A little while ago I wrote a post detailing some computer troubles I had, entitled “New disaster creates new site“, in which I had high praise for the FoxMarks Bookmark Sync add-on. Well, I just upgraded to the latest, greatest version of the add-on yesterday, and the love affair almost came to a screaming halt. You see, once the upgrade was complete, FM asked me to set up the add-on as though this were a new install. Puzzled but trusting, I proceeded in good faith. When I was done, so were my bookmarks. They had vanished into the vastness of cyberspace.
Here’s what happened (as I understand it): somewhere between version 1 and version 2, FM changed servers, so that the V2 sync files are stored somewhere else. If you haven’t done the upgrade yet, don’t worry, just make sure that when you go through the set up routine, you instruct FM to upload your existing bookmarks to the server, NOT the other way around. If you have already done the upgrade, and lost your bookmarks, FM has very kindly supplied a fix. It’s a bit of a hoop jump, but painless for all that.
Here’s the link: Foxmarks: Error: Missing Bookmarks After v2 Install
Needless to say, the love affair continues, for I of all people know that every relationship has it’s ups and downs…
