Can't save certain sites to favorites
Certain sites won't let me save them as favorites. It doesn't matter if I use the "Favorite this page" button or the Favorites menu. It just won't save it. www.dumpr.net is a good example.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?I would like to figure out the problem that you are experiencing. Could you send me your profile? It is stored in different places based on what type of computer you use.
Mac OS X
The profile folder is in a folder named "Flock," and you'll find it on this path:
(your home folder)>Library>Application Support>Flock
Linux
~/.flock/browser/
Windows 2000 and XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[your login profile name]\Application Data\Flock\Browser\
Windows Vista
C:\Users\Yourloginprofile\AppData\Roaming\Flock\Browser\Profile
Please compress(zip) this folder (after closing Flock) and upload it at http://www.yousendit.com to performance@flock.com
If you have any questions feel free to email me at Bruno at flock dot com.

Inappropriate?Hello Kris,
Would you go to http://whatsmyuseragent.com/ and paste the value at Your user agent, please? For me, I can favorite www.dumpr.net without any problems at Flock 2.0.2. Did you install any favorites extensions or did you login to any online favorites service (ie. Delicious.com or Magnolia.com)? Did this happen after the Flock update or it has been a while since Flock 1st installed?
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Patricia,
My User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008112016 Firefox/3.0.4 Flock/2.0.2
I don't have any favorites extensions installed. I did activate my Delicious account in "Accounts and Services". I installed Flock several months ago and then uninstalled it. I just installed the latest version 2 days ago.
Bruno,
I sent you my profile. -
Inappropriate?Thank you very much Kris for sending me your profile.
I investigated the problem and found out that the favorites database got corrupted.
Please delete the file "places.sqlite" from your profile (C:\Documents and Settings\[your login profile name]\Application Data\Flock\Browser\Profiles\wgxv6nq8.default)
Your favorites will be restored for you from the automatic backup.

Inappropriate?How do I restore this automatic backup because now there is absolutely nothing in my Favorites Sidebar. The Favorites menu has my local favorites, but the Online favorites is empty.
-
Inappropriate?I am glad you have your local favorites safe and sound. The online favorites should appear within the hour.
Regarding your Favorites Sidebar, try restarting Flock. -
Inappropriate?Still nothing in my Favorites Sidebar. Completely empty. No folders. No anything.
-
Inappropriate?Ok, I reproduced the problem and there seems to be something wrong with the automatic backup. Here's how to solve the problem.
-Stop Flock
-Delete your "places.sqlite" from your profile
-Find in your profile the directory called bookmarkbackups and rename it oldBookmarkbackups
-Start Flock and go to "Favorites/Organize Favorites". Select "Import and Backup" and choose "Restore" and Choose File from oldBookmarkbackups.
Don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
