Pix dot ie
So I stumbled upon pix photo album site. Had a bit of a look around and signed up so you can see some of my pictures here. Firstly I must say signing up was a large PITA! I know some forms let you away with minimal information but this form required all details but didn’t say that they were compulsory. Nowadays forms have “Enter the text you see in the image” unfortunately I found the text very unclear and only after a failed attempt did it look clearer.
Finally logged in and you see this

This their date stamp is *ahem* off my a wee bit.
But I shall have a gander around and see what it’s like, nice to see an alternative to yahoo flicker.

Update:
Thanks for the heads up! This has been fixed in this morning's build, and should be on the site in a few hours..
So the problem should be resolved now

Hi Laura,
Sorry to hear that you found the signup process to be a PITA!
We just want to ensure that those who sign up are actually real people and not bots wanting to take advantage of the storage space we are offering.
Cheers for the bug report, we really appreciate all the feedback we can get!
The site just went live last night and we are working to the agile methodology of “release early, release often” and hence the site went live in “beta”. We are aware of a number of cosmetic bugs and these are all being addressed. We are also actively working on *lots* of additional features which will be appearing in the coming days and weeks. So if you give us a chance, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!
Thanks for your support!

Marcus, I agree, but on some forms you either see a ‘*’ denoting a mandatory field or saying mandatory field. It’s just a small thing and overall I do like the site. I’m sure like most things, there will of course be some teething problems to be expected. Best of luck with it and I’ll upload more pictures when I get a chance:)
