Ewww, keyboard! I hate when that happens. Though I quickly learnt to make good friends with the on screen keyboard :D
I hadn't heard about their upgrade of scrapbook, but you're right - the old system is/was awful. Photobucket is awful too, in different ways (mainly all the flash boxes and stupid sign up pop ups and SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE buttons that are embedded all over the page). I miss having online space to host stuff at, ugh. And out of interest, how WOULD you like icons and small stuff to be displayed? I don't have terribly many myself, but what I do have is mildly irritating to work through to find the link for the one I want. I can only imagine what your lj scrapbook must look like. (Also - it's probably not a perfect solution either, because it's one of the stupidest systems I've ever worked with, but have you thought about facebook? As far as I know there's no imposed limit on pics or albums there, and the one good thing they do have is the private-made-public album IF you have a direct link. I have a bunch of private albums there for uploading stuff to lj, and I can easily let people I choose see if with that public url. But the downside is facebook, ugh.)
