That is unfortunate, though one of the great things about the wiki is that any Ma.gnolia member can make edits (which is how spam links get in there in the first place), so if someone spots a spam link before we do, that person can also take action.

We just performed a database upgrade, and global tag searches are significantly improved.

If you had a nice cut and paste code with icon like del.icio.us and Diigo both have for adding a bookmarking link to websites, I'd put it on mine. I can't find anything like that, though, and just posted a question about it.

If you want more share links out there pointed to Ma.gnolia, make it easier!

I do hope that when you get this search engine replacement in, it'll restore some of the Simpy magic I lost when I made the jump to Ma.gnolia. :-) – Pikadude No. 1, on July 15, 2008 05:41

Todd,

I get what you're saying, and completely agree. We need to get out of the business of asking for third-party passwords, ESPECIALLY the ones that are tied to email.

We're operating under high load right now, engineering-wise. Can you recommend any libraries, widgets, or online services that would help us make this change (to OAuth or something similar) more easily?

A comment on the question "Asking for 3rd party passwords" in SlideShare:

Amit, I think you're missing the point. By telling your users that it's perfectly acceptable for them to divulge the passwords for their email accounts on a third-party website like Slideshare, you are effectively teaching them how to be phished. I'd be interested in hearing how your internal discussions are going, particularly in light of the fact that all three providers that you are slurping from (GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo Mail) offer secure authorization now. See Flickr's example of how to do this the *right* way: http://www.flickr.com/import/people/ – adactio, on July 08, 2008 13:13

A comment on the question "How do I find my blog's API Endpoint?" in Ma.gnolia:

Textpattern's XML-RPC support is designed to match up more closely with the Movable Type API. The XML-RPC has also been quite substantially improved recently, and will be a fully fledged component in TXP 4.0.7 -- but it's not quite right to say that it's not a more modern blog API :-) A Textpattern "section" is equivalent to a "blog" in the Movable Type sense. – Rocketpilot, on July 04, 2008 06:31

A comment on the problem "Wiki traps" in Ma.gnolia:

Okay, but you still need to provide some indication of that in the wiki, or simply delete the reported pages. – Pikadude No. 1, on June 29, 2008 00:53

Todd Sieling replied on June 28, 2008 19:45 to the problem "Wiki traps" in Ma.gnolia:

On talking it over, we've decided to make the wiki just for developer support and questions, so any non-developer related questions can be posted here. Thanks for asking about this.

Sorry gang, the OR operator isn't available yet.

Is the OR search operator available yet???

What does DreamBank do with my personal information?

I'm often concerned about privacy on the web, especially where money is involved. Can you give some info on how DreamBank handles personal info?

Todd Sieling replied on June 09, 2008 14:14 to the question "how do I delete a bookmark?" in Ma.gnolia:

You'll need to make sure you're signed in first.

If you're looking at a bookmark in a list, click the Details menu and you'll find a remove command there.

If you're looking at a single bookmark on its detail page, click the Trashcan icon to remove the bookmark.

Todd Sieling replied on June 03, 2008 02:22 to the discussion "We need more "share" links" in Ma.gnolia:

You're right - we could provide some built-in help to that end. We'll round up the technical info for saving a current page to ma.gnolia, and post the link to that info here.

thanks todd - great answer - i've met a couple of them recently and was just curious.

Todd Sieling replied on June 02, 2008 16:34 to the question "Featured Linkers" in Ma.gnolia:

We accept nominations from other members, but also keep our eye open for people who seem to be doing interesting things that aren't already represented by other featured linkers.

Chris Pallé replied on May 31, 2008 13:09 to the idea "Make it Easier to Give Thanks" in Ma.gnolia:

Greg, true to an extent, but I don't know about "groups as... categorization." Groups add to the community and require work by the moderators. So, they're *more* than categories. For instance, good groups have attentive moderators who communicate with the members and weed out unrelated bookmarks. So, they should be Thanked as well. My guess is they would rather the Thanks be given to their community as a whole, though.
As for individuals, members can get a glance at how each other interact; that is, are they just dumping bookmarks (like the mistake I made once) or really adding value. Right now, my guess is that we don't see more thanks because it is so difficult to do so. To your point, Greg, I almost always add a bookmark to a group for categorization, but my *primary* intent is to share and add value to the group.
