Update: Yahoo! has talked to me about the issue and showed me how to deal with Yahoo! IDs. The next version of DeliciousSafari will have support for Yahoo! IDs. Stay tuned.
Good news
You can now access delicious.com with a Yahoo! ID.
Bad news
Yahoo! IDs don’t work with the delicious.com API. That means DeliciousSafari, Bookmarks Pro, and any other application or website built using the delicious.com API will not work if you try to login with your Yahoo! ID. If you have an old school delicious.com account then you’re fine. This only affects new users who have to sign up using a Yahoo! ID.
I’ve contacted Yahoo! about the problem. Hopefully it will be fixed ASAP.
I contacted Delicious and this is what they had to say…
“Hello Steff,
Thank you for writing to Delicious.
I understand that you are encountering issues with a third-party
Delicious add-on due to the Yahoo! registration process. I would like to
apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Unfortunately we cannot provide you with an “old skool” Delicious
account. You should be able to get this issue resolved by contacting the
company or website whose product you are trying to use. They need to
update their API and authentication process.
I hope this information helps. Please feel free to write back to us if
you have questions or comments about any of our Yahoo! services.
Thank you again for writing to Delicious.
Regards,
Apollo
Delicious Customer Support
Delicious E2Y”

any updates on the yahoo-id problem?
Any news on when the fix might be released? A few days, a couple weeks, still a month off?
@gregor & @Greg
I’m working on it now but unfortunately I haven’t been able to dedicate the time required to solve it as soon as I wanted. I’d like to have it done before the end of the year, but that could slip.
Thanks dougs
i wait for the new release
Thanks! Good to know you’re on the case!
This also affects users who have/had an old style account and who opted to link their yahoo and delicious accounts.
I assume this migrates their old style delicious to new style yahoo login in under the hood.
In any case Delicious Safari doesn’t work…
…Looking forward to the new version!
@Jon Correct, it also affects old accounts that opted to link their yahoo accounts.
Happy New Year Doug!
Hope we can use your great app soon!
Ping! Any updates on when we should expect the new release? Is it still a ways off, or is it close?
@Ben Still a ways off.
Any updates Doug?
