It makes it real easy to move from one computer/platform to another. Can you add the ability to edit URL? We have this wiki site where the URL ends with a Wiki name. However, Yahoo Bookmarks adds an exta '/' backslash in the URL. This results to a 404, it's not insurmountable, just remove the extra '/' in the address panel and the page will load. I just wish that I can edit the URL. Yahoo Bookmarks is standard on all my Firefox and IE browsers. It makes it real easy to move from one computer/platform to another.

AWFUL! I love everything else but I need to manage bookmarks. The stupid dialog has a huge delay when you save a new bookmark. I want this to be fast and allow me to choose which folder. It is cumbersome at best. YAHOO! PLEASE ENHANCE BOOKMARKS - AGAIN! Yahoo Bookmarks are just awful! AWFUL! I love everything else but I need to manage bookmarks.

YAHOO! PLEASE ENHANCE BOOKMARKS – AGAIN!

On toolbar the bookmarks do not always show. Sometimes even the toolbar refresh does not work. 2. Why can't I edit the URL? Why do I have to delete the entry? 3. trailing /slash / added. I bookmark http:/xxxx.com/ddddd and you save it as <a href="http://xxxx.com/ddddd/" rel="nofollow">http://xxxx.com/ddddd/</a> <- not real URL. This makes Bug 2 even more painful. Released with only 3 show stoppers.

I'm now on my 3rd Yahoo account because the bookmarks toolbar is so flaky. My first account, one day the toolbar decided it will not synch with the bookmarks website. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get them to synch. So I exported all the bookmarks into a second Yahoo account. All worked fine on my second Yahoo account for a couple weeks, then one day, poof all the bookmarks had been deleted. All the folders are still there, but they are all empty. Luckily I still had my exported bookmarks on my hard drive, so now I'm on my 3rd yahoo account. Please fix these annoying problems. The toolbar and bookmarks are very cool…..when they work.

The only way I can save pages is by opening a separate tab, opening and My Web and manually adding the new address. Anybody else had this/solved this ? I have the same problem. I've written a bunch of times, and surprise! no answer. How about considering the wishes of the user, and not the neat-o do-dads that the programmer can make? Personally, I don't spend a lot of time thinking about bookmarks -- I just want them to work. And right now, as far as I'm concerned, they don't. If this doesn't get solved, I'll be looking for another bookmark holder. Suggestions, anyone? PJC Hi

But it still leaves some previous folders from being imported, especially folders within a folder. Please look into my DICTIONARY folder. The FRENCH folder is not imported. Also, looks like the import function does not do well in importing "many folders" within a folder. Please look into my MEDICINE folder. Previously it has dozens of subfolder, but now all is gone except one. If this could be fixed, that will mean the import function is coming closer to perfection. Thanks for your hard work. I still believe in Yahoo!Toolbar and Bookmarks. Duke and Tom,
