Tips & Warnings
For additional assistance not found in the forums, contact the Photobucket tech department on the 'Help' link of the homepage.
The minimum age allowed on the forums is 13, though this is difficult to regulate since any birth date can be entered upon registration. Since the forums are open to the public and not entirely regulated, it is best to monitor children using Photobucket forums.

how do I send just one picture. The whole album is being sent by e-mail when I just click on one photo. The other day it asked me if I wanted to send the whole album and I did but now I can't send just one picture.

Photobucket closed their forums this year and fired most of their customer service staff. They had massive layoffs. Don't even bother to try getting help from them now. They rely on auto-response emails and when you do get a real person response they are clueless and no help at all. Guess Fox doesn't believe customer service is very important. It's a shame because the forums were really helpful not only for account problems, but lots of other computer issues as well. In the TIPS AND WARNINGS section it says you can email the tech department. NO YOU CAN'T, you go to a customer service team that knows very little about how to solve problems. The only people who were good help were the forum administrators and they are gone now.
