oh my god
Is it me, or is delicious basically useless now? I am honestly not trying to be an asshole; I work in software development and I know how hard they've been working, but... holy shit.
Anyway, I thought it might be useful (for... someone?) to have a place to collect bugs and issues that are relevant to fannish interests. Maybe I just want to complain out loud.
WHERE ARE MY TAGS. They have gotten rid of tag bundles, apparently. You can still pull that info from the API, so I am hoping this feature will return, but the fact that you cannot see your tag bundles or even all your tags means that it is impossible to navigate someone's account. What tags do they put on the front page? How can I browse your account for stories I might like without just going through all your bookmarks, page by page?
Searching is now fuzzy. I can't tell from the fannish account, but I learned from the real person account that if you click on a "decay" tag, it will also return bookmarks tagged "urban.decay." I'm not sure what the regex is on this, or what they are searching for, but I am wondering if it has something to do with the fact that none of my fannish tags return the relevant bookmarks. [benton.fraser], for example, does not get me anything that actually carries that tag.
The slash is broken. You all know this by now, I'm sure, but clicking on a tag with a slash in returns a 404. The slash is a recognized character in the search box, and so I'm hoping this is a quick just-escape-the-fucking-character-already fix.
I just... god, I don't even know how to finish this post. There are some other bugs, but I don't care. My normal-person account is mostly fine, but the fannish account is really, really not. My biggest problem is that I now cannot find anything. I use del to find new stories to read, and now that is impossible. I can't see my own tags, let alone anyone else's. Even if I could see them, clicking on them would not return stories with that tag (or possibly any stories at all). My network is gone. My bundles are gone. Someone hold me. Or at least commiserate with me in the comments.
I emailed them last night about a lot of these issues and bugs, at feedback@avos.com, and have yet to hear back. There is no longer a support forum, so you guys might also want to email them if you come up with stuff, or just want to add to the general clamor. Or... I don't know, are we moving to pinboard? Augh augh augh. /o\
ETA: kronos999 has written a much more detailed post about the issues, complete with links and research. You know, in case you want to get REALLY EXTRA SUPER MAD. oh god. it just keeps getting worse, you guys.
