A simple question: how to add public sticky notes?

Thanks very much

1. Go to a webpage which is not a front page
2. Click the comment drop down menu, choose "Add a float sticky note to this page"

Missing Floating/Sticky Notes icon

I don't know from when it started exactly (about month ago?) Sticky Icons gone. I have only plain number floating somewhere on page.
I checked Sticky note place with Firebug. Icon is in CSS style (and Firebug can display it) - but it is not displayed on page. Maybe some kind of security?

Image file (background:transparent url('chrome://diigotb/skin/float_icon.png') no-repeat 50% 50%;) is not displayed as blockable/blocked item in Adblock.

Firefox RC1 (3 PC's with same behavior), current Diigo toolbar.

After today's Toolbar update are icons back. Thanks! :-)

I have noticed that sticky notes can not be edited once they are created, but in Diigo v2 it was possible. Maybe a bug ?

As edit sticky notes is rarely used, we remove this feature in V3 in order to make the toolbar lighter.

Hi Joel,

I literally signed up for Diigo just for this feature. Can it be readded ? Can I install V2 instead ?

Thanks,

I agree. I'd at least like the ability to delete sticky notes from within the page, so you could copy the contents of the note, delete the original note, then paste the contents into a new note and edit from there.

It would be great if this could be added again in some future release, perhaps as an optional feature?

Thanks,
Anton.

If edit is really necessary for now, copy, delete, then repost.
post by maggie_diigo on 2008-04-11
Thanks Maggie - that works fine to be honest.

Yes. we constantly have to juggle features vs. performance. In our opinion, unless a feature really impacts majority of users, performance consideration should have substantially higher priority.

Of course, we also constantly challenging ourselves to push the technical limit and to think outside of the box. Diigo is continuing to evolve quickly. We will do our parts to make Diigo the very best in its class - if you're a diigo fan - we need your help - pls do your part to help us spread the words! Thanks!

I was hoping to use these stickies as a development tool thus copy and paste is a little impractical for my needs.

I do of course appreciate your work on this. Some other nice features for the stickies would be an option to have them display opened on the page. Also a resizable sticky would be nice!

Thanks!

note formatting - must line breaks and everything be "squashed" together for me?

format |formatting |line breaks |notes | post by jeffreyjflim on 2007-05-26

hi, I would like to be able to just type in my notes as is - ie, with proper paragraph separation (hey, these are my notes after all!) for easy visualization and reading, but i hate the way diigo will try to "squash" everything together for me, even after i have taken all that effort to be able to format my notes nicely. Is there a plan right now to preserve the text EXACTLY as i type it in?
post by jeffreyjflim on 2007-05-26
The text should be saved exactly as you type in the sticky notes. I made two public sticky notes right on your post - please mouse over and check them out.

Meanwhile, I do notice that the formatting in the expanded view in "My Bookmarks" section for the "non-rich-formatted" note is not quite reserved. Will pass on to our engineer's attention.
post by maggie_diigo on 2007-05-26
ok, thanks, i see it now. Although really, u only see the formatting when u go and edit ur comment... If u merely mouseover the highlight, what u see is the squashed text! Are u seeing something different when u mouseover? I'm using Firefox 1.5 here.
post by jeffreyjflim on 2007-05-26
Please upgrade to the latest FF browser version. Perhaps that's what affects your viewing.

To view the public annotation, make sure your viewing mode is set to "View All" - you can verify by going to the toolbar >> Diigo >.View Annotations
post by maggie_diigo on 2007-05-26
thanks, Maggie. I've figured out how to see the annotations already. I'm trying out FF 2.0 at the moment, and I must say that it's worse than for FF 1.5! I can't edit the notes that I have made already, for eg. with FF 2.0... With FF 1.5, that's ok.

Also regarding my original point about squashing: it seems that this squashing is only done for non-rich-formatted notes... For rich-formatted notes, both the text as shown in the bookmarks, and in the mouseover are not squashed...
post by jeffreyjflim on 2007-05-26
My first example (on your #1 post) is shown without rich format text editing. Line spacing there seems to be preserved just fine.

My Bookmarks area - will get that fixed.

sorry to be difficult (and thanks for ur patience!), but really, i dunno why, but it definitely doesnt work here on my FF 1.5...

And i'm not going to get to FF 2.0 - i'll lose the ability to edit my notes! oh well. Thanks, anyway. At least i can sort of work around that by using rich formatting for now...
