Used to be great

Our property website relies on Nextgen and worked wonderfully until Photocrati got hold of it. Now I have the nightmare of trying to get things to work again, such as reading from a feed and creating a post with nextgen galleries, with no help. Not many people have used Nextgen in the same way, so the forums do not supply the information I need. I have spent hours and have a site that now has problems and issues. Eventually, I will figure it out. Maybe it will be easier to start again with a new plugin and scratch this one.
Each problem I come to is more hours of work, with no answers.
