Viewing/Sharing Public Annotations

annotations | post by plugusin on 2008-07-09

Hey all,

I'm a new Diigo user and I'm struggling! I've left a few public annotations on a news article:

http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-usa-education-technology.html?_r=2&oref=slogin

And asked other members of a team that I'm a part of to join me in the conversation.

The challenge is that no one can see my annotations---and I can't see theirs! Heck, sometimes when I go back to this article through Diigo, I can't even see my own annotations.

I've been reading through the strands here for info about annotations, I've checked out the tutorials on help and I've Googled for answers, but I can't seem to find a simple solution.

Any ideas about what might be going wrong? How can I add public annotations that others can see when they visit the same shared article? And how can I see the public annotations that other people have left on the same article?

Is there a setting that I need to tweak? A particular link that I need to send/share?

Thanks for your advice,

Bill

Hi,
I checked your bookmark and the URL in your bookmark is http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-usa-education-technology.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin . I can view your public comments by clicking the Comment button on the toolbar. However, the URL you post in the forum is http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-usa-education-technology.html?_r=2&oref=slogin. They are different URLs, so you can't see your comments on the page.

Why does the blue bar where we annotate a book mark FLOAT all over the bookmar page?

Thu, 15 May 2008 15:06:20 -0000

Is there a way to LOCK the bookmark descriptions placed into the blue bar over the bookmarks. It's aggravating to have to readjust the entries when they are added to groups, list or otherwise.

Save Elsewhere & Annotation Link

annotations |save-elsewhere | post by seanbrady on 2008-04-17

Is it possible to not include the annotation link when using the save elsewhere feature? They are often quite large, and they don't look quite right in the other systems. Curious if I can disable the inclusion of those links.

Annotations disappearing?

annotations |browsers |diigo |errors | post by ebarney on 2008-04-15

Has anyone else had their annotations disappear in Firefox? I've been looking at some links with a coworker and she first had them disappear entirely when she was viewing her bookmarks from her diigo page, then had them appear in IE but not in Firefox...

We'd like to do a "profile" on how great diigo can be for the faculty & students at our school, but we don't want to risk giving them inconsistent information if something behaves differently depending on the browser (or browser version) they're using.

She's got the latest version of the toolbar installed on both browsers and both of the browsers are up to date... ????

I have been putting together some notes on the Firefox toolbar. I did have a problem in Firefox, where anything I would highlight or sticky note would not "stick" with Firefox. It worked fine in IE on the same machine. The whole page comments were working fine. I was able to resolve the issue by deleting my Firefox profile and reinstalling the toolbar. Kind of drastic, but I could not get it fixed any other way.

I will also add though that the Add Inline Comment feature of a highlight does not work for me in Firefox. It only gives me the option to create a sticky note, and those cannot be made public. I can see other users inline notes ,but cannot add one of my own.

Hope that helps.

I'll forward this on, but I hope these issues can be resolved soon with more consistency!

Hi Barney,
1) Could you see annotations in “My bookmark" page with FF?
2) If you can see them in "My bookmark", but they didn't show up in the original page. Could you check Diigo toolbar ===>Highlight drop down Menu ===> whether "Dont' show highlight" option are checked.

Thanks

hide other people's annotations

annotations |hide | post by pristine on 2008-04-01

Is there a way to hide other people's annotations? Today I got on my homepage, google.com.au, and saw all these annotations/highlights from others. I really don't want "collaborative research" on websites I visit. Makes me feel like my computer is being invaded. Is there any way of getting rid of this? It's killing me and I'm very very very very tempted to uninstall Diigo now. Thanks!

Oh, yeah I use Diigo 3.1.4 and Firefox 2.0.0.13

You can go to toolbar ===> Highlight button drop down menu ==> Don't show highlight.
post by joel on 2008-04-01
Thanks, but how do I only show MY annotations and not other people's?

Bug: Annotations in Bookmarks Shared to a Group

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 14:59:54 -0000

annotations |bugs |groups |sharing | post by suzannah on 2008-04-04

hey, here is a quick fix i KNOW you want to know about:

When you are in "My Bookmarks", looking at your lovely list, if you pick the option "Share to group" from the pull down menu, only the LINK is shared but not the annotations.

You have to go to the webpage itself, re-bookmark, and pick the "Share to Group" option from the pulldown as offered to you from the Bookmark option of the Toolbar.

Simulation Environment Details:

FF Toolbar

Firefox Browser

Sharing to a private group

Any thoughts?

hi, suzannah:
i have just shared a bookmark with annotation info to a private group from my bookmarks with the "Share to group" pull down menu , and both bookmark link and annotation are shared to the private group. will you try some other bookmarks?
post by vincent on 2008-04-04
oooooooookkkkkkkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I guess I was just a brain fart on my part. I have no idea why it wasnt working before and it is now. I did it three times too. Sorry Vincent!!!!! You guys have enough to deal with. Sorry for your time, I swear I recreate the situation three times before I post here. :)

*goes back to her corner*

:-) It's ok... It's better to be "safe" than "sorry" - thanks for keeping us informed of issues that you notice.

Diigo is all about the people who are in the community, and the value of the platform that it can deliver to its community users. As you can tell, V3 is a very, very complex system with lots of moving parts.... especially we are constantly updating and improving. Which means sometimes unexpected bugs will arise. So love to have more "eyes" out there to assist us making sure all is working well.
