Okay, so if you're like me, you're gonna feel a lot better when you have a backup of your bookmarks exported from delicious. Unfortunately, if you're like me, the export function isn't working ( Read more... )

You got linked on the Del support forum as a layman-term solution, by one of the employees. Thank you so much for this!!
I'm trying to stick it out in the time-honored "wait and see" philosophy, but I'm going a bit crazy with bookmarks piling up.

1) thank you for spelling this out simply. I just really want my bookmarks back.
2) I feel like an idiot but is this Mac OS X compatable? Because you said the start menu and I don't have one…

Yeah, sorry. I'm not familiar with Mac OS. This hack is for Windows.

lazaria91 October 11 2011, 15:44:24 UTC

You dont happen to know where I can look elsewhere, do you?

I'm afraid not, no. I switched to Pinboard after making this entry and haven't been keeping up with the delicious stuff. Sorry.

Hello,

This is Mike Manning from Delicious. I wanted to let you know that we've linked to this post from AVOS.com (http://www.avos.com/how-to-get-old-bookmarks-from-yahoo/) so anyone who didn't opt in to the migration can see how to access their old bookmarks before Yahoo! deletes the data on October 21st.

Thanks gabrielleabelle for publishing such detailed instructions.

No prob. I grabbed the hack from somebody over on Facebook. Happy to help pass it along. :)

Thank you! hogie98105 October 12 2011, 16:47:27 UTC

Worked like a charm! Thanks so much.

But tell me about Pinboard.

Re: Thank you! gabrielleabelle October 12 2011, 20:11:18 UTC

You're welcome!

Pinboard is a nifty alternative to delicious. There's a one-time sign-up fee of $10, but it seems to be worth it. No tag bundles, but the owner says he will be adding something along those lines soon. :)
