I'll then go to the group, and try to add a bookmark there. I enter the data, click on the button to save, and the screen freezes and looks faintly washed out, but again, nothing is saved. The same thing happens in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. At this point, I have to seriously consider the possibility of cutting all links to Diigo just to avoid being given some serious grief by a Webring administrator. I would rather not have to do that, but there is a limit to how much patience I can give, under the circumstances. Once an admin decides to start bothering a user, getting that admin to go away without doing any lasting damage to the user's account is difficult, and every moment this problem remains unresolved is another moment in which trouble might commence, so if you're going to tell me that this might take a week or two, that really would be a problem.
By the way, I was interested to learn that I'm not allowed to add any sticky notes, because I'm not an "active and trusted" poster. Given that you have 1,711 bookmarks from me, of which only a tiny handful (less than 10) are navigational links, inserted so that Webring stays off my back, and not one of which has anything to do with me or anybody associated with me selling anything, I was wondering just how much activity you were hoping for out of me, and how I might earn this trust that you've given to those I see spamming the profile edit page, at this moment.
While I know that my adding of a few links to these art pages I obsess on won't do anything to help you get a car loan, incline anybody to pay you for your pages on facebook or get you a discount on Xanax - dare we dream that will come next - still, I'd like to think there's some virtue to the act of sharing such bookmarks on a social bookmarking site, however meager.
Might I hope that Diigo will someday agree?
and apparently the answer is "no". No answer from the staff to that question, and no answer to a number of others, which usually is what seems to happen when bug reporting is outsourced to another site by a company - neglect soon follows. It's a bad sign, something that suggests that the company would rather not have its own record of replying to such reports be seen in searches under the company's domain name.
I had intended to be at least a little patient, but I'm not going to ask Webring to wait six months to see a path back to the ring established, and I wouldn't, even if I thought they'd be open to such a thing. When you folks are back to being serious about running a social network, give me a ring. Until then, those links are pulled. They have to be. You've left me with no other choice.
