buttons, widgets, and notifications

ButtonsfadeMany of you use our Firefox extension, which makes it easier to save and use your del.icio.us bookmarks. Since we have a lot of Internet Explorer users too, we have just released an extension for IE that adds those same buttons to Redmond’s favorite browser. It runs on Windows 2000 and XP and supports IE 5.5, 6, and 7 (betas 1 and 2). Please give it a try and let us know what you think.

Linksforyou2We’ve also added a little feature to help you keep track of new links that people have sent you. Any time someone tags a link with “for:your username”, we now show the number of new links up at the top of the page. To clear the counter, simply visit the links for you page.

Finally, we’ve released support for TypePad Widgets, which let you add your del.icio.us linkroll and tagroll to your TypePad blog without having to edit your templates.

    Internet Explorer is only safe if you use Privoxy.

    I was so eagerly awaiting the IE release of this extension. Thanks so much.

    I hope you will format several other del.icio.us tools (http://tinyurl.com/rjkrr) for working with IE.

    I guess this will take care of the del.icio.us Internet Explorer Context Menu (http://www.unpossible.com/blog/archives/000086.html)

    The IE extension doesn’t seem to work for me. It installed successfully, and when I right click on the toolbar, I see it in the drop down of available toolbars, but every time I click on it, nothing happens. I have unlocked my toolbars, and this has not helped. When I right click again to get the context menu, it always remains unchecked, no matter how many times I click it.

    I have tried restarting my computer after the installation, and this also did not help.

    I’m running v6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519 on Windows XP SP2.

    the links for you notifier feature is sweet

  • Pedro  |  Jul 8 2006 at 8:56 am

    One suggestion/request from an happy user of delicious: please increase the limit of characters allowed in the description field. not much, but a bit more than the present limit.

    thank you :)

  • hAmid reZa  |  Jul 10 2006 at 3:44 am

    I have same request as Pedro, plus allowing use of some html tags (for linking to sources and …) in description field. It would have a lot of use in linkbloging.

  • keith_is_here_2004  |  Jul 11 2006 at 8:51 am

    I too second pedro’s request. HTML isn’t necessary and could be abused by spammers. I must, however, once again make a request for a phpBB style forum which will allow us to properly discuss del.icio.us, raise issues, suggest new features and generally give feedback.

  • charlie  |  Jul 13 2006 at 3:15 am

    i hope you also have blogger widgets

  • Chris  |  Jul 19 2006 at 8:10 am

    Please fix the nasty import “feature” that marks all imported bookmarks as “not shared”. I thought this was supposed to be a _social_ bookmarking site?? Seriously, how am I suppoed to manually change over 2K links?

  • ray  |  Jul 19 2006 at 8:27 pm

    Please DO NOT increase the size of the description field. It encourages one to paste an efficient quote or write a brief summary.

  • Kyle Korleski  |  Aug 2 2006 at 7:59 am

    Why add support for Internet Explorer? It’s a very bad browser.

  • sarchi  |  Aug 16 2006 at 4:34 am

    ..blogger just announced blogger beta and labels wonders now will there be an archive export twang for del.icio.us/sarchi to dance with :)

  • Chris Knight  |  Aug 16 2006 at 6:10 am

    Works nicely on my Windows XP SP2 machines.

    Installs OK on Windows Server 2003 SP1, but doesn’t display the toolbar nor is the toolbar listed in the toolbar menu. :-(

  • dan  |  Aug 24 2006 at 10:33 am

    I had troubles with this in IE7 Beta 3. When closing tabs, the browser hung or completely shut down. Normally on the 3rd of 4th tab … no plausible reason apparant. Un-installed and it’s no longer a problem. Re-installed and the problem is back again :(

  • Britta  |  Aug 24 2006 at 12:00 pm

    dan: Sorry, these toolbar buttons don’t support IE7 yet — there’s a few rather nasty bugs, as you’ve seen. You can try using the alternative posting buttons instead: http://del.icio.us/help/buttons

  • satomi  |  Aug 25 2006 at 7:00 am

    My I configure my TAG button? For example, I always want to check “do not share”, or I always tag the new bookmark with “to_be_classified”.

  • satomi  |  Aug 29 2006 at 3:55 am

    However, the “A required security token was not received with your form data.” issue has not been solved. :~

  • Cyril Alex  |  Sep 15 2006 at 11:59 am

    Hi,

    I have enjoyed del.icio.us and its great services. I have an issue with link rolls though. I use non-english tags(Unicode). The link roll I had created suddenly stopped working and I am unable create new ones.

    Any idea why?

  • locomoco  |  Sep 19 2006 at 9:46 pm

    After installing the extension for IE 7 RC1, I noticed that right-clicking on links no longer has the option to open a page in a new tab… is this a known problem?

  • britta  |  Sep 20 2006 at 2:48 am

    locomoco: The extension doesn’t support IE 7 yet, and can cause quite a few nasty bugs (including that one). You can try using the alternative posting buttons instead: http://del.icio.us/help/buttons . We’re working on a fix for the extension, though.

  • Locomoco  |  Sep 20 2006 at 12:02 pm

    I see… thanks for the info. :D

  • Jeff  |  Oct 15 2006 at 5:38 pm

    In IE7, the del.icio.us tool bar takes up way too much space and the buttons can’t be added to the command bar to decrease the use of screen real estate. How about just being able to add the del.icio.us buttons to the command toolbar in IE7?

  • Merle  |  Dec 13 2006 at 5:32 pm

    I tried unsuccessfully installing the del.icio.us buttons on IE 6 w/SP2 on an HP Pavilion dv2000 running Windows XP. The toolbar buttons aren’t showing up on the toolbar. I can see them listed under Tools>Manage Add-ons… However, they don’t show up as available toolbars under View>Toolbars. I’ve tried installing and un-unstalling several times. I’ve unlocked the toolbars. I’ve closed all IE windows and re-opened as the install instructions say. No luck. Any suggestions?

  • Buzz  |  Jan 2 2007 at 3:38 am

    Totally agree that tool bar takes up way too much space.

    I Just uninstalled it until this issue is addressed.

  • Jonas  |  Jan 5 2007 at 2:11 am

    I also agree the toolbar takes too much space in IE 7. I have an another app that works fine, it adds the button on the same line of the tabs, ‘home’, ‘feeds’, ‘print’, etc.

    It would be nice if there was tiny buttons after the ‘tools’ menu.

  • Jackie  |  Jan 10 2007 at 4:34 am

    Yes I agree IE7 is very bad and it hangs easily when you open many tabs. I am a Firefox user and I am looking for an extension that combines all the popular social bookmark sites into a single button with a scroll down? I don’t really like my FF browser to be scattered with extra buttons. Eg, if you want to select furl, you click on that button and a drop down menu will show up and you just go to select furl vice versa for other social bookmarks.

    Is there such an add-on for firefox yet? :)

  • maletin  |  Jan 10 2007 at 4:56 am

    the important thing of del.icio.us is that the bookmarks are tagged and not a hierachie.

    so i miss an easy way to add the “related tags”:

  • StephenEE  |  Feb 1 2007 at 10:54 am

    Would love to see IE7 buttons that didn’t take up a whole row by themselves. I know this is not something you guys caused, but the results are the same. Had to remove the IE7 buttons. Love the way FF2 does it. Your’s is the only toolbar add on I run. Great site.

  • xiaogwu  |  Feb 3 2007 at 4:49 pm

    Is there a way to integrate delicious with the IE7 Favorites Center? The Favorites Center is the yellow star in the far left, next to the tabs.

    If you want tag something, I would click the “plus/star” button and select “Add to delicious” or “Tag in delicious”.

    To see my bookmarks, click the “Star” button and a delicious button along with Favorities and Feeds. Or have a delicous folder under the Favorites button.

    The final option would be delicious buttons along side the Home, Page, Tools, Help, etc buttons. I would suggest having the same functionality as the Firefox buttons which provide the two pane view.
