Favorites Request

Can the favorites pages be tweaked so comments retain their formatting and links? Also, when the page displays the whole of a comment, there shouldn't be an ellipsis after it. TY HUGS

the favorites page just shows excerpts from comments, so they don't have formatting or links. If you see the ellipsis, there is usually something more to it (html, images, long links, etc).

Sir, I disagree! But I will withdraw from this matter.

The ellipsis appears at the end of favorited comments whether there's more to the comment or not.

That is my experience as well.

I never noticed it before now but now that I see it, it's actually a bit annoying.

I noticed the ellipsis thing long ago but never found the right venue in which to complain. Serendipity!

42? Is that it? We're going to get lynched, aren't we?

And that's the worst thing of all—not only do we get the ellipsis at the end of a comments short enough to appear in toto, we get that tagged onto period-terminated comments! Four-dot ellipsis! DEVIL MAGIC!
