Del.icio.us goes down with a bad case of the 999
Sunday, August 19, 2007


So there I was minding my own business, organising and cleaning out the tags in my del.icio.us account when suddenly the service went down with an "error 999" page. That was 2 hours ago and it still isn't back. To my mind, this is the first time that del.icio.us has crashed like this. Or am I wrong?

First Skype and now del.icio.us? What the hell is going on with the internet this week?

    Hi,
    I found this post through a google search for del.icio.us error 999 as I'm having the same problem now. I was just wondering if it ever got resolved, and if so, how long it took?
    Thanks

    It was never really "resolved". I got in touch with someone at del.icio.us and she told me that error 999 normally means that the user is making so many fast changes to their account that the system thinks you are a robot /automated computer system. So it shuts you out for a while.

    All you can do is slow down with whatever it is you're doing. What were you doing that caused a 999 page to come up?
