If you link to del.icio.us/post?url=URL&title=TITLE, it will redirect you to the posting form.

The posting form has the username in it to avoid XSS abuseability.

Like some other people in here, I prefer subscribing to people's

inbox feature.

When using the RSS feeds like that, it would be useful if they could
somehow include a link that, presuming you are logged in to
del.icio.us, would be equivalent to clicking "copy" for that link in
del.icio.us.


We do already have the "copy" button if we recognize the user- agent of
the RSS reader (we don't want to mess it up for people using RSS for
publishing on their blog or whatever.)

The "if you are logged in" part doesn't really work in basically any
RSS reader, though.


Yeah, it would have to link to the post page for that URL. Since that
URL as it is includes the user name, that wouldn't work so well.

You would have to make

http://del.icio.us/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcomicbookdb.com%2F&title=Comic% 20Book%20DB&copyuser=noike&copytags=comics&jump=no

redirect to

http://del.icio.us/bkhl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcomicbookdb.com% 2F&title=Comic%20Book%20DB&copyuser=noike&copytags=comics&jump=no

(where bkhl is the name of the user you're currently logged in as) or
something like that.

Though I always thought it's a bit messy that people's own user names
are in the URLs like that in the first place.


I'm also missing the extended descriptions in the feeds - but I'm not
the first one to mention that, IIRC.


What feeds don't have extended? they should.


Sorry, forget that part. It appears it was my RSS reader that was at
fault.
