public service announcement: do you know where your password is?
After months of work, the new Delicious is almost ready to come out of the oven. When we release it, you’ll be automatically logged out of your account and will have to log in again, due to some changes we’re making behind the scenes.
That means now is a good time to make sure you know your username and password. Your username is what you see in the address bar when you visit your bookmarks (http://del.icio.us/your_username, soon to become http://delicious.com/your_username). And what’s your password? If you don’t remember, you can use our password reset tool to get a reset link delivered to the email address associated with your account.
But wait, is that email address correct and valid? You can check by visiting “change email” in your account settings when you’re logged in. Be sure to keep this address up to date. If the day comes when you’re logged out, you’ve forgotten your password, and the email address associated with your account is inaccessible or mistyped, we won’t be able to help you recover the password. So check it!
While we’re on the subject, remember that nobody from Delicious will ever ask you for your password. Also, don’t give your password to third-party sites that you don’t trust.
As we move toward launch day, we’ll keep you updated. Thanks for your patience and support, everyone.

In case you want to try to recover old accounts, typing the likely-associated email address into https://secure.del.icio.us/newpw/ is the best way to go.

We are dying with anticipation.
It would be great to add a real time, auto updating SPY feature - like Digg has.
Also more archives of most popular bookmarks of all time
ddas-edEn | Jul 26 2008 at 11:46 pm
That sounds like pretty good. Congrats.
But there are things worrying me specifically about accessing the new interface on a mobile device.
If del.ici.ous is going for a total overhaul, complete with new Web2.0 technologies, I doubt if it will be usable on a mobile web browser like Opera Mini.
So I request you to also keep the current simple basic interface running and accessible even after the new web site is rolled out.
Or keep a seperate mobile version of the web site that is light-weight & less bandwidth intensive - containing basic bookmarks management functionalities.
Otherwise, it will probably be the end of del.icio.us for me.
coda | Jul 27 2008 at 12:36 am
I hope you’re introducing a “share all” option for those of us that imported our bookmarks. I imported over 1000 links and had to use a JavaScript hack to change the share option on all my bookmarks, doing it one page at a time while you temporarily banned me for a couple of hours after each page. Major pain in the ass.
Manu | Jul 27 2008 at 1:50 am
Hi, I have an ordinary del.icio.us account but also a preview.delicious.com account. As for the latter I’m unable to change my password which is different from the password of my ordinary del.icio.us account. Also the bookmarks present in the two accounts are different (the preview account is not longer updated).
So my question is: when the new delicious will be live which password will I have to use?
krysjez | Jul 27 2008 at 2:28 am
Will the old del.icio.us url still work? See my school blocks delicious.com.
Also, will Delicious 2 feature more ajax and stuff? The current one is pretty slow when you’re organizing your bookmarks.
United voices | Jul 27 2008 at 4:08 am
del.icio.us is great
can’t wait for the next version, let’s see what it has to offer to us
best of luck to del.icio.us team
Josh A. | Jul 27 2008 at 4:14 am
Thank you so much - really looking forward to the new version. I totally understand why it’s taken so long. I use delicious just about every day and I’ve got nearly 2500 bookmarks. Thanks again :).
Andy Beard | Jul 27 2008 at 4:22 am
Shouldn’t that be don’t share your passwords with anyone?
Unless major internet concerns take a hard line enforcing password security, users will continue to provide private details to sites that they trust, but which could potentially be security compromised.
As an example, I am sure many of my blog readers “trust” me, and I could create a program that in some way uses Delicious passwords, but that wouldn’t be responsible, and it wouldn’t be responsible for them to even consider giving me their password.

So you’ve decided against keeping the old domain as a redirect as stated a couple of months ago in the dev mailing list?
nda
j | Jul 27 2008 at 11:29 am
Will the new version has an expanded notes field?. As it is there’s not enough space to type a comment on a page i bookmarked.
Britta Gustafson | Jul 27 2008 at 11:49 am
Manu: The new Delicious will contain the same data as the current del.icio.us, so you will use your ordinary del.icio.us password. The Preview just had a one-time snapshot of your bookmarks and password (since it was a separate test environment) and we won’t preserve that data.
krysjez: All del.icio.us URLs will redirect to delicious.com URLs. You might want to ask your school to unblock delicious.com, since they already don’t block del.icio.us.
ChitatChan: We recently limited RSS feeds to 15 items, but you can change that by adding ?count=30 (or up to 100) to the URL.
chris: We’re being very careful to keep people’s data safe. The shift from del.icio.us to delicious.com is a usability decision — the dots are confusing for many people. Far too often, we’ve seen it spelled de.licio.us, del.icio.us.com, delicio.us, etc.
chrisfizik: We may add OpenID support in the future, but this post was a necessary alert because the change from del.icio.us to delicious.com will require a new cookie, and we don’t want users to get locked out.
Nicola D’Agostino: The del.icio.us domain will redirect.
j: Yes, we plan to increase the notes field to 1000 characters. This may not be in place right away after launch, but it’s in the works.
Sun äitis | Jul 27 2008 at 12:22 pm

Dan Grossman | Jul 27 2008 at 3:23 pm
Any chance you can confirm the new Delicious is still built on Symfony?
tom | Jul 27 2008 at 3:52 pm
The real danger, I think, and especially with the domain name change (which is ONLY useful for new users), is that the culture of del.icio.us will fall to the same standards as, say, Ask Yahoo. The perks of del.icio.us and Flickr (oh, look - another Yahoo purchase) were based off of the sweet elite collective of smart (or at least clever) users. If they become broad sites, I’ll peace out just like both del.icio.us and Flickr’s founders have.
Sai Prasad Kothapalle | Jul 27 2008 at 5:29 pm
Would love to see the new version with the same URL.
I don’t know about the new users, but we the longtime users find it easy to remember it del.icio.us. Please leave the URL untouched. Or may be there can be a redirection service as in place.
http://www.yahoomail.com currently redirects to Yahoo! Mail. May be delicious.com could also point to del.icio.us.
More than a million users are accustomed to http://del.icio.us. Please do not make them feel bad.
atomic1fire | Jul 27 2008 at 6:35 pm
If they do plan on adding yahoo account support
as I see it they should allow delicious users to keep their accounts
and just use OpenID as a second option (with yahoo’s openid access being used for yahoo support) OR integrate yahoo, keep the existing delicious accounts and add openid, maybe with clickpass or something easy for newer users (so they would be the first service on yahoo to do so)

Joe Rowe | Jul 27 2008 at 9:29 pm
I hope the old tools stay when the new tools are added. Mostly there should be a simple way to use delicious on a device without the installed plugins or buttons.
One such example:I love that I can just create a bookmark in Safari and have the address be this string below:
“javascript:location.href=’http://del.icio.us/post?v=3&url=’+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+’&title=’+encodeURIComponent(document.title.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/g,”))”
I also second the nomination from another user to have a share all buttton. When I merged 3 students into their group project account they had to manually click 100 times to make all the links shared.
Britta Gustafson | Jul 27 2008 at 10:23 pm
We have mobile in mind, and yes, tagrolls and feeds will continue to work. Symfony is still involved.
tom: Delicious has grown very much in the past few years, and I think that’s only made it better. We can bring it to an even wider audience without things getting dumbed down.
atomic1fire: When we get to the point in the future where integrating Yahoo! accounts makes sense, we’ll do it as thoughtfully and carefully as possible. Thanks for the suggestions.
Joe Rowe: You’ll still be able to use bookmarklets, and it’ll be easier to figure out how to save a bookmark without installing anything. A bulk edit feature won’t be available right away, but it’s in the works.
Michael | Jul 27 2008 at 11:02 pm
Introducing or referring someone to del.icio.us invariably requires not just spelling but writing the arbitrary, faux-syllabic division of the old domain name. Losing the extra effort and vague sense of embarrassment at indulging the impractical if ingenious site-naming fashions of the web’s bygone days is a distinct advantage to me as a longtime and still enthusiastic user.
Best to all,
M.

Bosse | Jul 28 2008 at 12:35 pm
I’m happy with both the features and the interface of the current del.icio.us, so I’ll remain sceptical to the new Delicious, but I’ll give it a chance. What II’d really like to see is a feature tha wi’ll relate my bookmarks to other users bookmarks, and present me with an ordered list of accounts with bookmarks matching me and my interests. This way, by adding them to my network, there will be more interesting links coming my way through the RSS feed.

Pangloss: Can you email us at feedback-at-del.icio.us so we can check this out in more detail? It’s weird, since these linkrolls seem to be working fine when we look at them.
Pangloss | Jul 28 2008 at 5:13 pm
Britta I’ve sent off an e-mail to feedback@del.liciou.us with some details and screen shots from my activities screen. As I said I can’t get your link rolls site itself to now produce any scripts it simply endlessly tries to load pinging your site about every second or so. I had e-mailed your support site last Friday & Saturday with details and just now received, I think, for or less a form response - not the we’ll get back in 24 hours one. I already have 2 of them. Maybe it’s my ISP though that would seem strange.
Crispin | Jul 28 2008 at 5:22 pm
Linkrolls and Tagrolls aren’t working for two of my sites. I’ve tried re-generating the scripts with no luck.

Retarius and Pangloss: Thanks for continuing to be patient with this! Is it possible you have adblocking software installed that is accidentally blocking the linkroll javascript? Can you try looking at your pages in a different browser or on a different computer?
Crispin | Jul 29 2008 at 9:30 am
Hi Britta, thanks for working on this and keeping the lines of communication open.
Unfortunately Tagroll and Linkroll are still not working on my sites. I’ve tried different browsers, computers and OS’s. :(
I tried regenerating the code again today with no luck. Even though the Linkroll now previews in Del.icio.us, it doesn’t display anything once I place the javascript in my page. Very strange…
jw | Jul 29 2008 at 10:11 am
I’m (very) sad to see the del.icio.us name go away too… can’t we just keep it next to delicious.com, no automatic redirection?
elijah | Jul 29 2008 at 10:23 am
Same JS linkroll problems here, and no response from an overburdened support dept.
The preview code on del.icio.us now works again, but I’m still getting the error “Delicious.Linkrolls is undefined” when I open my page, irrespective of browser (I used Firefox and Camino, which is based on Safari).
Could the problem be that the script is calling Delicious.com, as the base url in line three?
Delicious.Linkrolls.writeln({”user”:”USERNAME”,”usertags”:false,”version”:”1″,”count”:”7″,”BASE_URL”:”http:\/\/delicious.com”,”STATIC_URL”:”http:\/\/l.yimg.com\/hr\/10303″}, posts);

Margaret | Jul 29 2008 at 4:21 pm
Hi Britta. We’re actually using linkrolls on a number of pages, http://www.statelibrary.tas.gov.au/researchstudy/law being just one of them. However, I’ve temporarily replaced the linkrolls with a message and some links into del.icio.us, as we get fairly heavy traffic on our site and were starting to get phone calls about the missing links.
If you view the source you’ll still be able to see the code though, as it’s just commented out. If you want to jump to it just do a Find for ‘div id=”deliciousbox”. Hope that helps!
Just to clarify, I’ve tested this at work in IE6, IE7 and Firefox 2, and numerous people inside and outside of the library are having the same issue. I also tested it at home on Firefox 2 and it didn’t work there either.
Britta Gustafson | Jul 29 2008 at 4:26 pm
Thanks Margaret! We’ve narrowed down the problem to a specific javascript file that has become inaccessible from certain areas, so we’re working on fixing that.

What I Learned Today̷&hellip | Jul 30 2008 at 4:58 am
[…] We’re getting closer to launching the new Delicious, and at that time we’ll redirect the site from del.icio.us to delicious.com — so everybody will automatically get logged out. In order to log in again, you’ll need to know your username and password, so please check to make sure you do. We have more details in our blog post here: http://blog.delicious.com/blog/2008/07/do-you-know-where-your-password-is.html […]

[…] and that redesign is about ready to debut. One thing to note: they’re asking that everyone make note of their login info, as when they update with the new design, everyone will be logged out and will have to log back in. […]

Where can one find a list of the proposed enhancements for the new version.
I would like to know if I can save more than small 255 or so characters in the notes field. It keeps on cutting off my paragraph or abstract of the site on the current version. Will we be able to save 1,000+ characters or more in the notes field?
Will we be able to save PDF documents using the browser buttons? I know we can now by manually entering the URL, but that is slow and cumbersome….
Thanks, Joe

if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it….
Britta Gustafson | Jul 30 2008 at 10:30 am
Margaret and everybody else reporting linkroll problems: This should be fixed now. Hooray! Let us know if it’s not.
Joe Kraus: The new Delicious will expand the character limit to 1000 characters. Which browser and buttons are you using? You should be able to tag PDFs normally already.

“Also, don’t give your password to third-party sites that you don’t trust.”
Do you give any user data to third-party sites, or other Yahoo sites?

Please, don’t change it so much. It’s perfect now :)
Por favor, no lo cambiéis mucho. Es perfecto ahora :)
polihronov | Jul 30 2008 at 11:33 am
The number of items per page must be changed to 300-500. It is very uncomfortable to me to change pages i want to see all my items on single page please.
Lewis | Jul 30 2008 at 11:56 am
Will the old domain remain active? And how will things pan out for the developer?
Britta Gustafson | Jul 30 2008 at 12:17 pm
polihronov: The 100-items-per-page limit helps keep the system running smoothly.
Lewis: All the del.icio.us URLs will still work — they’ll just redirect to their delicious.com equivalents. Everything should work as usual for developers.
tylluan | Jul 30 2008 at 12:36 pm
Aw. As i5m said, “Gutted about the url change. del.icio.us is ace. Delicious.com: Boring.”
Del.icio.us was clever! and fun!
sigh, oh well…
Matt S. | Jul 30 2008 at 12:57 pm
Can’t wait to see what comes out of the oven. This is a great tool…hope it gets better! Thanks everyone!
Anji | Jul 30 2008 at 1:48 pm
All this sounds good. At the moment I’m wondering where one should go to suggest a feature?
Britta Gustafson | Jul 30 2008 at 1:57 pm
We think “del.icio.us” is neat too — it’s been our name since the beginning! — but if you’d seen as many confused users as we have, you’d consider changing it too. It’s been misspelled in many published books and on live television.
Anji: You can always email feedback-at-del.icio.us.
Tobu | Jul 30 2008 at 2:17 pm
It has been a long time coming, but still; the redirects should have been from delicious.com to del.icio.us, not the other way round. It is a good kind of complaint to have, because I can’t come up with really important annoyances.
Pangloss | Jul 30 2008 at 2:35 pm
Hey Britta thank everyone, you included, for getting link rolls up again. Guess you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone - to paraphrase Joni. Thanks millions.
Nicola | Jul 30 2008 at 3:05 pm
I want Caramel to go as they are too chewy, tasteless and hard (im scared my fillings will fall out! lol.) and definitely keep coffee as i can’t get coffee in roses/quality street anymore and if you get rid of them then i won’t be able to buy them. At least sell them in a separate bag if you have to stop selling them in revels bags. The other flavours are fine.
Many Thanks
Nic
Margaret | Jul 30 2008 at 5:08 pm
Our linkrolls are working again now - thanks!
Random Much? | Jul 30 2008 at 5:08 pm
LOL WaT?!
Margaret | Jul 30 2008 at 5:23 pm
Just had a thought - once del.icio.us becomes delicious.com, will the URL inside the linkroll script still work (http://del.icio.us/feeds/js/), at least for a while?
Thanks!
Britta Gustafson | Jul 30 2008 at 5:50 pm
Margaret: Yes, they’ll work. We don’t plan to break existing linkrolls at any time in the future.
Tzury Bar Yochay | Jul 30 2008 at 5:54 pm
I am here to drop a good word despite all the bad wording came out lately regarding the latency of the release. (especially from TechCrunch direction). delicious is the most useful web2.0 application I am using. it is simply delicious!
Jose | Jul 30 2008 at 7:06 pm
Hope there are no compatibility problems with older OSes.
Ted | Jul 30 2008 at 9:39 pm
That’s great news! Can’t wait for the new launch.
Maria | Jul 30 2008 at 10:04 pm
I’ve been dreading a redesign of del.icio.us for a long time. I just hope that it’s intuitive and doesn’t shut out (like Jose says) older OSes and slower internet connections. I have had to abandon so many websites because of fancy new ‘designs’. Del.icio.us, I couldn’t possibly live without you! *crossing fingers that nothing will change too much*
Ravi | Jul 30 2008 at 11:24 pm
Expecting Delicious.com to be more delicious for resources sharing.
v_red | Jul 30 2008 at 11:34 pm
please don’t make it full of useless stuff
eddie | Jul 30 2008 at 11:43 pm
真是好消息
that is a good news
oh_no_oh_my | Jul 31 2008 at 12:38 am
Oh no! Not the great www address!
Del.icio.us is so Great&original!
Lanooz | Jul 31 2008 at 1:10 am
And I’m asking: why delicious.com while del.icio.us was your trademark and was so cool?
V3rTiG0 | Jul 31 2008 at 1:59 am
Hopefully old address will still be functional. It’s very cool
Dirk Geurs | Jul 31 2008 at 2:24 am
Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke. Delicious works perfectly well the way it is. I hope you give us an option for classic mode.
Mikebingo | Jul 31 2008 at 2:35 am
I am currenlty experiencing issues with loging in. I am not sure if it’s just me or my comp or maybe the changes on the way..
Sudeep | Jul 31 2008 at 4:39 am
Great news! Can’t wait for a refreshing change!
Mad | Jul 31 2008 at 4:45 am
Oh, really, it’s users problems if they can’t spell del.icio.us! Google always available and ready to provide a correct link. It’s also not so hard to bookmarking for these who banned from search engines.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty amazing how you seems to keep yourself busy, but it nonsense, honestly…
:(
Dan Thornton | Jul 31 2008 at 6:07 am
Please don’t integrate with Yahoo logins. I’ve already lost access to two services due to the fact it stems from a very old Yahoo account, and the customer support is irritating at best.
It’s become enough for me to consider moving all my images from Flickr (If I can ever log in again), give up on MyBlogLog, and I’d hate to have to leave del.icio.us as well.
And it’s a sad day when it switches to delicious.com, but what price individuality…
Fabrizietto | Jul 31 2008 at 6:31 am
Waiting for new version!

https://api.del.icio.us/ has been broken for three days now… throws “XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: https://api.del.icio.us/
Line Number 2, Column 1:” error. Please fix.
Kan | Jul 31 2008 at 8:01 am
Welcome!!! Sooooner…
Britta Gustafson | Jul 31 2008 at 8:29 am
skwirl: That’s a known bug — it doesn’t interfere with the actual functioning of the API, just looks a little funny. We’ll fix it soon.
rahul | Jul 31 2008 at 9:00 am
will the links be accessible that we have saved
Britta Gustafson | Jul 31 2008 at 9:03 am
rahul: Yes, all data will be the same.
Cody | Jul 31 2008 at 9:35 am
I can no longer post via Javascript using the api (https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/add)
I get the following error message:
<?xml version=”1.0″ standalone=”yes”?>
<result code=”access denied” />

Britta Gustafson | Jul 31 2008 at 9:36 am
Cody: We also saw a slightly different report at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-delicious/message/2096 and we’re looking into all this.
skwirl | Jul 31 2008 at 10:00 am
Britta: it is BROKEN, it does NOT load. Firefox, IE all fail. Someone updated the code, and it is now busted. Google the error; this is more than cosmetic.
Britta Gustafson | Jul 31 2008 at 10:02 am
skwirl: I’m sorry, I might be a bit confused — why are you loading https://api.del.icio.us/ directly? Does the error break an application that you’re using? If you make a real query, it’ll work correctly.
skwirl | Jul 31 2008 at 10:09 am
Britta: this is from the del.icio.us blog directly:
http://blog.delicious.com/blog/2006/05/feel_secure.html
That API has worked flawlessly for over 2 years. Now it does not. Please help resolve the problem; see http://johnvey.com/features/deliciousdirector/ and look at step 2, this is what I need it for. Thanks!
Britta Gustafson | Jul 31 2008 at 10:15 am
skwirl: Oh OK, we didn’t realize that the error would break del.icio.us direc.tor. Thanks for reporting this! We can fix it soon.
