Help when will Delicious let me export my bookmarks?

Suddenly Delicious closed and the site's been closed now ever since!
Suddenly Delicious closed and i couldn't export my bookmarks, and i relied on them. I've been waiting patiently for the site to come back online because Pinboard said it would soon after it went down. I finally emailed and DM'd on twitter like it says and no reply. Heelllp, there was a lot in there. Thanks in advance

Delicious is up at del.icio.us, its old address. Export is available in your settings once you're logged in.

Best answer: totally up here … dunno what to suggest.
If you hadn't changed your login details after the first big shakeup, ISTR reading something about how those accounts are likely gone. I know my account, unchanged since 2011, is very dead and deleted.

Well, as a last resort, if you ask @pinboard on Twitter, you're probably more likely to get a response than @delicious.

Response by poster: after your comments, i used Epic, which is great but slow, an Indian privacy-driven browser that always uses proxies, and it worked! still don't understand, but entirely happy now. Thanks!

URL works for me in Thailand. I'd try accessing it from a device from which you've never accessed delicious before. Maybe it's gagging on something in the cookies on your device.

My guess is that using Epic worked because it was a different browser with no cookies set. You probably had some state stored in your main browser that triggered a bug in the Delicious code. If that happens again you can try a different browser, or you can just use an Incognito / Private Mode window in your preferred browser.

Response by poster: Now it's working again.... in the same browser... it did this some times before... who knows? I'm going to pick a random answer as best to close it because i don't want to keep boring people, but first thank you to everyone, metafilter is amazing, i can never figure out why loads of people bother to help you:)
