Wow bet you have a big search when you click on favourites to find the one you want.I,ve got 72 in my favourites and sometimes skim up & down several times looking for the one I want

its in a bit of a mess really,I just keep adding ones and they arent grouped very well-only the other day i added one that tells me discount charges for phone calls abroad when searching for people- its awesome-1p a minute to Canada or Australia.

I see you can group them together by creating folders and sorting them in. Seems like a big job tho and I cant be bothered with that at the mo. Some favourites aren't that distinguishable by their saved name,I often search for one and don't recognise the name

If you're anything like me, some of those won't lead anywhere now because the sites have gone or moved. You should download AM Deadlink, it runs through all of them and shows any that are no longer viable. You might get rid of a few that way. Sue
