Bookmarking Enhancement

Lazeez Jiddan (Webmaster)

I've made a change to the bookmarking interface for bookmarking stories.

Now instead of shuttling you off to a separate page, and returning you when you're done, but 'Bookmark' button pop-up a dialog box in the same page and when you're done it removes it.

Hopefully this will make the site more pleasant to use.

As usual, we tested the system extensively, and on our limited set up, it worked properly.

If you face bugs, please report them here and if your report bugs, don't forget to list your system/platform/device, its version, your browser and its version.

If you system is Buggy, and you are from Oklahoma, it may be a surrey with the fringe on top.

"When I take you out, tonight, with me,
Honey, here's the way it's goin' to be:
You will set behind a team of snow white horses,
In the slickest gig you ever see!
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters
When I drive them high steppin' strutters.
Nosey pokes'll peek thru' their shutters and their eyes will pop!
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery's brown,
The dashboard's genuine leather,
With isinglass curtains y' can roll right down,
In case there's a change in the weather.
Two bright sidelight's winkin' and blinkin',
Ain't no finer rig I'm a-thinkin'
You c'n keep your rig if you're thinkin' 'at I'd keer to swap
Fer that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
Aunt Eller: Would y' say the fringe was made a' silk?
Curly: Wouldn't have n' other kind but silk.
Laurey: Has it really got a team of snow white horses?
Curly: One's like snow, the others more like milk.
All the world'll fly in a flurry, When I take you out in the surrey,
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!
When we hit that road, hell fer leather,
Cats and dogs'll dance in the heather,
Birds and frogs'll sing all together and the toads will hop!
The wind'll whistle as we rattle along,
The cows'll moo in the clover,
The river will ripple out a whispered song,
And whisper it over and over:
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever?
Don't you wisht y'd go on forever and ud never stop
In that shiny, little surrey with the fringe on the top!
I can see the stars gettin' blurry,
When we ride back home in the surrey,
Ridin' slowly home in the surrey with the fringe on top!
I can feel the day gettin' older,
Feel a sleepy head near my shoulder,
Noddin', droopin' close to my shoulder, till it falls kerplop!
The sun is swimmin' on the rim of a hill;
The moon is takin' a header,
And jist as I'm thinkin' all the earth is still,
A lark'll wake up in the medder.
Hush, you bird, my baby's a-sleepin'!
Maybe got a dream worth a-keepin'
Whoa! you team, and jist keep a-creepin' at a slow clip clop.
Don't you hurry with the surrey with the fringe on the top!"

Great enhancement.

Not sure if this is related to bookmark feature, or just some other feature/bug, but I noticed new picture, X in circle, on all story pages in bottom left corner.

I'm using Firefox 83.0 (64-bit).

Yes, related. You need to refresh the stylesheet for the stories. While viewing a story, hold down the shift key on your keyboard and click the reload button a couple of times to force reload the css file and the x will disappear.

I have reading queue checkbox set to OFF in my preferences, and when bookmarking a new story, the checkbox shows as off - but the story gets added to my Reading queue, and I have to uncheck the queue checkbox to clear from the queue. Is this expected behaviour or a minor problem?

Minor problem. Fixed.

Thank you for the speedy response, even for such a minor issue. I fear that we are coming to expect you to fix all the world's problems...

It's a premier feature. It's on pretty much all the story lists except the My Library lists.
