I've amassed quite a number of bookmarked posts and need to do a little house keeping.


TOPICS:
KEYWORDS: bookmark; delete; faq
Thanks in advance.

Bottom of the "links" page on your profile page.

Click on "you can edit this page" and go from there.

Go to your profile page, click links at the top, scroll down, click Edit list, select threads you don't want bookmarked any more, and then click delete, or some such at the bottom...

I delete bookmarks by highlighting them, clicking the right side of the mouse, and then clicking the "Delete" command. This sends bookmarked links to my recycle bin (trash can), which can then be emptied.

Hold the mouse over the bookmark, abd hit the RIGHT mouse button. A menu should pop up with a "delete" option on it.

Log on to your computer at a command prompt and type:

"format c:/s"

Just Kidding...

Thanks to all. I never saw the edit option at the bottom of the page. OK, I now feel like an idiot.

How do I delete posts I've bookmarked?

White Out (Liquid Paper) works for me.

At least you had the courage to ask. I've been wondering too and feeling like an idiot for six months now but too wimpy to ask anyone. Thanks!

You're welcome. You can import and export bookmarks as well, FWIW.

Bookmarks can multiply like rabbits. Using a text editor I see that my bookmark list of 1200 link (favorites) has 5,800 lines and 119,000 words. So each time the browser starts up I am sure it impacts performance a little. Guess it is time for more cleaning ;)
