Just want a direct public link to an annotated page - 192 views

TTW GUI Diigolet inconsistency suggestion
  • david-p
     
    Hi forum,

    Diigo sure is great for my own web research. However sometimes (actually much more often than anything else), I'd just like to highlight and annotate a web page, and post a direct link to that annotated page in a discussion forum.

    Since Citebite doesn't allow sticky notes, and Awesome Highlighter doesn't work properly on most pages, I'd prefer to do that in Diigo.

    Any reason why Diigo doesn't offer this simple functionality?

    Thanks very much, you're absolutely right.

    Just found out that this way, you're not taken to the point on the page where the annotations actually start!

    This way, people will not realize that, and where, the page is annotated! This really and urgently should be changed in Diigo.

    Both Awurl and Citebite have this feature!

    Thanks for a reply,

    Cheers David.P

    Yes, It shows an overlay of the page -- but does not jump straight to the comments. Readers first have to identify the overlay, then look for and find the spot ("View Comments") to click on, and only then are they taken to the highlights...!

    This is way too complicated and I'm sure that not more than 15% of my readers will be bothered to go through all this and actually find my comments. The other 85% will be annoyed and simply close the page without ever reading my comments on it.

    Pls. therefore urgently change the standard behaviour such that readers are taken STRAIGHT to the first comment on the page -- such that I don't have to use a nested chain of Diigo and Citebite to do this, like I had to here:

Feature Request: Only react on mouse hover > xx ms - 9 views

    Hi forum,

    every time I move the mouse across a page and where the mouse path happens to cross a Diigo item, that item gets opened.

    This is annoying since it's almost impossible to do anything on a site with many annotations without Diigo items popping up all over the place.

    Is there a setting somewhere to prevent this? Otherwise it is my strong suggestion to introduce such setting.

    Thanks,
    David.P

Diigo drop down menu goes away - can't choose menu entries - 9 views

  • david-p
     
    Hi forum,

    whether I use the automatic drop down menu that appears after highlighting text, or whether I right click somewhere on a web page, it's always the same: as soon as I click on any entry in the Diigo menu, the Diigo menu goes away (I can't chose anything from its submenus since the submenus don't even open on hovering with the mouse, and since clicking makes the entire Diigo menu go away).

    All other entries in the right click context menu are fully working.

    Any idea what could cause this?

    Thanks,
    David.P

    Ahh, found the cause.

    The "ui.submenuDelay" entry in Firefox was set to a very long time, and obviously the Diigo menu is coded differently from Firefox standards since the Diigo submenus can't be opened by *clicking* but only by *hovering and waiting* the amount of time that is set in "ui.submenuDelay". Maybe this can be corrected in a future release.

    Anyway, by setting "ui.submenuDelay" to some hundred milliseconds, the issue is kind of resolved, intermittently.
