Bookmarks Beta lost bookmarks in conversion

    UPDATE: Just found the missing bookmarks. Yahoo stuffed them all in a top-level folder named "MyWeb Bookmarks" and duplicated my entire folder structure under that top folder. It appears that they did it quite randomly. A huge editing chore awaits me, I guess, and it will be much slower with the full-screen Bookmark editing I have to use instead of the text-based editor that existed yesterday.

    Sorry, guys, this is NOT an improvement to this long-time Yahoo booster.

    When Yahoo Bookmarks converted my existing bookmarks this a.m., it seems to have lost about half of them. Even though the total count on the new Bookmarks page looks correct, many of my "old reliables" (like my bank, newspaper, CragisList) that I use frequently are just MISSING! And I can't go back; the link to go the prior version 6 actually takes me to a download for Version 7.

    I used to be able to email Support though the Help Center if my search for an answer came up with nothing, but I can't find that link.

    Can anyone suggest how to contact Yahoo to recover these bookmarks? I have lots of stuff in there that I rely on, and since it's all server-based, it will be inaccessible from all my computers.

    Thanks.
