Don't Panic!
Some bookmarked URLs may have unexpected or dangerous effects when visited, so they automatically get assigned a dangerous icon, are kept private ("not shared"), and pop-up a warning when you try to visit them.
Any URL that does not start with one of the following is assumed to be dangerous:
- color:
- feed://
- ftp://
- http://
- https://
- irc://
- mms://
- news://
If you are sure this bookmark is safe and from a trusted source, there are three ways you can still use it:
-
Add the link to your browser's bookmarks.
On your bookmarks, right-click (or control-click) the link and choose "Bookmark This Link" or "Add to Favorites"
-
Visit the link manually.
On your bookmarks, right-click (or control-click) the link and choose "Copy Link Location" or "Copy Shortcut". Then, paste the URL into your address bar.
-
Edit this URL.
Delete "http://delicious.com/doc/dangerous?" from the current contents of the address bar for this page. Your URL is what appears after the question mark.
Note: If you got here from a bookmark you saved before September 2006, its URL was automatically changed to redirect to this page. It may not be a private bookmark. If you'd like to access this url, you can use the second way above, or re-save the bookmark and use either way.
If you have a good reason why we should allow sharing of an additional scheme, or any questions, please contact us.
