You can recycle your compromised or old bookmarks. Use the mid-safe technique that was described above in the safespot section, but this time use your safespots rather than celestials to take mid-points. In this way you will be able to generate more unaligned safespots from your older ones.

=== Using Corp Bookmarks ===

Corp bookmarks are designed such that anyone in your corporation can read and create bookmarks, although special roles are required to delete bookmarks. Only those with the Communications Officer role can delete and otherwise manage bookmarks listed in the corp bookmarks are.

Corporation bookmarks are limited to 250 so using these bookmarks in larger corporations require some guidelines. In general, the following should be observed when creating and deleting bookmarks in corporation bookmark folder areas in order to manage large numbers of players who wish to store bookmarks.

<br>

==== Managing Bookmarks: ====

1) When in doubt, always use your personal bookmark folder for bookmarks. The corp bookmark folder is not an "overflow" for your own personal bookmarks. Corporation bookmarks are there for use by fleets and special locations that are important for a substantial set of members for your corporation. When creating a bookmark here, you should ask yourself, is it necessary for everyone in the corp to view this?

2) If you are creating bookmarks in the corporate folder, be sure to use a good descriptive name for the folder and the bookmarks. IF you simply label the folder as "temporary" then someone is going to delete them. It is much better to start with a name like "XYZ fleet" then change it to "Delete" when you are done with them.

3) Always be responsible for your own bookmarks in corporation bookmarks. If you add some and no longer need them, please delete them.

<br>

==== Deleting Bookmarks: ====

Occasionally, the corporation bookmark folder may become full. At this point, it is important to consider several issues when deleting bookmarks to add more.

Where should we look?

1) Look at where the bookmark is located. Bookmarks not in any folders are probably mistakes.

2) Look in your group's folder. If you are in solitude, go there first to delete BMs.

3) Finally, if you cannot find any start looking outside your own group.

Which ones MIGHT be candidates for deletion?

1) Bookmarks that YOU MADE are the easiest if you can delete them.

2) Bookmarks that are OLD AND FOR DYNAMIC SITES are more likely to be candidates for deletions. For example, a two day old wormhole location is most likely no longer there, so can usually be deleted safely.

OK, I found some I think can be deleted, now what?

1) Check WHO created the bookmarks. Are they online? Can you check in mumble if they need them?

2) Check in Chat.E-Uni if the bookmarks are needed.

When in doubt, probably better to leave them and find some different ones to delete.

In general, just use common sense.
