logged in user cannot get listing of their own posts tagged for:another-account

[Mike Malloch]

Hi everyone

I've just encountered what might be a policy change, or might be a new bug.

It used to be (at minimum until aug 06) that an authenticated user could get a list of their own posts tagged for:another-user

for example: http://del.icio.us/shc/for:egcrf_denmark (when authenticated as user 'shc')

This was possible through the web and also through the API (api POSTS or RECENT could be restricted by tag= {a for:accountname
tag})

This no longer seems to work - an empty list is returned, at least since yesterday.

Any ideas? If this is a policy change, I think it's an unfortunate one. It's very handy for users to be able to see that
listing from their own network tagging (and the via-API listing is also important to us for good reasons I could explain if
anyone's interested).

By the way, this does not seem to be due to the ':' character (for instance see http://del.icio.us/egcrf_denmark/from:shc or
http://del.icio.us/mc_dip/from:richie_dockery )

all the best

Mike

This seems to be working fine for me. I see 16 public items in your
account that are marked for:egcrf_denmark, and I'm able to see items
I have for-ed to other people in my account as well. Possibly a
connection glitch?

I don't think you are seeing his items marked for:egcrf_denmark. You are
being redirected to all his public items, as you should be? You _are_able to
see your items marked for:someone.

Whoops, wasn't thinking right. Of course it redirects those.

So the functionality is working, but not for shc. Will have to dig
into that. Certainly, nothing changed there in the last couple of days.

Hi Toby & List

It is working fine now... weird - must have been a passing gremlin (though it was not a connection problem, and it persisted
for at least 20 hours and affected 2 accounts I know of - and I *was* careful about diagnosing it :o)

I'll watch for any repeats and let you know if it happens again.

all the best

Mike
