Bookmarks have gone - anyone else?

They aren't there when I hover to set them any more. I've checked 'customise' and it's still selected.

Could it be a glitch? I saw a thread a few days ago with the same problem...

I've got them showing automatically on the mobile site on my phone; this is just on the PC.

i'm now on google working fine pm's are working as well

StetsonsAreCool · 27/09/2012 19:49

Bah, disappeared again today. I'm switching to Firefox!

Grin at 'Codey-Liney Thing'. Sounds about right.

My bookmarks have gone too, for once I am on the laptop on the normal site. Using IE9, but wouldn't have a clue what a cache even is, much less how to clear one...

LineRunner · 27/09/2012 13:56

I've got that too, Lemarche. I call it the Codey-Liney Thing.

Maybe we should pick up some bagels and lox and a few cups of coffee and take them to Tech. It's early in the morning in Brooklyn. Grin

Mine only works on phone seems like a lot of techy problems of late

IamtheZombie · 27/09/2012 10:31

Zombie is doing another test. She is using a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. She has Mumsnet open in three different browsers.

In Firefox the bookmarks are there and working.

In Chrome the bookmarks are there and working.

In IE the bookmarks are missing.

She really thinks this is an IE issue.

OK, so now two of you have said you're using IE9. Zombie has just tried IE9 and bookmarks don't work for her on there either, whereas they still work on Firefox.

Sounds like it could be a browser issue.

Stetsons - that's a good point. I should save MN for my phone (painful for my eyes though and typing) or iPad. Perhaps my work IT dept have set this up...? Hmm Grin

IamtheZombie - but I did in my OP. it's working fine on the mobile site and on my iPad but not in IE9 on my PC. It's happened a few times today, on and off, and each time I've cleared the cache, closed the tab and reopened it and it's worked.

It's a pain though as I have my settings to only show threads in full and use the bookmarks function on every thread - some of them are really long ones too.

Anyway, it might all be a cache issue and there are lots of MNers out there so it may be that we've all just got this issue particularly today. :(

I am on a PC using the main site. I'm all excited about Hilary Mantel's answers for the Book Club (history!) at 9pm.

StetsonsAreCool · 26/09/2012 20:39

I cleared the cache and they're back. I'm on the main site, using IE9. On the same laptop I always use, apart from my work computer today. And now I know why I shouldn't MN at work Grin

choccyp1g · 26/09/2012 20:35

Using the same computer as always, in the same room of the same house. So it's not MY fault, so there.

choccyp1g · 26/09/2012 20:34

Gone again.

IamtheZombie · 26/09/2012 19:37

Sometimes these things can depend on how you are accessing MN. Zombie is on a laptop using Firefox and everything is working fine for her. It might help Tech narrow it down if you can all tell him whether you're on the main site or the mobile site or using an app, etc.

LineRunner · 26/09/2012 19:23

I've cleared my cache and still don't have bookmarks.

StetsonsAreCool · 26/09/2012 19:17

Mine have gone too. They were there at lunchtime when I was at work (MN for the first time on my lunchbreak, oo-er). But they've disappeared now I've logged back in from home.

Will try clearing my cache and try not to snigger like a schoolgirl at how that sounds in my head

LineRunner · 26/09/2012 18:41

My bookmarks have gone, too.

Thanks for that Sandy. Because my bookmarks have gone. Again. :(

This is getting rather silly - I can't believe it's really all down to my work PC which has otherwise been untouched settings-wise for some time...?

Off to clear my cache. Again.

Hi all,

It was all about a full stop.

I'm not a techie person (although I do like gin) and with complete innocence I added a full stop to the link (posted by me above) to clear your cache.

It should be www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache

Sorry
