I mean, allow me to break it down for you even farther.

Allow people to choose to use the version of Photobucket that:

* Had the upload forum on every album page

*Allowed users to jump to the last page of their albums

*Allowed users to display over 24 images per page (40 per page I think it was before)

*Allowed users to do a manual copy and paste via right clicking when it is needed (the auto copy doesn’t always work)

*Doesn’t have all those stupid mouse over and pop up things, they are unnecessary.

*Shows file names under the thumbnails

*Has the previous format that was used a month ago, the view/format that was intuitive and easy/fast to use

*Doesn’t slow/crash people with lower end computers, while I don’t have this problem, some have said they do.

*Has the previous bulk uploader, it actually worked and was pretty fast, this new one is clunky.

*WASN’T a scripting hell with errors, failures, bugs, slow script time and other issues all over!

-------If I missed any key points, I hope the users feel free to add them in the comments section.

Was that specific enough for you? Or do you need it spelled out in kindergartener terms so you understand it? I’m not saying to fully trash the POS new format, just give us a damned option to use the older version! Considering that photobucket once had the option of using a ‘classic uploader’ on their pages, I’m pretty fricking sure you know what ‘classic mode’ means, so don’t play stupid, the customers are not sheep whole eat any BS you feed out of your hands like you seem to think we are. If this post sounds condescending to you then tough, because it’s rather condescending of you to mark high profile, active, highly supported threads/complaints/suggestions as completed and move them when you only tap a few points, ignore the main issue addressed and think that it’ll fool people. Bad business tactic Photobucket, you didn’t expect not to be called out on it, did you?

You said on one topic, and I quote: “Thanks to everyone for your feedback. We’ve already made some changes based on your suggestions, however, without detailed topics, it’s difficult to see what users really want. After reading all the comments in this topic, we are closing it (the status will be completed) in favor of more specific requests.” well, I hope this is specific enough for you, if not then you need a course in common sense.

Try to delete this thread and it’ll be right back, this isn’t a problem you can ignore and wait for it to go away, if you try to silence me, you’ll just have others willing to take up the charge, just like a few seem to already be trying to do.

Thank you, and have a nice day.

So then, do you think I was specific enough for the dumbasses, or do you think they're going to try to play stupid again? I will be updating this post with their reaction to that topic once they finally pay mind to it, and, well, if they don't then that's just going to prove they don't give a damn about their users , which will also mean a bit of public shaming for them because this post is going to sit up here for the world to see, they can delete the one on their suggestion forum, they can't touch this one. Others are already adding support to the hella detailed post I made, lets see if photobucket listens or if they're really that stupid.
