LJ's Crapbook is unworkable (at least for me)

Today I tried putting links I'd saved to my old Naarmamo albums (the links worked last year) and discovered that all the links took me to the album collection index page. I wasted a lot of time trying different approaches, and finally I gave up and put in a Support Request.

Can't get to my Scrapbook photos.

No matter what album URL I try it all reverts to the scrapbook page showing the lists of albums.

http://entropy-house.livejournal.com

Pasting the URL into the address bar, clicking on the album cover photo, clicking on the album name, clicking on the number of photos- none of it works. I have 2 browsers and neither one could get to the photos. It all just goes back to the same collection index page.

The ONLY way I could get to an album was by uploading a new image to it (and that changed the URL from 'livejournal.com/photo/album' to 'livejournal.com/album'), and even then it only got the thumbnails of the photos and clicking on a thumbnail brought me back to the same collections index page. And trying the changed url (without the 'photo') gave me a Not Found error page.

I tried using Upload a new image to get to an album, and then edit to move a photo from the old album to a new one. The new album showed up on the list, but again, I couldn't get it to open.

I went to the faqs and found a link to the URL 'http://entropy-house.livejournal.com/pics/catalog' but again, that brought me to the same non-functional album index page.

Here's a number of albums I tried.

And here's the URL it goes to when I tried to upload a new image.

There were SO many many reasons to leave, I can't even list all the ones I recall. LJ became an environment of incompetence, greed, and hostility towards the users.

Currently it seems to be mostly apathetic, which is actually an improvement, sad to say.
