bookmarks questions

[brynn]

Hi Friends,
New to SM, trying to learn about bookmarks. When I find a site that I want to bookmark, I click Bookmarks menu > Bookmark this Page. But nothing happens. I can't find any new bookmark.

Also, I have all my bookmarks organized by many folders. But I can't find how to change the name of a folder. In Firefox, the context menu offered Rename. But SM doesn't seem to have that option. How can I rename a folder?

Also, when I use Manage Bookmarks, and I drag and drop the location of a new folder, from the bottom of the list, up to somewhere near the top, then when I close Manage Bookmarks and open the bookmarks menu, the folder has not been moved. How do I move it?

Thank you very much

Edit - And also, if I want to change the text which is showing beside the bookmark, how can I change that. So far, I haven't found how to edit anything about a bookmark.

How can I rename a folder?

• Right click >> Properties & rename ...

• To move a bookmark or a folder to another location in the list:
• Drag the bookmark or folder that you want to move to the new location. To put a bookmark in a folder, drag it to the folder.

And also, if I want to change the text which is showing beside the bookmark, how can I change that.

• Right Click >> Properties & rename ...

I probably should have said that I'm not using the bookmark toolbar - only the menu. I don't see Recent bookmarks. And Other Bookmarks is empty. Oh, but I finally found it. It puts them at the bottom of the menu (which for me, is a page and a half scroll away!).

• Right click >> Properties & rename ...

Ooh, ok. With IE Favs (and Firefox, via addon) when you click to save a new fav, you get a small windows where you choose the folder, and you can change the text, as you save it. So it's just an extra step with bookmarks then. After you save the bookmark, then you drag it where you want it, and use properties if you need to change the text.

• To move a bookmark or a folder to another location in the list:
• Drag the bookmark or folder that you want to move to the new location. To put a bookmark in a folder, drag it to the folder.

Ooh, I see. You can move it actually in the menu! I always missed that with IE/Ff. You couldn't drag anything to move it in the menu, you had to open the manage dialog. So, it's a tradeoff

I tried to convert my old Firefox IE Fav's addon, but it doesn't work.

Oh wow! I'll have to get used to a browser with a help menu that actually works!

Thank you very much!!

Ah-HA!!

Following your suggestion to use the Help menu, I learned this. Instead of choosing Bookmark this Page, if you choose File Bookmark, it let's you choose the folder, change the name, and some other stuff!
