You can adjust you privacy setting on this menu as well, just click "edit" next to Public and choose the right setting. If you would like to add this new album under an existing album, just select it from the drop down menu. 

 

You can also create a new album in the Organize view.

When viewing your Library or Album, click Organize in the upper right corner of the screen:

Naming Tips:

  • Album names must be between 2 and 50 alphanumeric characters. Photobucket recommends that you keep album names as short as possible, because some sites limit the length of URLs. By keeping the names short, you ensure your images will work on all sites.
  • The following characters are allowed:
  • upper or lowercase a-z
  • 0-9

Note: You may see an error message when you try to rename or delete albums with apostrophes. If you have a special character in a name, please try to rename the album and remove the characters.

  • Special characters, such as @ ' ~ $ # % , . / \ ( ) [ ] + = are not allowed.
  • Avoid using the word "banner" in your album names because some browser and firewall security settings will prevent this album from being visible.

Enter a description for the album.

Select the Add as an album to checkbox if you want to add your new album to an existing album, then choose the album to which you want to add the new album.

Note: Albums can only be five levels deep within the default album. For example: myalbum> album1 > album2 > album3 > album4 > album5.

Choose the album privacy setting: Public, Private or Password Protected.

Click Create album to create the album. A success message and your new album display.
