Minor niggle with saving HUBB links to favourites
 

Frequently when I am surfing through the HUBB, I come across something of interest which I want to save in my favourites folder. Up until a few years ago (can’t quite remember when this changed) I would have the relevant page open in my browser (internet explorer), I would click on ‘Favourites’, then ‘Add to Favourites’. A small dialog box would then appear giving me options of renaming the link, and where I want to place it. The name for the link would always automatically be the name of the relevant page I was visiting + ‘Horizons Unlimited – The HUBB’

Eg. ‘Carnet - everything you need to know starts here! - Horizons Unlimited – The HUBB’

But in the last year or two, whenever I save links to my favourites folder, the link is automatically named ‘Horizons Unlimited – The HUBB’ no matter what page I’m visiting.

I know it’s a minor niggle, but now I have to manually rename each link I save. Primarily this is because you can’t save a second link with the name ‘Horizons Unlimited – The HUBB’ or else the computer will tell you that you already have a link by that name.

Hmm, interesting - not sure where / when that changed, will look at it when I have some time - which may not be until December!

thanks for letting me know! otherwise it would never get sorted...

Bump :)

Got it fixed! :)

not sure how it creeped in, but there was an extra <title> tag messing it up.

Woo hoo! :thumbup1:

Beware changing addresses !

I bookmark New posts at a shortcut on my computer which is:

http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...etdaily&days=1

When using a new computer I couldnt get it to work.

Then I realised that in 2 seconds, the link re-directs to:

Horizons Unlimited - The HUBB - Horizons Unlimited - The HUBB

The second link is always changing so won't work with a static bookmark.


So when you're on the page you want to bookmark, copy it FAST or it might change.

Just an observation.

any time a page redirects, there is an obvious screen showing that's what's happening - at least it does on mine!

You can always edit a bookmark by getting the correct link (right click where the link is, and copy link location or similar depending on browser) and then edit the bookmark.

Not on mine. Google chrome in Windows 7.

However, that is from clicking the new posts link from the drop down menu.

Interesting, on Firefox I get the visible redirect no matter what.
