You're still my favorite, really.

Is there a way to reset favorites?

Itty-bitty pony request. Is there a way of resetting favorites to 0? I've been a bit exuberant in favoriting things, and now the feature is useless to me as a bookmarking tool.

Is this something that can be done? Would this be helpful to anyone but me? I promise to be more selective in the future.

Please don't. My self-esteem is closely tied to my accumulated favorites.

I wonder how Tehloki feels about this...

you could unfavorite things you don't like so much any more one by one.

(crazy, I know)

You're a favorite thousandaire and yet you still fish for them. Some people can never get enough.

When I reach 666 favorites, everyone better stop favoriting me.

Take the twenty minutes it would take to de-favorite your 585 favorites and STheckU.

We need a whole bunch of favorites management and browsing tools to make them useful in any real way. One hopes they're in the pipeline.

Agent Kitty, your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to sneak past the guards at the Metahowie complex and set a timed detonation on the favorites stockpile. Expect heavy resistance from distraught pantsfish. Our intel suggests that large donuts are effective at distracting the armed cortices near the entrance. Good luck, Agent Kitty.

Load this page, then hit the remove favorite links. If I recall, they're all ajax so it's just a bunch of clicking to make it so.

This was worth it just to be there when the phrase 'armed cortices' was coined.

Thanks! (And sorry we won't see you at the LA Meetup tonight, #1!)

Speaking of favorites, I'm one favorite away from 180, anyone care to help make it a round number?

Uh oh! You're uneven now!

No pain, no gainloss. You made your bed, now you get to manually unfavorite in it.

puke & cry kept his favorites at 666 for a while, but that dude is just too awesome to keep the favorites at bay.

Of course, you can always favorite and unfavorite your own comments to 'round them out' as much as you want.
posted by delmoi at 11:09 PM on November 17, 2007

Huh, I just noticed I have 1222 favorites and 1777 favorites by others.
posted by delmoi at 11:11 PM on November 17, 2007 [2 favorites]

I could do that, but I also intend to maintain 0 favorites.

Oh, thx miss lynns, I'm back to a round number again.

Actually, I was the troublemaker that turned you all uneven. You should thank empyrean for fixing it. :)
posted by miss lynnster at 7:39 AM on November 18, 2007

If they ever implement a button for resetting favorites, I am going to stay the hell away from it. The very thought frightens me.

oh, that's true. Thx empyrean. And you, miss "troublemaker," when are you going to post another of those upright-bass-and-voice marvels of yours to Music?
posted by micayetoca at 6:22 PM on November 18, 2007

Once I find a bassist here that can actually DO them. I'm auditioning one next week, tho.

Is there a way to reset favorites?

A better question would be, is there a faster way to strangle puppies?

Because that is what you are suggesting. I don't want to be the guy who says that every time you unfavorite something, god strangles a puppy, but here we are.

Sweet Jesus, miss lynnster, I just dug around in your music posts... these are amazing.

My crush* for you is so much bigger now than it was yesterday.
