    Hey Maggie,

    Here's a problem I've been trying to solve, I'm hoping there's a obvious solution which I have totally failed to notice.

    When I started using Diigo (pre-Groups) I created 2 accounts -- one personal account, and one shared account that could be used by either myself or my collaborator on the project we working on. At that point, if I wanted to add bookmarks and annotations to the shared account, I would log out of my personal account and into the shared one, etc.

    Then groups came along, which did exactly what we had been trying to do with the shared account. So I created a group for our project, added myself, my collaborator and the shared account as members of the group, and then shared all of the shared account's bookmarks to the group. Obviously when I did this, the group inherited all of the tags that had been previously created under the shared account.

    So (at last) my question: there are a bunch of tags which exist in my Group but do not exist in my personal account (because they were created when I was logged in under my shared account in the pre-Groups days.) This means that when I'm adding a bookmark and sharing it to my Group, the older tags don't auto-fill in -- leading me to guess at what the tag might be, and then getting duplicate tags based on plural/non-plural, synonyms, etc. Is there any way to either: 1) import my tags.bookmarks from my Group to my personal account, or 2) import my tags/bookmarks from my old "shared" account to my current personal account?

    Sorry for being so verbose. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

    Best,
    David
