About 1 of every 5 or 6 webpages I try to bookmark in google.com/bookmarks doesn't get added. I end up having to strip the url in the url field down to just the domain and paste the complete url to the comment field just to have a record of the page. And sometimes stripping the url down to just the domain doesn't work either -- somehow there's something in www.sitename.com or the site description name that doesn't get accepted by gmarks.
There's absolutely no pattern that I can discern. It's not weird characters or something. Webpages that get bookmarked and webpages that don't get bookmarked have nothing different between their urls that I can tell, and webpages within a domain/site don't get bookmarked and other pages within the same domain/site do get bookmarked. And it's absolutely consistent through time -- if I come back a couple minutes later, or a week later, the same webpage won't get bookmarked, and the same other pages will. So not a general temporary glitch with Google's servers affecting all requests randomly. (And it's not a censorship issue either -- not that I think Google has such a policy in effect -- the pages that don't get bookmarked are completely random, innocuous, indistinguishable from other sites.) FOR EXAMPLE, this page will not get bookmarked, and as mentioned I had to strip the url down to the domain name (http://www.zdnet.com) and paste the complete url to the comment field to get it accepted as a bookmark: http://www.zdnet.com/article/rip-windows-media-center/ ... while other pages within www.zdnet.com at the same moment will consistently get bookmarked. Anyone else come across this? Anyone from Google weigh in? Thx. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GMarks" group.
