Minor Updates to OH - Thanks for your feedback
The main purpose for these new changes was to make it easier for everyone to quickly get to the most important places, like Forums, Photos, Groups, My Journey, MYOH, and your Settings. On top of that, we made the whole navigation flow and feel a lot faster (which I hope you've noticed!).
We realized that Meebo was really not being used much, so it's not worth having those popup ads on your page from something that's rarely or never used. Also, it would constantly keep connecting with the Meebo servers multiple times a minute (that's just the way these chat clients work), slowing down the site in the process. All that overhead for something that's not really used? So off it went!
The other aspect regarding the bookmarks, in addition to what was said in the main post, is that it was built a LONG time ago using some REALLY old code, and it was simply not going to work with the new smoother navigation. But as mentioned, we're working on a way for you to at download your old bookmarks, so stay tuned for updates on that.

Your post (and the main post) state that there will be a way for people to download their old bookmarks - however you do not say whether or not there will be a return or update of the bookmarking system itself. While people do want their old bookmarks back - I believe that a great number of people are asking for a return of the FEATURE. Apparently it was much more used than OH realized, as there has been nothing but multiple questions and complaints about the removal of the bookmarking feature since it was deleted.
Please return or update the bookmarking feature. For some of us it was a very important tool and allowed us to track our progress, those of our friends, informative threads, and recipes. This is only a few of the uses that some of us have for the feature. I am sure that there is much more.

instead of:
2. The "Bookmark" section is the least utilized area in the current header navigation. To make site navigation more relevant and useful to members, we have removed the Bookmarking system.
instead of saying that it was least used? Not cool.
Bring back the bookmarks!

I'm really disappointed that Meebo is gone......
It was a really great way of keeping track of how people were doing on their WL.
Sometimes I would have 3-4 IM's going on at the same time.
Please consider reinstalling Meebo
Thanks, frisco
