Have "bookmarks" been disabled? (EDIT: NEVER MIND. I SOLVED IT!)

EDIT TO ADD: Never mind. I solved the mystery. It was an ad-blocker setting.

I cannot find threads I've bookmarked in the past. And the posts that I've added a personal "sticky note" to... they used to be displayed in the "bookmarks" page... but there's nothing there.

I thought it was a useful feature.

1. They're working for me.

2. Hmmm... maybe it's because I'm in MIRT. There could be a setting or privilege...

that's incompatible with those to features. Thanks very much for checking in!

3. If so, that's a programming issue for the admins. DM Earlg.

But you might restart the browser (kill/relaunch), or clear cookies in the browser. I have had javascript go a little bomkers at times.

I have mistakenly turned off JavaScript, or gone into private mode. Many people do the latter with a mistaken finger press.

Hope it's user error, cuz program bugs are a pain to fix. Don't ask me how I know.

Good luck.

4. They have not been disabled but

there may be a bug which is preventing your bookmarks from being displayed, even though they still exist. Unfortunately since it's the holiday period I might not be able to get this fixed immediately, but I'll look into it.

5. Got it... it's the new ad-blocker that I installed in Chrome.

Things are working fine now. Sorry for the false alarm.

6. Cool!

Nice detective work. I have so many extensions in Firefox that I lost track, and expect odd things to happen.

One even solves many captchas. Nice!

I don't need any more of those eye exams!
