New toolbars updated for everyone - 44 views

  Just did a system-wide toolbar upgrade for everyone.
  
  Previously, a sticky note has to be tied to a highlight. Now you can also add a "floating" sticky note that doesn't have to be associated with any highlight! Hey, you can also move it around and positioned it anywhere you wish on a webpage!
  
  Simply click new "Sticky Note" icon on the new toolbar, or in the right-click menu. For existing Diigo users, that "Sticky note" icon is actually an optional feature to avoid some potential confusion with our old system. To enable it, please go to your toolbar >> Options >> Toolbar & Menu Tab >> Add or delete toolbar buttons.
  
  Of course, you can continue to do in-situ highlight and sticky note as usual. Now, best of both worlds available to you :-)
  
  As always, please let us know what you think and kindly report any issues you notice. Thanks!

  I like a lot the new sticky note :)
  
  3 notes:
  - I tested in this page. The "action" menu i suppose should say "delete sticky" instead of "delete highlight"? So there is no related highligted text.
  - Why can't i choose public? Maybe beacuse i'm logged in the forum?... but the webpage is public. I think this happens to the common highlighted text too.
  - I suppose you are still working in the visual design of this sticky, just in case: two letters inside that bubble don't say anything about what's inside it. Would be better and cleaner just empty or an adapted shape with the first 3 or 4 words.

  Dear Maggie,
  
  thank you for improving the Diigo-Service.
  
  Unfortunately the hyperlink-feature in the rich text annotation box of a "sticky note" doesn't seem to work (, as experienced some minutes ago) .
  Clicking on the Link-icon doesn't produce the popup to fill in the target link URL.
  
  Fridemar
  PS.:
  I tried to use hyperlinking in public mode for connecting different Diigo forum pages. But it didn't work.

  The new type of sticky notes can be independent of any highlights. So, I agree with you, the action menu should say "Delete sticky note" in this case. I guess this wording is due to the fact that this new type of sticky notes was developed based on the other type of sticky notes that do require highlights.

  In order to create public sticky notes, you need at least two friends in the Diigo community. This requirement was introduced to minimize abuse of sticky notes for graffiti and spam.

  Very true indeed. I agree.
  
  >Would be better and cleaner just empty or an adapted shape with the first 3 or 4 words.
  
  One thing that should considered here is that the bubbles of sticky notes independent of highlights always show. So, even though these bubbles can be moved around easily, they shouldn't be too big because otherwise they might clutter up the webpage, which makes reading it more difficult (of course, only if there are many of them).
  But a bit more than two letters should still be OK I think.

  Hi Fridemar,
  
  Nice to see another Diigo user from Germany here. I remember you already posting some very good feedback in the older Diigo forum.
  
  Regarding this bug: A confirmation from my side. The hyperlink feature (inside sticky notes) did work up to Diigo toolbar v1.0.2007040900, but does not work with v1.0.2007040901.
