Google Notebook problem

May 11, 2007 10:34 AM

I have a complicated but probably stupid question about Google Notebook. When I do a search, and then click on "Note This", a little window opens up at the bottom of the window and shows me the result exactly how I want it. BUT when I go into Google Notebook, the links and the page titles are switched.

For example, if I want to make a note of hopstop.com, in my notebook the (unclickable) page title will be http://www.hopstop.com, but the link will be to HopStop.com%20-%20Subway%20Directions%20and%20Bus%...

This is really unhelpful. How do I fix this? I've tried Googling for the answer (duh), so if you find it there, please let me know what search terms you used!

Strange because it doesn't do that for me. If I bring up Hopstop in a search and choose Note This, my title is "HopStop.com - Subway Directions and Bus Directions for New York" and right below it is a proper link to HopStop.

Are you using an older version of the plugin on all of those machines? (No clue, grasping at straws here.)

Or maybe an older version of Firefox or something?

I use Notebook regular on about give different machines and have not seen this problem (Macs and PCs).
