I am *so* in love with my extra tabs, though. If they just added stuff (like the three features) without breaking ten, I'd be just fine. If they had a timeline for replacing the stuff they say they're working on, that'd be totally responsible.

I sent off my bug report/complaint. I'm totally on that train now. I looked around for alternatives before, and I didn't like any of them, and I still don't. I want a fixed Delicious.

This post has a roundup of reactions to the Delicious changes

Wow. I know the FAQ is evidence of bad product launch planning, but did no one read it?

If they fix the slash thing and the display limiter, I think I'll be OK.

No one reads the FAQ, just like no one reads the help documentation. It's an eternal frustration of mine.

I can only hope some of them are at least sending in bug reports and level-headed complaints.

I despised every moment of the gawker redesign (let me not call it an upgrade again), and Nick Denton is a pompous airtime-grabbing ass, but it was made clear that the team was made up of a lot of people, they didn't walk in lockstep, and they did actually respond to bug reports, and stuff (SLOWLY) got fixed. I did this because I didn't see a viable alternative for IO9.

I feel the same way about Delicious. If I had woken up and they'd just added what I can see new, I'd have been *delighted*. And I told them that, in conjunction with the shit that's not on their list that should be working and doesn't seem to.

I can't really complain level-headedly, because it seems like the way I use the site is not how I will be able to use the site in the future. The thing I don't see addressed in the FAQ is the use of recent and popular for tags. How I currently use delicious is that I chose a fanfic pairing (say John/Sherlock) and click on recent or popular. Then I choose what to read. Now if I search for John/sherlock, I get my links, I get a list of other links (no idea what order they are in, but when I click recent or popular, I get the most recent or popular links for the whole site.

I've never used delicious that way. I use it strictly for organizing the stuff I like and don't want to forget where it is. I could use it for more, but I've just never bothered. I suppose I should read the FAQ, but, honestly, it never would have occurred to me to read an FAQ to get answers to changes being made to the site. I would have expected a mass e-mailing to go out and say "here's what were doing, be prepared." FAQs are for new users, in my mind, not people who've been around the block with the old site for some time.

I use it just like Sophia, with the exception of a long-neglected page where I mostly save recipes. I have half a dozen "Recent ___ tags" bookmarked on my phone and they are 99% of my Delicious use.

I actually have the "recent" pages bookmarked on my phone, too. It is what I do while I commute.

Me too. Recent is how I find stuff.
