OMG Photobox sucks!!!
All I am trying to do is create some photo books of my little boy to send to his grandma. Firstly, I can't just do that; I have to sign up and create an 'album' on their site, which I am then to use to create a book. Then why give me the 'create a photo book' option? But ok, fine. After quite some searching and clicking, and eventually having to resort to the chat feature, I got there. Yay.
Except that then, after spending over an hour uploading albums so as to create photo books, carefully making sure that the photos in each album were arranged by date order, I use these to create a book and look! The order of all my photos is completely different! Again, I cannot change this despite quite some searching, so again I resort to the chat feature. And finally I am told that I will have to upload the photos "manually" if I want them in order. By "manually", do they mean "individually"? I ask - Yes! Indeed, I am then informed that the book creation page places photos arranged by size (size!) in RANDOM ORDER!!! Who arranges their photos by SIZE?!?! Who wants their photos in random order?!?! This despite the fact that the site apparently gives you various options for ordering your photos (e.g. A-Z, Z-A, oldest to newest, newest to oldest). It's just that these don't actually translate to any order at all when you go to actually use the album to create a book of your photos.
A complete waste of time. read more
