The reason why this improvement has been introduced is that it's very common that users try to login with their email address instead of their username, which failed until now.

Improvement: Users can login with their email address, too
Since the email address is a unique identifier, just like the username, from now you can login with your registered email address, too. Simply type your email address in the Username field during the login if you don't remember your username.

Improvement: New Error Handling Framework
February was about developing and introducing a new error handling framework in Bookmark Ninja. This improvement is about how the application behaves when an unexpected error occurs e.g.: you try to import a bookmark file that is not in the correct format or there is a hiccup in the connection.
As part of the new error handling framework users now get more detailed messages and in most cases they can even solve the problem with a simple page reload. The logging of the unexpected errors have been also improved which helps in fixing the possible bugs and making new improvements in the future.

New Feature: Find Dead Links
With this tool you can easily clean up your bookmarks by finding and deleting dead links. A web link is considered to be "dead" if it returns error 404 (page not found) or the link contains a non-existing domain.
To run the cleanup tool please follow the steps below:
To run the cleanup tool please follow the steps below:
- (1) Open the "My Bookmarks" page
- (2) Make sure that "All" is selected (both Catalog and Dashboard bookmarks are listed)

- (4) Enter a unique tag that will be added to the bookmarks that have dead links (by default the tag is "dead-link")
- (5) Click on the "Find Dead Links" button to start the process
The process of finding dead links may take from some minutes to a few days depending on how many bookmarks you have.
After you started the process you can close the browser window and can even turn off your computer. Or you can continue using Bookmark Ninja.
You will get an email notification when "Find Dead Links" is complete. The email will contain a brief summary report: number of bookmarks checked, number of dead links found and a link to the bookmarks marked with the "dead-link" tag on the "My Bookmarks" page.
To avoid unnecessary server load you can run this tool once in every 30 days.
Make sure to also use the Find Duplicates tool in order to clean up your bookmarks.

New Feature: Sharing Tabs
From now you can make any of your tabs public and share them with your friends and coworkers. You can even make web directories from your favorite links.

By default all the Tabs you add are private. To share a Tab follow the steps below:
