I finally received word on what you can do to recover your bookmarks: send an email to support and they will send you back a database dump of all the bookmarks that you saved under private.bookmarks.

I'll look at an easier solution than this, I have the master xml dump of the bookmarks, I can probably do something with these.

Still no news on the [[Yahoo]]/[[del.icio.us]] conundrum.

If you've seen the source code, you might see that I don't actually store any of the private bookmarks you have saved, otherwise it might be easier to recover the missing bookmarks.

In implementing priv.at this was a deliberate decision to help protect the privacy of bookmarkers, however now it seems to be somewhat of a mistake relying on a third party webservice to store the data.

If all comes to naught with del.icio.us, I will begin work on using the del.icio.us API to reconstruct the private bookmarks and migrate to a new account, I will keep you updated through this wiki page.

As you might have noticed, priv.at is working ok and has been for a little while now, Joshua lifted the ban on our IP and we've just bookmarked our 7,457th private bookmark.

Stay classy
