The "Bad" News...
Now before any of you start getting ideas in your head, no, I'm not ceasing development of the plugin. I'm simply moving it to another domain. I've grown pretty tired of competing with PORN when it comes to this site's domain name. Although the idea behind it was well intended, the execution and overall outcome could have used a bit more forethought.
Another key factor in the idea to move SexyBookmarks was the fact that maintaining constant updates is getting harder and harder to remember to do because of the amount of time and effort being put into my upcoming project. I originally had (what I thought were) some pretty big plans for this site, but as things have progressed, it's become pretty clear there's no real "structure" here in terms of updates and overall usability.
The Good News!
The good news is that the site SexyBookmarks will be moving to is more geared towards web development in general, so the issue of competing with porn sites will be a thing of the past. This means that more of you will actually be able to FIND the site that holds all of the usage and installation information, and not wind up on some hoochie mama filth site.
Another great thing about the move is the fact that SexyBookmarks will be located on my upcoming project, and as such, updating the site with new bug reports, feature requests, replying to comments, etc. will all be much easier to remember to do since it's all there on the big project I'm working on anyway. There are also plans to release several more plugins as well, and none of them will be named "SexyBookmarks", so posting them here would be a bit of a stupid thing to do...
Oh, and did I mention that my partner in this upcoming project is going to start working on designing custom icons for the plugin? Yea... That's right, you heard me. You guys are gonna be getting the ability to pick and choose the style of your menu. (soon!)
I'll try to make the move as "seamless" as possible so that I've already got everything uploaded and transferred to the new site before I deactivate this one, but as with anything, it's never a guarantee so please be patient. Oh, and I suppose I should mention that the deadline for the move is set for the launch date of my new project. (Feb 1st)
So, if you haven't done so already... Go check out the future home of SexyBookmarks! (you can even sign up for a email alert when we launch!)

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the interesting bookmark plugin.
We tried to use it, but it appears to conflict with the mobile pack we are currently using in our website http://www.UNpost.org
The conflict happens when the user is switched to the mobile mode.
Any suggestions to make it work with the mobile pack?
Cheers,
Editor

What kind of conflict? Does it just not display, or is there an error of some kind?
I’ve included an option in the plugin to disable on mobile browsers because the plugin normally looks a bit ugly on mobile, so maybe you’ve got this option checked if it’s not displaying?
If not, you may want to check this option…
Please let me know. I’m about to leave for the day, so if you wouldn’t mind, could you email me the details of the issue by using the Bug Report Form and I’ll get to it when I get home.
Thanks!

Good to hear about the new project. I also hope to find very NEW interesting ideas and tips.
When I first read the bad news, I felt like you’ll be moving to a new domain-name for the sake of new plug-ins and tools or even different plans that you might develop in the future and then you made me laugh when I finished reading because you gonna make it lol.
One more thing, what about giving the choice for the Admin to upload his own custom icons?
Well done guys and I’m pretty sure that you gonna make every dream real, soon ;)

Hi Josh,
I’m trying to send you an email with the romanian translation for the SB plugin but the postfix program from dreamhost returns my mails with “unknown user”. Is there another way to send you the files?

Yes, my mail server is being stupid… I did get your email though… I have no idea why my mail server keeps returning daemon messages to everyone who emails me even though I get the messages.

Great! Good to hear that.
