P: Facebook interface disabled and FB Publish Service Collections will be eventually removed

[JTA12]

Yes, I'm aware that the interface to Facebook is disabled, but WHY have you removed ALL my published catalogues??? As I have published more than 1000 images to Facebook, I'm now completely blind on which image and when!!!! I have no problem to understand the disabling of the direct publishing, despite the fact that it leaves LR sometwhat crippled in the usability, but why did you remove all my history???????

I suspect that Facebook would have to fix issues on their service, that Adobe has no way to help. If Facebook support can't/won't restore albums then you are going to be out of luck.

As this is an issue uniquely affecting Adobe customers, the hope is that Adobe would liaise with Facebook directly to rectify this. We as individuals have no way to get through to Facebook, as many of us have tried. Adobe, at a higher corporate level, surely has this ability. If we hadn't used Adobe services, this wouldn't have occurred, and it would be the right thing for them to step in.

My advice would be to move on. If Facebook was going to fix this, it would be fixed already.

I have been repeatedly reporting the problem to Facebook in the hopes that someone actually sees it and does something. I wonder if enough people do this enough times that they might have some incentive to intervene.

Just realized this has happened to me as well. I have a hard time conveying how gut-wrenching this is...

So, I've noticed this morning that albums back to 2017 have reappeared, but nothing from before then. My guess is this is when I started using Lightroom CC instead of Lightroom Classic. I only noticed as I started seeing some older posts come up in my Facebook Memories.

Is everyone else seeing the same?

Note the "Adobe Lightroom CC" app tag in the post.

Nothing here sadly. All my albums that disappeared were through LR Classic though. I've started trying to recompile some since it seems nothing will be done at this stage. Glad to hear they're coming back, even if partially, for some people though!

OMG.

The albums that had disappeared from Facebook due to this issue for the past few years have suddenly reappeared back on my Facebook! All of them!
(But all of these affected albums' privacy are now defaulted to "Only me", so you will need to change the album's privacy setting to the audience you wish to allow access to.)
I am stunned beyond belief. I hope everyone who has had the same issue also has this resolved and their valuble memories/captions/engagements restored.  *Fingers crossed* that this is permanent and will not disappear again.

OMG - I almost just fell off my chair! I can see them too! I can't believe this! I've been harbouring hatred towards Adobe for quite some time because of this, and resenting that I still need to pay them every month yet they clearly don't care.

I'd love to think that they did something actively to fix this...
