Have you managed to log in using your old login and password? If so got to upload and browse the files as per normal and hit upload. It's fiddly but most of the stuff there now is tab related with little arrows scattered about here and there for you to spend ages finding and click on.
I didn't even bother trying to link my account with my Farcebook account. Too much like giving over control to them. But if that's what you want to do, I'm sorry I can't help you there.
Keep plugging away at it. Like you I can't understand why they feel the need to change everything, it's the same with Hotmail now, the new version's s#it.

You could try contacting them & explaining your problem.................if however you still can't upload or move your photos around, sometimes just opening another account is the easist solution.
It took me quite a while to get used to their new format, it seems to be more orientated now towards people uploading directly from Facebook & the like & whizzing 'em around the various social networks rather than for dull numpties like me who just want to store pics & occasionally post them on forums.

Yeah, I got that impression too. Which is why out of sheer bloodymindedness I didn't link my account to Farcebook.
Its not hard after you use it a couple of times. If you take photo's with your phone download the photobucket app and it will upload direct to your account.

It's not that it's crap, it's just that the latest upgrade is such a dramatic change to the system, it takes a while to figure out all the bells and whistles. Classic case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." It seemed fine before for me. Oh well.

I'm not such a technophobe (I can point out which is the monitor and which is the keyboard on my first attempt. Me clever!) but even I struggled getting the damn thing to work for me as it should. Just simply getting the login and password box to appear took several clicks around different routes until it appeared.
Anyway glad you got it sorted. Well done.
Used it a few times recently and it seems pretty clunky to navigate, plus its trying to get me to do things through Facebook which I've just left after realising that much of Facebook is a pile of steaming dog eggs.
The usual login username and password box not appearing when I click to find it is irritating, obviously the part where you can login through Facebook is unaffected.
Oh and when I upload pictures its started to put them into the order of the dates I took them on, which is a pain an the backside when I find an old picture I want to describe something with and it hides it in the few months ago section.
If I put it onto photobucket today, I want it easy to find.
Seems its really optimised for the people who put everything they ever do on Facebook and to be honest I avoid those people like the plague.

Friend request sent. Biker and 5 other likes your post too
Sorry couldn't resist it.You're right about the login thing. I had to go to the sign up to Photobucket as if I were a new customer, only then would the login box appear. Another example of them herding everyone towards Farcebook and hopefully cashing in once they start charging people to use Farcebook. I bet it's only a matter of time before there's a nominal payment being charged. Bit like drugs, get 'em hooked while they're young then slowly raise the price.
Yep me too, although I've set it for 'latest photos first" I very often have to sift through scores of pages to find the new uploaded photo(s) stealthily concealed amoung random 'older' photos. Talk about wasting time & raising blood pressure................mind you, Facebookers do seem to have an awful lot of time to waste.
Amen.
Thanks to a tip from somebody here I always use www.imgur.com
It is simplicity itself; it gives you a resize option and the link you need to post the image.
Give it a whirl.
