zeitgeistic at Livejournal, come on.Alright, I am not drunk enough to deal with this, so I'm just going to put out this PSA:
Livejournal Scrapbook is going away and will be replaced by the mysterious "Photo Album". Your 10GB of Paid Member space is now 2GB. If you care, there is an explanation in Russian on the Russian news page. There's also a user-submitted translation.
+ You will no longer have access to your Scrapbook once this goes live.
+ Your images will redirect, but the URL will be different.
+ Unable to tell what will happen to any photos you have that put you over the 2GB limit.
+ Back up your Scrapbook just in case.
+ If you want your photos transferred over now instead of waiting, let them know here.
ETA:
Thanks tostoryfan for telling me about this (relevant comments on page 13): For now at least, you can still upload/manage your scrapbook via http://pics.livejournal.com/manage/.

Date: 2012-04-30 04:08 pm (UTC)From what I can tell based on what they actually said in that post and what someone posted in
1. The new Scrapbook -will- be able to host custom friends groups and all that -- in fact, unlike original Scrapbook, its styles and permissions will be LJ's permissions. (this is a +, and if anything an improvement over the current system)
2. Yes, any pics that are friends only will be private. This is because the current scrapbook's permssions don't line up with lj's permissions, so they can't reasonably migrate them automagically without adding lots of unnecessary stuff to the permission system. (this is annoying, but I can see why it's there. You could write something that would -try- to migrate the mess that is current scrapbook permission, but it wouldn't be pretty and there might be fail in the process).
3. There doesn't seem to be any validity to the rumor that the 10gb that paid users have now will go down to 2gb. This is never stated anywhere except for the rumor, and I've seen denials of same, so I have no idea where it came from.
