That article needs to come with a huge "YMMV" disclaimer.

I can still save my bookmarks via the bookmarklet. I can still view my bookmarks at http://delicious.com/sciurus. The transition hasn't impacted me at all.

Do you see all tags you saved there? Did you browsed by tag after the transition? For example your programming tag collection have small set of links. I am sure there was hundreds of them before the transition. I haven't faced password reset problem though. I exported my bookmarks after hearing about transition. Lucky me :).

Nothing has jumped out as missing. I may just be lucky in this regard. Being of the sysadmin persuasion, I have many more bookmarks tagged "software" than I do "programming".

currently, i use the bookmarklet, and it eats the tags. there is a brief "you should use commas, convert?" that doesn't actually let me click before it disappears.

Can you use a browser plugin with it (like I have been doing for many years now)? Because I can't.

Yeah, but you have to clear your browser and reload. The instructions are here: http://deliciousengineering.blogspot.com/ under "Firefox Extension Fixed." They claim that the IE extension is fixed as well, but there seem to be no special instructions.

Did you migrate your Delicious account to AVOS previous to the move?

I opted in a while before the move. I didn't do anything else.

So you've seen the mess they've made of the basic bookmarklet?

It's absolutely a complete joke. Do you want to separate your tags by comma??? WTF???

The Chrome extension's view hasn't changed, from what I can tell.
