When I try to add a bookmark for a url that links directly to a pdf, such as this one:

http://www.rufuspollock.org/economics/papers/optimal_copyright_term.pdf

I am told that Diigo cannot handle such links. What up with that?!

I have >4000 bookmarks and 130 tags (actually many more, but there are still kinks in the import-from-Simpy process), and I get the "coming soon" message.

This is another vote for a feature request: some way to search for users with tags or bookmarks in common with me (also perhaps with my watchlist, or with a group I've joined).

I think this is almost an essential feature if the collaborative/social aspect of Diigo is to be fully realized.

Partial solution: on the "my tags" page, you can sort your own tags by community usage; clicking on one will then take you to a page of users who employ the same tag.

Of course, you still have to go through one-by-one to see who really has interests in common with you.

I have the same issue as era e; all of my imported Simpy tags have that weird cruft and do not function as tags even though they show up in that field. I have been watching another forum thread about tag issues:

http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/selecting-any-tags-shows-error-no-bookmarks-tagged-tag-name-44519

and hoping that whatever was generally wrong with tags would also turn out to be the problem with my imported Simpy tags. Unfortunately that does not seem to have been the case, although it's not at all clear whether that other issue is in fact resolved.

Tags I add myself seem to work OK, but I cannot even get my imported tags to show up in a way that would enable me to edit out the cruft by hand.

Help, please!

Loss of improvement! :-(

1. crufty tags can still be edited item-by-item but this is still not an option

2. searching for part of a tag no longer finds anything at all. Does wildcard searching work? If so, how?

3. clicking on a crufty tag now seems to work like clicking on a regular tag, brings up all the items carrying that particular crufty tag; since I cannot be arsed to memorize the cruft format this really isn't much use

4. but crufty tags still don't show up in "My Tags", so I still cannot edit them

I've switched full-time from Simpy to Diigo and, apart from the continuing problem with my imported tags, have been very pleased with performance and usability.

There is also a set which cannot be deleted, with somewhat similar features. Anyway, all things counted, I'm now stuck with only a handful of crufty tags.

Thanks for that -- I think I am in a similar situation. Also, some of the edits or deletes that don't appear to stick may in fact stick, they just take a while to show up. E.g. I just de-crufted my tag "almaswan" and now I appear to have both the uncrufted and crufty versions -- I'll update here if and when the crufty one disappears.

Now I have >600 tags to edit by hand, but at least I can do it. Sort of.

Not a big deal, but equally I would think easy to implement: it would be nice if I did not have to rummage around in the forum to find updates on known issues -- indeed to find out whether the Diigo team is aware of a particular issue.

A blog/status page with known issues and their status would be very helpful.
