I actually felt the old one to be more easy to use, more "direct". Les style and more functional. Scrabook worked well on normal and small screens, this one takes up too much space. Also, I think it makes simple actions such as edit/rename and get link a more convoluted process - it was easier and took less time than now. I appreciate the dedication to keep Livejournal alive, but I can't say I like this change.
On the practicality: I don't like it that the "sort by" doesn't stick. I want the folders sorted by name, but every time I open scrapbook, I get the folders sorted by last update.
The puzzle look must be fixed. Unfortunately not everyone post pics all of the same size, so we don't get the look of the screencap above with dear Frank. We want that look: uniform rows!
Also BLOODY INFINITE SCROLL. BRING BACK PAGINATION.
Edit: wanted to thank you for offering the survey. I learned to never expect sites staff to listen to feedback, but at least you made the effort to ask for our opinion - which is something elsewhere staff don't bother to. It's appreciated. I filled the survey with the many things I think that should be fixed or improved, so I'll say here that there are some good sides on the update. The bigger thumbs are a good improvement (I don't like that there's no fixed height, and the "puzzle" look that comes of it)! And, while not much fan of it, the new "album cover" style is functional. I fear the new style looks better on bigger screens (my notebook is set to 1366x768 resolution), but all in all works. If you somehow fixed the "puzzle" organization, and reintroduced pagination (oh, and the "sort by" to stick!), I would be fine. The rest I'll try to adapt.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll consider the most popular points - there is always room for improvement for every feature.
Yet speaking of pagination - it's there. Pages switch when you scroll, but you can also use arrows or just click the number of the page you want to reach.
