highlight note sticky

    I just started using diigo and highlighted and left stickies a total of 15 times on this page. I restart my comp and browser and they are gone. I made sure to highlight and sticky the permalink page. What am I doing wrong?

    I could reproduce your problem. However, the problem seems to be that the highlightings + stickies and the floating stickies are just not displayed on the webpage even though they are still there in some way. When I go to "My Bookmarks" ("My Diigo"), I can see they have been saved. Just click on "Expand" and you will see them. At least, that is what it is like here on my computer.

    True here too. I was just disappointed not to have it all in the page instead of as individual pieces to expand and collapse. I guess i should go try a different type of website and see if it works better for me. I just didn't know if this would happen all the time and i did it all wrong. Thanks for looking at it.

    Tanya, your disappointment was justified because this is not the way it is supposed to be. Normally, you should see the highlights and stickies directly on the webpage where you put them.

    Yesterday, I added some highlights and sticky notes to the webpage you gave above and a couple of other webpages. I was not able to not see the highlights and the sticky notes on the webpage. I did that using (Portable) Firefox 1.5, so I thougth this problem may be related to the Firefox version or it may be a conflict of extensions. So, I tried a brand-new "installation" of (Portable) Firefox 2.0 today and it worked, that is I could see all highlights and sticky notes directly on the webpage. Then, I went back to (Portable) Firefox 1.5 and it worked as well. The problem was gone. I suppose it was only a temporary problem.

    Do you still have the problem?

    Oh wow!! I hadn't gone back up to the top since I checked it before as I am only about halfway done with the 300 or so debate comments. :P But I just rechecked and you are right. They are back!! That is totally awesome and now I can see this is just a terrific tool for me. Thank you so much for keeping on top of my question.... since I didn't even think to check it again myself.

    I am not sure if this is related. I forwarded myself an annotated web page and after logging out of Diigo and going to the forwarded link I could see neither highlights nor annotations. Pity I was hoping to sell a couple of colleagues on Diigo. Just glad I sent the link to myself first and not directly to them. Would have embarrassed this lovely social annotation site. The link, BTW, is

    http://www.diigo.com/cgi-bin/1.py?cmd=3020&_ff=loyola&_fk=5d38658b3ecdefe40e3239693e81523c&s_id=883e4f6920bf833fdc1c11a64d7863df&url=http://www.ascilite.org.au/ajet/ajet22/phelps.html

    and I tried in Firefox and IE 7.
    Have managed to see it before though through that URL and I do see it when I am logged in.

    Hi loyola,

    When you're forwading someone an annotated page, your highlights and sticky notes will become the content of the email. So your friends will see what you have annotated. Also the url is included in the mail too. Once they click the url, they will see the webpage with a diigolet on it. However, as a non-user, they can't see your highlight and sticky notes directly on the webpage. Once they registered, it will show up to them.

    does this help you?
  • Hilary Reynolds
     
    Oh. Ok thanks. I was under the impression that with the forwarded link they would see what I saw.

    nickywang,

    I checked up in help and this is why I had the idea that they would see what I saw. The help page (http://www.diigo.com/help/forward/2) says "Clicking on the link takes the recipients to an annotated page identical to what you see. (So your private sticky notes and highlights will be seen by the recipients)"

    limerence ,

    We notice a new bug - should have been fixed now - please verify. Thanks

    ---------

    Loyola,

    Nicky has misunderstood and provided the wrong answer. You're correct - anyone (even non-Diigo users) should be able to see your annotations on the forward link.

    I just checked and your forward link seems ok. Can you please check again? Thanks

    (hey, good stuff you're sharing there - no wonder you're a Diigo fan :-) For anyone doing good amount of online information consuming - they should find Diigo quite useful... That's why we create Diigo in the first place - develop useful features that we'd love to have as users ourselves. cheers!)

    Loyola,

    I'd like to appologize for my misunderstanding and all the troubles it may has brought to you. Hope you won't mind.


    Maggie,

    Thanks for correcting. Next time I'll check more carefully. This won't happen again.
  • Hilary Reynolds
     
    nickywang,

    No problem at all. I appreciate the fact that you were trying to help.

    Maggie,

    Checked on both IE7 and Firefox and it seems to be ok now. Our bandwidth is pathetic so perhaps I was just being too impatient. With regards to your comments about what I am sharing, this really is what Diigo is all about. It enables to me a) Write research notes to myself and not have to worry about a hard drive crash, and b) share this info and get feedback.

    I think you might in the next while gain several devotees from our Uni.
