down now for hours. one of the main reasons I use the page is to archive favorite sites.

bookmarks still 'information not avaiable' 12 HOURS LATER.

Make sure you're using their current one. Not sure what the URL was or if their older module still works. Not sure of much with the info you've given. Just check and see if the one you're using is the current one below.

I am using this one:
http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&root=%2Fig&dpos=top&num=24&url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/builtin_bookmarks.xml&q=bookmarks&start=0

Still shows as unavailable on my home PC.

When I access the same page at work------i DO see them. now what?

i think i fixed it---cleared cookies.
