What the ... Diigo misfires - 34 views

  This was odd. I just went to my bookmark file, and in it, found a link to a page of mine at Geocities that I had recently moved elsewhere, Geocities being about to close.
  
  I never bookmarked that page. I deleted the bookmark on sight, but am wondering what is going on. I was logged into Diigo as I cut and pasted that page to a new file. Could that be a problem? At a few points during the process, I saw Internet Explorer crash a few times, mentioning the Diigo toolbar as being the reason for the crash. This isn't happening often enough to be a serious problem, but I mention it, because maybe this will tell you something useful, this being the only other unusual thing I've seen the system do lately?
  
  
  
  
  Lesson from the experience: If you see many of a user's own pages on his bookmark page, you shouldn't just assume that he's trying to spam Diigo. He might not even know that they're in his list of bookmarks. I only had this happen to me once - I think, I'll check those bookmarks in a bit - but if the system can hiccup once, there's no reason why some unlucky use couldn't see it do so repeatedly.
  
  Is there?

  Please let us know:
  
  * the version of Windows
  * the version of Internet Explorer
  * the version of Diigo toolbar.

  IE 7

  I have no idea. I joined Diigo on Feb. 9 of this year. I believe that I installed the toolbar the next day, in Internet Explorer. I could be mistaken on that point, but not by much; I was using that toolbar actively within a few days of joining, so probably whichever version of the toolbar people were uploading in early february.
  
  I ran a search on "Diigo" "toolbar" and "version" on Google, and "toolbar" and "version" on Diigo itself, pulling up nothing of value. How does one tell which version one is using?
