I'd appreciate if you could help me on this.. I formatted my hdd and tried to sync my bookmarks back from previous state (previous instalation), but I accidently lost my sync key so I made another. I believed that I could acces my original sync account with another key, but it seems that it's not working like I expected. I have original sync key now, and I wonder if you could help me to retrieve my data. Please.

Thanks, Mat

Sorry, that data is gone. When you get a new SyncKey your data is automatically cleared from the sync server. The data is worthless without the correct SyncKey, which is used for encryption & decryption of your data as it is uploaded and downloaded to & from the sync server.
