New server!
Voo2do has been moved to a faster, more powerful server. I initially thought the transition was smooth but quickly discovered and fixed a couple of problems (details below). Everything should be running correctly now, so if you notice any possible problems, please email me at shimon@rura.org or call me at +1 857.928.3028.
Thank you all for making Voo2do a popular enough service to merit this upgrade, and special thanks to those who helped me find problems right after the move!
Update: Mikalai Beliashou reported that non-English characters in task names had been replaced with unreadable symbols. Unfortunately this indicated a problem in the backup/restore process that was used to move data from the old server to the new one, so I’ve had to re-do this move. Therefore, data changes — including edits, new tasks, and new user accounts — made between roughly 7:30 and 8:30pm EST have been undone.
I’m very sorry to have wiped out this data but it didn’t seem feasible to correct only the messed-up data. This meant I’d either have to restore again from the old server, wiping out an hour of usage, or leave many international users with useless task titles. Losing the hour seemed like the lesser of two evils. Apologies for the data loss.
Update 2: Email submission of tasks to voo2do was temporarily broken too; if you received a bounce notice, please try re-sending your task.

Speed really improved - thank you! Being a german user I have to say that what we call Umlaute (ä, ü, ö) are not displayed correctly.. would be great to be able to use my native language again.

I’m still having trouble with accented characters. Otherwise it’s great.

I’m certainly not happy about the data loss, and am working to fix it. I know this is important data, and I will restore it as soon as possible. Please know that I am one person, doing my best to maintain this service in my spare time, and I am unfortunately not able to completely avoid mistakes and problems. I think these issues are still fixable, and if you can let me know exactly what problems you’re experiencing I will do my best to help.

I just want to say thanks for providing this useful service. I was using my Google mail account to keep my to-do list before I discovered voo2doo.

Hi Shimon,
Is there anyway that I can backup my project data? It would be nice if I could download my data in a file.

myron: you can backup your data by clicking “your account” and then “backup/restore your data”.

Very thanks for data restoring i gonna back. But:( Opera 9, last build, i can`t create new task. I see it doesn`t supplied, and Opera had error in that case, but i hope…

willgame: I’d like to support Opera, but I haven’t had a chance to test it yet. Unfortunately since it is not nearly as popular as the Firefox or IE browsers I cannot promise support for Opera soon.

Hi Shimon,
Now that I have developed a dependency on voo2do, may I make a suggestion?
It would be nice that I could do a quick keyword based search through my task lists. I am using Firefox, but the ‘Find’ function does not work with the task list.

Thanks Shimon thanks for sharing this cool tool for free
