I think the new placement of the "your bookmarks | inbox | for | post"
links are confusing. With the title of the current page above them, they
look like they are related to the page, rather than global functions.

I have to agree with the original poster even though I wasn't personally
confused.
This type of seemingly innocuous nesting error puts the visual hierarchy
in
conflict with the logical hierarchy which is almost always confusing
(until
learned) for people not familiar with the system.
The fact that it could be fixed at next to no cost (i.e. time) certainly
makes it worth considering.
A more intense rework of the layout aside, I'd probably suggest having
them
hang out with the "settings" and "logout" links along with some copy
tweaks...
"hello username || bookmarks | inbox | for | post | settings || log
out"
Then I'd also consider putting a line break after the site name followed
by
the page name (i.e. stuff that usually follows the first slash).

It's perfectly understandable if you know what
del.icio.us<http://del.icio.us>offers. None of these links are new as
far as I can tell and they aren't
confusing unless you don't pay attention.. Paying attention is the cheapest
thing you have to pay in life...
Whoa.
To recap, the original poster made a comment about what is objectively a
nesting error with the layout. I agreed and suggested a simple (read: fast
and free) solution.
Later, another poster raised a second concern pertaining to mouse movement /
tracking with the current placement of these links (which could be
objectively analyzed from a GOMS standpoint).
Happy coincidence, the solution referenced above solves this problem too.
I realize you're a complete stranger, but frankly I don't think the
delicious-ier than thou attitude and lack of constructive feedback in your
post is the best way to grow the service (or protect the investments of
those financing the development).
