Hmmm, I never have to login to photobucket. I also only get a pop-up once, usually when I start to scroll through the images. But, after I hit the "x" it never send any other pop-up. Yeh, I think your right about being slow. When I snap a picture on my phone, I have to wait like 30-45 seconds before I can take another picture. I am guessing that it is sending the image data.
I don't pay them anything, and I have been using it since I signed up here, 4 years? When I snap a picture using my normal iPhone Zoom Camera app, it immediately loads the image, and directs me to the photobucket app and the image that was just taken. I then click on "direct" and then navigate back to here and load the img.
I have had a couple of guys ask me how I set this up. My daughter did this for me, as with most of the things set up on that magical demonic box, but she says that it is inside the settings. I have gone through three phones since being here, and each time I load my programs onto the phone, the settings all follow me, so that I don't have to reset the settings.
But yeh, in this world of instant websites, 30-45 seconds seems like an eternity, unlike the days when we would send our prints to someone via snail mail after waiting two weeks for the drug store to process them.
