Interesting. What is your opinion of this behavior, if I may ask, Graham? I think it would work more clearly if, when I chose to share it to a group, a new box for entering tags popped up. I have tried to illustrate this idea in a screenshot:

There would also, then, be a "duplicate tags" button, that way if I wanted the same tags on each copy, I could just click that button.

As it is -- unless I'm mistaken -- it seems a) unintuitive that I would have to manually change the tags for each copy of the bookmark and b) tedious to have to do so outside the "Add a Bookmark to Diigo" dialog.

I hadn't thought about over-populating dialogues. I'm glad I asked your opinion, as that's a very good point.

So, this is the "solution" I've found. If you know of something different/better, please enlighten me.

If I have a bookmark I want to share with a group, I have to hit bookmark in my toolbar, add the tags, *do not select a group* and hit save. Then, hit bookmark again, choose the group to share it to, and hit save again (assuming I want to keep all the bookmarks.) Does that seem right?

Thanks.

I think I used the wrong terminology. I apologize for the confusion.

What I was calling a "sticky note" I should have called something different, though I'm not sure what. I select text, then go to "highlight and comment." A "sticky note" pops up and most times (again when I tried right after you replied) it is unusable. There are three icons on the sticky note: an "X", a trash can, and a speech bubble. Clicking on these icons does nothing. There is no box to type in (just like in my screenshot) and it won't close.

As I said in my edit, sometimes it works. After quitting Firefox and trying again, it worked. But then I loaded the next page I wanted to annotate, it did the same thing as before where I can't do anything with the sticky note and the note won't go away.

I tried following step-by-step the directions you linked to me. When I hover (not right-click) over a highlighted section, my choices are different from those in the how-to: http://img.skitch.com/20090517-fqa2g5n87r66yw8tay2fq6rwui.jpg I assume these differences are just from different versions of the toolbar. When I click "add sticky note" the majority of the time, I get the unusable sticky note: http://img.skitch.com/20090517-taut2yd8f3hrr9ryeadbp3qitk.jpg Of course, when I tried it on the how-to page, it worked: http://img.skitch.com/20090517-g6fqdkam4hadgmig9m226712n4.jpg Going back to the page I wanted to highlight and following the same steps gave me the same unusable sticky note.

Is there anything I can do (such as a log file or something) to give you more information? I'm sorry that you can't reproduce it, but it happens to me much more often than not.

Thanks for your assistance.
