    Hi 0),

    Not sure how many of you use this, but it is a great Backup for your bookmarks if you were to have a crash for example.

    http://www.xmarks.com/

    Can be downloaded to support :-


    • Windows IE
    • Mozilla Firefox
    • Chrome
    • Safari
    Another great thing about this facility, is that if you are away from your computer and are using one elsewhere, you can login to Xmarks and go to any of your saved bookmarks.

    In my opinion, it is one of the must-have accounts to hold, as it saved a lot of time uploading the bookmarks to my new laptop a year ago (I just forgot to tell you all sooner :roll: ).

    Oh, and once you have opened your Xmarks account, could you give GC a review here :-

    Thank you :thmb:

    There is a much easier way. Just export your bookmarks to an external HDD or USB Keydrive. But always make sure you put the date in the header (filename) as this will avoid confusion later. You can then open the file in a new browser and drag and drop the links into the toolbar.

    That is one way of doing it, but the above way lets you access your Bookmarks wherever you may be in the world from any pc/laptop.

    You can also add bookmarks to your account from say a friends house, if you so happen to find a good website.
