Merging Two Accounts

• Nate

  Hey Ken
  
  Merging shouldn't be a problem.
  
  Try the following:
  
  First, make sure you are using the 2.0 version of the Firefox extension as it will make this easier:

  In the example below, I'll refer to the two accounts as Account A and Account B. And we'll say that Account B is the account you want to merge A into.
  
  
  In Firefox:
  --------------
  1. Open your reading list
  2. Click the options icon
  3. In the options window, select the account tab
  4. Click Logout
  6. Click Login
  7. Login to Account A
  8. Open your reading list
  9. Right click the sync icon and select 'Full sync'
  10. Repeat steps 1-9 above but login to Account B instead.
  
  
  On the iPhone:
  ------------
  1. Open the app
  2. Open the options
  3. Click 'logout'
  4. Login to Account B
  
  
  Both the app and the Firefox extension should have the same list now and the contents of account's A and B should be in Account B.

  Thanks! Now I have combined my two lists and don't need to deal with Xmarks just to see the items I saved on another computer. Now I can really start relying on ReadItLater!    Private comment hidden

  I can't find the sync button. I'm using Postponer for Google Chrome, and I wish to merge that account
