I can't reproduce the issue now but a few minutes ago at
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark I found that the
Expand All / Collapse All
toggle was not effective on one of the bookmarks. AFAIR: one that I had been expanding/collapsing, and it may have been after I added a group sticky note to one of the highlights.
@ Diigo developers: no need to follow up on this one. Probably exceptional. -
Seeing http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/6758 (October) reminded me of this topic http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/8775 (November).
This observation is purely for the record. AFAIR the issue has not recurred since 27th November. -
This bug is rare, minor/negligible but still present (albeit not always reproducible).

1. a few minutes ago at http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/bookmark I deleted a bookmark
2. Expand All

Only two of the annotations expanded; others remained collapsed:

Smells like a bug.
Both
http://www.diigo.com/bookmark/http://280slides.com and
http://about.diigo.com/about/http%3A%2F%2F280slides.com%2F show public highlights but Diigo 3.1.6.5 (added to Firefox 3.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.5) presents none:
-
Probably _not_ a bug. Reviewing this topic:
1. Highlights alone are most often: private.
2. Only when someone sticks - to a highlight - a note that is public does the combination of the two become public.
3. Highlights and sticky notes aside: comments that are public should be visible.

In the screen shot to my previous message, I offered a possibly bad example - sorry! The home page of site gains exceptional protection:
* to discourage debris/overlays on home pages, there are restrictions on the types of annotations that may be made; highlighting is prevented.

It would be nice if sent invitations appeared in My Messages | Sent.
The text that accompanies an invitation is sometimes carefully thought-through - I tend to not issue invitations unless I'm willing to hold a person's hand for a while after joining. The loss of the text is a waste (but not a show-stopper ;)

Drawing (but not detracting) from at least two threads

and considering the expression 'Share to…' in situations such as this:
I always imagined that the _one_ thing being shared was:

Both groups are public, but both group views omit my public tagging of the page.
I have an open mind. No rush :) -

The original post http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/private-public-unread-bookmarks-for-research-7338#1
* did refer to groups
* did not refer to lists.
I describe sharing to a group; that's the expression that's used by Diigo, and it's an expression that I doubt/query, hence the title of this topic:
>> Diigo expressions 'Share to…' and 'Add to…' are
>> debatably misleading; the actual results are more like 'Duplicate/Triplicate…'
Key points: debatably, misleading
The debate is interesting (I confess, frustrating, though I'm laughing about it ;) and I suspect that both you and I are misled, perhaps in ways that neither of us realise!
> Group bookmarks … become community property.
That's logical :) and from the unintended loss of metadata highlighted at http://www.diigo.com/annotated/a22fbc628ad7cb842fd9d86852d08036 we see that the Diigo workflows/UIs applicable to group assets will benefit from some refinement.
Best,
Graham

Pressing the up arrow on the keyboard:

* actually causes the i-beam to bounce momentarily to the beginning of the field, then back to the _end_.

Not a bug in Safari. The same behaviour is evident in Firefox 3.0.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.5.

WebSlides should not change case of user-inputted texts - 16 views
-
A Diigo list entitled 'apples and oranges' is misrepresented as 'Apples And Oranges'
WebSlides should not change case of user-inputted texts.
Preservation of case is especially important in contexts where abbreviations, acronyms etc. appear.
http://slides.diigo.com/list/grahamperrin/apples-oranges is not the best example (this list was experimental) but you get the idea ;)

Diigo list created in preferred browser (Safari) does not appear in Diigo 3.1.6.5 bookm... - 19 views
-
1. in Safari, create a Diigo list
2. bring Firefox to foreground
3. try to add to the list
= Bug =
The menu available of lists does not present the required list.
= Workaround =
In Firefox:
a. sign out from Diigo
b. sign in.
= Underlying issue =
List features are missing from Diigolet. (Elsewhere in this forum, there's a topic on the subject.) -
For a more recently created list, the workaround was not necessary.
A server/timing issue, perhaps?
(If the user should allow a little time before aiming to add to their newly-created list, simply say so :)
Diigo 3.1.6.5 toolbar missing icons for sidebar and for Diigo and Bookmark buttons/menus - 112 views
-
shows the toolbar as I see it.
http://www.diigo.com/tools/toolbar shows the toolbar as it should be.
To the best of my knowledge, the loss of icons did not coincide with any update or other significant event.
I have tried disabling, enabling, un-installing, installing Diigo 3.1.6.5.
Any other suggestions?

Additional steps required to restore a proper set of icons to Diigo toolbar included (were not limited to):
1. disable DragNDrop Toolbars
- that's the add-on/extension recommended at http://www.diigo.com/annotated/fc687f4ef61f566f5e80302460f3098d
2. quit from Firefox
3. launch Firefox
4. use the Firefox option to customise toolbars
- customisations were previously failing; some misplaced icons could not be removed, etc.
5. realise that the preferred order of toolbars is lost, and can not be changed by Firefox alone
6. enable DragNDrop Toolbars
7. quit from Firefox
8. launch Firefox
9. unlock toolbars
10. drag Diigo toolbar to the required position
11. lock toolbars. -
Subject: maybe OT from Diigo, but dealing with icons missing from Diigo Toolbar 3.1.6.13
I began working through the eleven-step routine at
http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/diigo-3-1-6-5-toolbar-missing-icons-for-sidebar-and-for-diigo-and-bookmark-buttons-menus-8688#2
Some variations around steps 4 and 5 were required, and eventually Diigo Toolbar defaulted to showing icons without text (not a preference set by me, I wonder how it happened) and I didn't bother with steps 6 through 11 but at least Diigo Toolbar looks normal again. Fingers crossed.
Toolbar has disappeared - 171 views
-
Not long ago the entire contents of my Firefox navigation toolbar disappeared, completely. Where one there were buttons, there remained only a grey space. I wasted some considerable time trying to figure out a solution and it annoyed me greatly.
In my case, and in Fenman's case, I suspect conflicts between add-ons/extensions.
AFAIR my solution was to
1. disable all extensions to Firefox
2. quit from Firefox
3. launch Firefox
4. enable preferred extensions
5. quit from Firefox
6. launch Firefox
7. customise Firefox toolbar.
Today, a few parts of my Diigo 3.1.6.5 toolbar are missing but the workaround described above does not help.
Good luck

WebSlides: options to loop/repeat, randomise - 93 views
-
The penny has dropped. With one hopefully minor improvement, WebSlides will be a close to *PERFECT* solution to something that's bugged me for the past five years (since our move to a new building).
Please, can Diigo add an option to _loop_ the presentation?
I see that looping is already possible for the background music but (unless I'm missing something) not for the collection of slides.
As background:
* I would use WebSlides for looping presentation, of a Diigo collection (of pages), to the plasma display in the interior 'street' of our building
* the collection to be displayed will be managed co-operatively by a Diigo group.
An additional option - randomise - would be nice but not essential.
Many thanks

@ Diigo
Might an infinite slide show present a problem in terms of load/performance?
I imagine that second and subsequent loops (repeats) of a show should gain the vast majority of content from a local cache (not loading all from diigo.com for each and every loop/repeat). Is that guess good or bad? -
Imagine: WebSlides, or something like it, as your screen saver…
[News] WebSlides preview - 38 views

I know it's well over a year since Diigo WebSlides was announced … only now do I realise how useful they can be!
I never pictured myself as a presenter, with an audience. To me, the idea of preparing a presentation was always a chore. Masses of copying, pasting, formatting and abstracting - and very much a _one-way_ process (reinforced by the 'show' that's implicit in PowerPoint .pps and comparable read-only formats).
Now, I'll _certainly_ use WebSlides for presentations and - more importantly - for audience participation and feedback.
An excellent innovation. Thanks, Diigo!
