Photobucket... mass uploading pics to forums Q

Since photobucket has all changed it seems to me that its made it a great effort to mass post pics to forums.

Before it used to just upload the name of your image file. (for example 0001.jpg)
So if you were uploading alot of pics e.g. 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, 0003.jpg etc. you could just copy 1 direct link and then mass paste it in the topic box then just quickly change the number at the end (this is the way I used to do it anyway)

Now when you upload a new pic to photobucket it seems to randomly generate a string of numbers and letters after your image file e.g. 0001_zps2cefce88.jpg
Making it that you have to copy each direct link seperately for each image. So if you're going to share around 20-30 pics in a thread you have to copy each link individually, which takes ages.

Is there any way around this? or am I just being thick?

Cheers

i find that now you have to click on every image to find the individual code. its a pain.

In the top right corner there should be a button that allows you to go back to the old site.

I don't have that problem, but then I reverted back to the old style site like Sam has suggested before I uploaded, so I haven't experienced any additional add-on digits.

You were logged in when you converted back right? It remembers for me.
