IE7 Favorites

What do I need to do to view favorites that are not in the current menu?
 
I have a lot of non-sorted favorites. But atm I am seeing this 4 bars of favorites listing but not the ones I added as last. I am unable to reach them true the menu, before this was possible by scrolling a long time.

This might be a problem with my matrox driver or something like that, because the favorites menu item is also covering both my screens instead of only the active screen.

Is anyone else having the same problems or am I the only one that is just messy with his favorites?

I have no problems with my Favorites. I have added some and I have a long list and I can scroll without issue.

IE7 has been solid since I started using it...I even posted an entry on my Blog about my first thoughts after loading it if anyone is interested, here is the link: http://bazzoni.blogspot.com/2005/08/first-impressions-internet-explorer-7.html

Could be a driver issue for you like you mentioned.

Does the scrolling menu have a bar yet?

Okay, my Favorites is no where close to yours. If you want to send me a copy of your bookmark.htm file I could try it on one of my test machines with IE 7 to see if I get the same results.

It really sounds to me like an IE team member should ask you for your bookmark.htm file to test, but I would be willing to at least give it a shot.

What screen resolution are you using?

Erm, question:

Why does IE7 have this "Windows 95 Start-menu-style" behaviour for the favorites list?

What's wrong with the fine'n'dandy scrolling menus instead?

Or even the sidebar!

Erik,

Wow, great work on this so far. It is really strange that it is cliping off 5 favs per line.

I looked at your code I will try this out at a different resolution and see what happens.

I agree with NeoTom.  I prefer the Favorites sidebar (Ctrl I) to the Favorites menu, especially if you're going to deal with that many favorites.

Only then you get less bars, I must say this is a damn good reason to buy an extra TFT display =)

ghehe CRT are too cheap, you need to buy those in bulk =)

I discovered that my favorites displayed correctly once I sorted them all into alphabetical order. Previously, those at the end which were not in order were not displayed. IE7 seems to recognise favorites which are in alphabetical order, and to ignore any which are out of order after the final Y's or Z's

My favorites make up two columns with a few left over. When I first click on the menu, the last few are missing, but when I move the mouse off the menu and back, the second column scrolls down to show the last few.

This is all rather odd, and not very intuitive. What was wrong with the old style favorites menu

Incidentally, there is a check box in Tools/Internet Options/Advanced to 'Enable Personalized Favorites Menu', but it does not seem to have any effect

thinking about it , it would be nice if with IE7 or Vista you could sort favorites by tags; and optionally have it organized this way in the menu and sidebar. something about my experience in bookmarking sites is that i rarely take time to organize bookmarks so i have a long list. if when  you make a bookmark the messagebox has an input for tags, and it automatically organizes it for you that would be nice

You should be able to build virtual folders of favorites in Windows Vista.  With WinFS, you should be able to run queries with resultsets of favorites being returned.
