I've used Furl for years. For the past four or five days, whenever I
try to save something, I get a notice that I should update and am
directed to the tools page. Nothing about updating there but, what the
heck, I've tried every option there--installing again (I'm told I
already have the toolbar), adding icons. Nothing improves. And, no, I
can't ignore he notice about updating; I don't have any choice in the
matter.
There's a link "if you have problems." I've filled out that form
several times but it's like sending a complaint to Microsoft: you know
it's hopeless. I'm also supposed to get a copy of my complaint sent to
my e-mail box but I've never gotten one.
I guess I'll go try Simpy. I tried Scrapbook--yuck.
I have not had any trouble with FURL.NET, today or yesterday.
I use the bookmarklet, not the toolbar. I do know that there was an
update of the bookmarklet code, but that was more than a few months
ago... When was the last time you updated your FURL bookmarklet?
After you login at FURL.NET, use My Tools... "Installing" a Furl
Button -- to get a new copy of the javascript.
...
Let us know if that helps, or not.
If you do go to Simpy, let us know what you like and dislike, after
you have some experience with it.
If you want to do some troubleshooting, you can try this, and report
back:
... How can I use Furl to save pages from a computer where I can't
install the button or toolbar?
Follow these steps when you come across a Web page you want to Furl.
1. Open a new browser window.
2. Type http://www.furl.net/save into the address field.
3. You will be prompted to log in. Enter your account username and
password.
4. You will then access the "Furl It - Save" page. Enter all the
relevant details for the page (Title, URL, Topic, etc.). When entering
the URL (Web site address), be sure to include http:// at the
beginning of the address, so it will be saved correctly.
5. Press the Save button and you're done.
