Problem uploading a new bookmark and logo
Anonymous (not verified) Tue, 05/05/2009 - 04:52
I am trying to add Craiglist to Fast Dial and when I do, Fast dial just sits in "search" mode like it's waiting to upload the bookmark, which seems to be there but the logo won't upload.

With some Web sites it it necessary to load a Fast Dial Logo into the cell, in the case when Fast Dial is unsuccessful in making a thumbnail of the web page.
Many thanks

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Tue, 05/05/2009 - 08:20I have tried to reproduce your problem (Fast Dial 2.23b1)
craigslist.org
craiglist.org
craigslist.com
as URL in a cell all work fine for me.
This was the resulting cell (without logo added)
1. What is the exact URL that you have entered in Properties for your cell ?
3. What is the Logo you are loading ?
4. What Version is your Fast Dial ?
Is your problem only with the craigslist site ?
Problems like you are having were experienced with earlier Versions of Fast Dial when using Java, but Fast Dial currently does not use Java for image scaling.
Many thanks

http://newyork.craigslist.org/
3. What is the Logo you are loading ?
Translucent with peace sign
4. What Version is your Fast Dial ?
2.22b
Is your problem only with the craigslist site ?
Any new site, I already have a few that work but that was from a while ago, then I switched the theme to metalic telega and sometime later now I cannot upload any new bookmarks. I tried changing the themes, that doesn't do anything.
Any ideas?

We will get there in the end..
I popped your URL into a cell and well everything worked fine..
So that is not the cause.

Good.
Your answer is very clear.
Thanks
Any ideas?
No none at all at the moment.
As I cannot reproduce.
We just have to go through the options and see what could be causing this.
One more question if you right click on a Web page and use Add to Fast Dial in the context menu to add a web page to Fast Dial does that work by any chance ?
Has anything changed recently in your setup ?
Firefox Version ?
New Extension ?
Before you do anything else, please do the following:
see here
And then check if the problem is solved.
If not then...
Please try the following two things
a) Create a new Fast Dial Profile.
Load only 2.22b and see if you can reproduce the problem.
b) See if you are getting an errors in the error console
see here
Do this error check on your present non-working profile.
If Fast Dial works in a New Profile, then we can start to narrow down the cause of the problem in your present profile.
The errors in the present profile should help pinpoint what might be causing your problems.
Thanks for your patience.
We should get this fixed as your problem cannot be reproduced.
Many thanks

Good news !
Thanks for the feedback.

Maybe, although the error console is just a method for checking errors.
More likely to have been changing the home page in bookmarks, if you did that...
thank you so much!
A pleasure :-)
I am glad it is sorted.
Many thanks
