Did your browser crash?
If so, that can wipe out the upload of bookmarks that most browsers perform upon start up.

Determine where your browser stores your bookmarks file. Most likely, it maintains a back up of the file. Determine which is the most recently saved back up.

Then open your browser, go through the toolbar to upload bookmarks, and then upload the backup file. It

Which browser are you running?

If Firefox, it sounds like your profile settings were corrupted.

Do a search of your hard drive for a file called ‘bookmarks.html’(this is where Firefox places bookmarks). When you find the file, import your bookmarks into Firefox from it.

PS: It’s likely you may find multiple files with the name ‘bookmarks.html’, because a new one would have been created. Be sure to import from the one that actually contains your bookmarks.

What browser are you using? It would help if you explain further because it is not clear what you mean by a bookmark.

You have none left because I took them.

All your bookmarks are belong to me.

On the other hand, restart your computer. If they're still gone, try searching your computer for bookmarks*. Include the asterick.

If, as I presume, you are talking about your Free Republic bookmarks, something obviously has changed because I encountered the exact same problem searching through my older bookmarks.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can help you (and thus me) out!

Some but not all of mine are gone.

When I click the link I may get “No such file (give_legacy_article)” or “This article has been deleted.”, or the link may bring up the article.

Windows wiped out everything when it upgraded Window 7
a few days ago. They moved everything in my cupboards,
rearranged my furniture and replaced the pictures I so
lovingly placed on my walls with their stuff. I can’t
find ANYTHING!!!

It’s MY HOUSE, Microsoft.

I will decorate it MY WAY!
