To be honest, I thought 'Collections' was the best thing (for me) Microsoft had introduced. I previously used the paid app 'pinboard' (I purchased before a yearly subscription was introduced) which I had used for years and years until Collections came along.

 

I have never ever been a fan of 'Favorites', so I guess I will be having to re-learn about it.

I never even knew that was there. It sounds reminiscent of the Scrapbook feature in Internet Explorer*, another thing that I learned about after they killed it off.

 

*It worked mostly like Favourites, but would save the entire page instead of just its URL. You could therefore view the page at that point in time, a bit like your own personal Wayback Machine.

If you do use 'Collections' have you been offered the 'Move to Favorites' option yet. I haven't.

raindrop.io is what I use.

 

It's so good I pay $50 a year for it, but you get a lot of value from the free version.

Currently using 'raindrop' free version.

 

How can I rename the Headings for websites in 'raindrop'.

 

On the left are my UK sites, on the right are my Microsoft Collections web sites.

Hover over the link, hit the "Edit" button and edit it to say whatever you want.

I think I have achieved what I want to see by using the 'Note' field and then only displaying fields I want in the 'List View'.

 

P.S. Look like the App is on USA Time as all show as '7 May' when I made them on NZ '8 May'.

 

I think I can work with this App.

I don't understand why you don't just edit the title?
To use your first website, https://mirror.co.uk







 

Still long as you've got it working how you want.

 

I can't reproduce the timezone issue sorry, my TZ data is all correct.

Because I did not understand what you had said i.e  'Hover over the link, hit the "Edit" button and edit it to say whatever you want'.

 

Your last post made it clear (to me). Thank you so much.

I have to say that I do like 'raindrop'. I've invested time in learning it (and it's not too difficult).

 

I can't see me moving to the paid version.
