Favorited comments not appearing on Favorites page. Ambrosia favorited this comment of mine, but it does not appear on my Favorites page. (It does appear on her favorites page.) Not sure if it's affecting the total favorites count.

Don't thank me - I didn't do it.

Perhaps this is related to the issue that I tried to discuss recently, to no avail.

the saved favorites page is better this week than it was last week, but its still broke. "next page"-ing backward confuses the thing all to hell after 5 or 6 pages. hitting "next" to go to the "previous" page of comments, mine stops displaying any comments at all.

Mine's not a deleted comment, though, so I don't think it's related to that. I would agree there may be a whole "Favorites are not working well" conversation, though.

Honestly, my number of favorited comments (that is, comments of mine favorited by other people) fluctuates so often that it's hard to believe that people are favoriting and un-favoriting my comments with such frequency. Something else must be afoot. I suppose it's also possible that for every four comments that get favorited, two of those are eventually deleted, with one of the two deleted ones remaining active as a favorite, or some other situation that makes an equal amount of sense.

I was actually going under the assumption that people were, in fact, digging up old threads and changing their favourite status just to play with my mind.

A bug does seem easier to believe now that you mention it.

I've made a number of comments this week, maybe as many as four, not a single one has been favorited! What the fuck is going on, it's driving my insane. If you wankers want to play with my mind, then go ahead - I've had enough I shan't be posting or commenting again. So go choke on pail of prostates. Haters.

On the other hand a bug does seem easier to believe now that you mention it.

posts that I mark as favorites have not been making it to my favorites page for sometime now - maybe since about Thanksgiving. Some comments that I favorited seem to have gotten through tho. I have more posts favorited than comments so I think it somehow related to volume, or that things get bolluxed on page progression. Or maybe poltergeists.

The page of my things that were favorited by others is working much better so that has helped a bit with facial tic abatement, but what quonsar said about some snafus of progression on subsequent pages.
