Scrapbook Screw-Up

[paragraphs]

So, I am very much not alone in my anger over the way LJ Scrapbook has scrapped all its usefulness. This really is the last straw, LJ. I'm a picture person, this is why I have almost a thousand pics in my lj, THIS one, no telling on my old twisting_path which is jammed full of pictures too.

Guess when I am bored or watching iplayer or hulu or something I can just start moving them off here.

I am sad. I feel really, really sad that the one way I enjoyed using LJ is now gone.

What is the point of LJ, anymore???

YEah... I will go back to doing that I guess. GRUMBLE! SO many wonderful pics though, I am afraid I will lose so will snatch them off asap.

I'm a bit obsessive about making sure I have local copies of all my photos. And a double backup just in case.

I trust too much! Woe!

Like kattale, I first tried Scrapbook years ago and found it very cumbersome. Once I opened a Flickr account, I more or less abandoned it because copying and pasting the Flickr embed code was so much easier.

My main storage for photos is my computer, backed up to an external hard drive. Only the best make it to Flickr and I only use Scrapbook occasionally for photos I want to use to illustrate an LJ post but which are not good enough photos in themselves to be put on Flickr.

I regret ever starting to use Scrapbook! That is for sure! Sigh. :(
