related tags not showing ( same as xanadu1979 bug oct 16 )

Hi Everyone

Two days ago I noticed that related tags were not showing for the
del.icio.us account of a project we work on.

The bug seems exactly like the one reported by xanadu1979 on Oct 16, which
seemed to clear up quickly.  I had hoped this would just pass, but it's
been a couple days...

account name is NGRF

for an example of a display which ought to have related tags, please see

http://del.icio.us/NGRF/gender ... this ought to have loads of related
tags but there are none at all (as if all the collected items had only
singleton tags)

This is especially embarassing  to us because we have worked hard to get
the non-techie project participants actively tagging, and have integrated
their collections into the project site with some new JSON-powered
interfaces we've written which vividly leverage related tags (and thus
look very empty without them :o)

(By the way, feel free to re-use those JSON-powered interfaces; we have
scheduled a couple days to get them into shape for GPL'd release within a
few weeks... just a couple small glitches, a bit of needed documentation,
plus we want to support bundles where possible)

Below are some json-based examples which show the problem particularly
clearly: compare these two pairs of links ( the '-europe' links are for a
sister-project which, for the 'gender' tag uses exactly the same related
tags ( we co-ordinate the accounts through a script )

http://www.guidance-research.org/EG/equal-opps/gender ... no related tags
http://www.guidance-europe.org/country/UK/gen ... plenty of related tags

or click any of the tags in the main clouds at

http://www.guidance-research.org/about-ngrf/bookmarks ...... no related
tags
http://www.guidance-europe.org/about-site/bookmarks   ... plenty of
related tags ... again, this account is mostly a subset of the tagging in
the NGRF account

Any idea what could be causing this?   Could it be weirdly related to the
capital letters in the account name?  Using the lowercase variant in urls
makes no difference.

Many thanks for the great service, by the way!

all the best,

Mike
