Anyone else having trouble linking to Photobucket images?

It seems that the look of Photobucket changed recently and I'm having trouble copying the code needed to link to photos.

In my album, I mouse over the thumbnail and the different code options come up as usual. I click in the appropriate field to get it highlighted, then right-click on that, and the drop-down menu with the "Copy" option in it comes up, as it always did. But when I move the cursor down to the "Copy" option, the whole Photobucket option box disappears and I am left with the second pop-up list that has the "Copy" option in it, but the Photobucket pop-up is gone and I can't copy the link.

This only seems to happen with Firefox browser, and it was working fine until yesterday, no Firefox updates or anything, I'm running the latest version.

Anyone else have this going on?

Just tried it (in firefox) to see what you're talking about.

Yep, they changed it, and yep it sucks!

If you go into the picture, the links there still work.

Yup, thanks. That's what I did and its a PIA to have to do that when listing auctions on ebay. I could always just copy it from the thumbnail before. Hope it's just a glitch with the change and they can fix it. I sent their CS an email.

Edit: Just did some searching on the PB site, they are working on this glitch.

I meant they fixed the Firefox copy glitch. Sorry you lost your photos, a real PIA.
