I LOVE the cache function.
However, it would be even better if the cache included the
highlight/note.
Also, a couple of pages didn't cache: is there ever a delay? will they
be cached eventually? If not, is there a way pages can be 're-cached'?
Thanks,
John

Which advantage would that have? I just tested whether comments and
notes are already included in full-text searches and they actually are.
So, that can't be the advantage.

Here are two relevant threads:
Thread "Full Text Search doesn't work":
http://forum.diigo.com/topic/350#1216
Core message: There may a delay sometimes but it should be short. In
most cases, the pages will be cached immediately (this is my
experience).
Thread "Can I update cached pages?":
http://forum.diigo.com/topic/194#630
Core message: If a page has already been cached, it cannot be re-cached.
The first version of a cached page will always stay the cached version.

The point of the cache is to preserve pages that might otherwise be
removed from the web.
If a page is removed from the web, the cached version and the notes are
separate entities. One cannot see them together as is normally the case.
Also, when I'm on a computer that doesn't have diigo installed, I again
want to be able to access the cached version with the notes overlaid.
Otherwise, again they are two separate entities.
So, what happens when a page isn't cached after several hours?

OK, now I can see your points.

Normally, caching shouldn't take that long. But I do not know the answer
to your question because I am just a Diigo user myself. Unless you have
put a lot of work into the page by higlighting sections and adding
comments/notes, you could try to delete that page from your personal
bookmark collection and add it again. Maybe that helps.
John,
Thanks for your input. Will consider offering that option. Meanwhile, try clicking on the "about" link for each bookmark - you will see lots of related stuff all nicely presented there.
Caching normally shouldn't take too long, but once in a while our servers get quite busy and some delay may occur. Also, once in a while, certain few pages have somewhat strange behaviors and are not being properly cached - we're looking into that as we're further optimizing our search capability now.

Just to reiterate (and since this isn't the case yet...) annotations really *should* go with the cached page. Otherwise... what's the point of the cache? Is diigo a *cache*ing service??? or is diigo an annotation service?? neither here... nor there???
