I show you.

This is how it looks on top - just fine:



And this is how it looks on the bottom:



So if I move it to right it shows the rest:



That's what I'm talking about :)

Thanks!

Ah. The plot thickens. I have to admit that since I upgraded the plug-in (and had these issues) I ended up saving my links through the web site (I get the same results with the bookmarklet).
Mainly because I use Mento mostly to send links to friends.

Anyway. Now that you asked me about the second page, I actually did what you asked, and bookmarked both. I still need to relogin on the second bookmark, but the weird thing is that none of them actually go to my links list on mento. It's as if it's not working at all.

I made a screen capture. Because a movie speaks more than words ;)

Help?

Very cool! I am excited to try it out!!
Will post my feedback on it here!

Jigar Mehta replied on August 29, 2008 21:28 to the problem "Firefox addon doesnt work on this page.." in Mento:

For me, it actually still gives the same problem!

My experience is, small box popup comes but it stays blank! I dont see any editboxes and selected images!

Not sure if that is some problem with my machine!! I will check with different machines!

grex replied on August 29, 2008 21:07 to the idea "Word count for each link" in LaterLoop:

That's a good point! It's actually the same idea that we're using for our own "text-only view" algorithm, which we are currently testing internally.

When we implement word count, we might make it a client-side calculation because doing this on the server is possible but quite an effort given how many links get saved on LL each day.

grex replied on August 29, 2008 21:01 to the idea "Google Reader Firefox extension for sharing stories directly on Mento!" in Mento:

Hi Jigar,
I have a surprise for you... that's already working! All you need is the very latest version of the extension -- you have to download it manually at www.mento.info/share because we haven't published this update via the default Firefox mechanism yet.

Once you installed the new version, Mento will automatically recognize Google Reader's currently selected item (highlighted with a blue border) and share that link. You can use the same image selection and other features as always, too.

We also thought that this would be a useful improvement for the current extension :) ... so I hope it's working for you. Let me know if you have any trouble.

grex replied on August 29, 2008 20:55 to the problem "iPhone version needs tweaking" in LaterLoop:

Thanks so much for pointing this out! LL was looking swell and tidy on the iPhone when we launched (2 months ago or so?) It sounds like things may have changed a bit so that the display is different now - I'll take a new look and will investigate.

Do you see horizontal scrollbars or what did you mean when saying that LL didn't quite fit?

Thanks so much for your patience!

grex replied on August 29, 2008 20:52 to the problem "toolbar not working" in Mento:

Hi DTS,
You can easily re-install the extension by going to www.mento.info/share.

Can you log in on the Mento site? And once you log in and go to a new website, does Mento still ask you to login again when you try to post a link?

grex replied on August 29, 2008 20:50 to the idea "The old popup-based bookmarklet was so much better." in Mento:

We found that it's really difficult to build a box that works well for everyone -- this is actually the fourth major design change that we went through and I'm sure it won't be the last.

We decided to change the box because we observed that the vast majority of people wasn't using the many features of the old box -- instead, those features, links and buttons were even distracting and overwhelming. So we decided to build a much simpler box and let advanced users customize it to their needs.

Have you tried using the "Extras" panel? You'll find the link at the top right (next to "add image" etc). Once you checked it out, I'd love to hear your feedback on which features you find missing -- or how we should adapt the new box.

grex replied on August 29, 2008 20:45 to the problem "Not so nice new Firefox Extension (and bookmarklet)" in Mento:

Hm- that's bizarre and frustrating indeed. Let me ask you some more basic questions, just to get one step closer to understanding the problem:

You say that you have to login every time. Does it ask you to login even if you bookmark a second page right after saving the first? And what happens when you log in on the Mento site, surf the web and use the bookmarklet/extension then? (I assume that you are using the "remember my login" option)

The autocomplete problem is probably caused by the same underlying problem-- we'll figure this out! Meanwhile, I'm very thankful for your patience!

grex replied on August 29, 2008 20:40 to the problem "Firefox addon doesnt work on this page.." in Mento:

Hi Jigar,
I couldn't get to it right away but after testing it now, I didn't encounter any problem on that page. It could have been that the Mento server was temporarily unreachable (sigh, it happens...)

Could you give it a try again now and let me know if the page still causes a problem? Thanks so much for your help!

grex replied on August 29, 2008 20:37 to the problem "Don't use Cmd+M as a shortcut for the FF extension on OS X." in Mento:

Got it-- Cmd+Shift+M it'll be! Thanks for your feedback!

grex replied on August 29, 2008 20:36 to the problem "Edit via information" in Mento:

Hi Götz,
The feature is certainly not missing by intention -- it's one of those things that was always one step further down on the to-do list -- we simply haven't gotten to it yet. We plan on adding it in the near future -- both the via information for websites as well as users.

Thanks for your patience!

compulsiveguile replied on August 29, 2008 20:29 to the problem "Firefox Keyboard shortcuts" in LaterLoop:

So there's no way to change the shortcut for either? I want to be able to bookmark in firefox using apple + d, but that automatically brings up the delicious plugin

Asmodeus replied on August 29, 2008 01:24 to the idea "Links shown on Your Current page" in LaterLoop:

I was about to say this, but it's already here!
20 or more would be great, especially in Archive, so it would be easy to remove unwanted links.
