  This is reposted from another thread for the sake of better visibility:
  
  The "private" setting of imported Furl bookmarks does not seem to be preserved.
  
  While Diigo sets "lists" as private, the bookmarks themselves are public.
  
  Now, there doesn't seem to be a way to make a larger number of bookmarks private, based e.g. on whether they occur in a list, or whether they have a particular tag. I'd really need this facility now, however - the world really doesn't need to know about my large collection of foot-fetish related sites :-)
  
  So if there's any way to set larger numbers of bookmarks private, please let me know.

  > any way to set larger numbers of bookmarks private
  
  Use the tick boxes and menus at your My Bookmarks.
  
  The other aspects, I'll return to…

  I wonder whether that aspect of your import was bugged.
  
  To be honest, I'm not familiar with the import routine. I made the transition from Furl to Diigo in 2006, I recall no problems with privacy settings at that time, I guess the routine was very different then.

  Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.
  
  I have no idea whether this is a bug or I just did something wrong (no idea what that could have been, though). It would be interesting to know whether others have the same problem.
