Hey,

I was wondering if there was a way that i could add a second row of bookmarks to my bookmark toolbar. I like having a lot of bookmarks on the toolbar, but i hate having to click over on the arrow to see the rest of the bookmarks that couldn't fit on the page.

Is there any way i could add a second bookmark toolbar row?

TH:apple:NKS.
 
Let me just check one thing before I give an answer. Are your bookmarks individual bookmarks or collections?
 
OK, that's what I thought might be the issue. I do not know how to create a second bookmarks bar, I am sure with a lot of effort you could find someone who has figured out a way, but honestly the much easier and more practical solution is as follows. Instead of having all individual bookmarks, group some, if not all, into collections that logically work well together. So for example, I have one bookmark entitled Apple which has maybe 20 different apple related sites I have bookmarked within. All it means is literally holding down the mouse maybe a second longer while you select the target bookmark.

You just select "show all bookmarks" and go in and make a folder in the bookmarks bar (see photo 1). Once you have done that, you are all set and you have a nice clean organized bookmarks bar (see photo 2). You will notice that I left a couple bookmarks as individual bookmarks because I use them so much. The point is you should be able to get the best of both worlds and not have to come up with some crazy solution to modify the bookmarks bar. I hope this helps.

If you're like me, you've got the whole bookmarks bar full of folders. I'd like to add a second (or even third) bookmarks bar.

If anyone knows how to do this, or has some other tip how to handle this, let us know, please!
