Favorites Removal

Since the release of collections I had been happy to have the ability to organize my favorites so that I could always go back and look through them. What I have found though is that if I wanted to remove a favorite I would have to go to the deviation itself to remove it. I also cannot remove stored deviations OR move them to a folder.

So, here are my suggestions.

From the 'browsing' area of favorites you should be able to remove favorites rather than just copy them to another folder. To remove them, you currently have to go to the actual deviation page to remove it. This is time consuming for those of us who really want to organize our favorites. Removing them from the 'browsing' area mean it will be removed as a favorite unlike from if it was removed from a collections folder.

On stored deviations, please allow them to be removed in this manner as well. I would also like to suggest the ability to move them to a collection folder so that for those who wish to keep them in the case they are removed from storage they can be found easily rather than lost in the 'browse' area.

Amen to this. I tried to clean up my Favorites....spent 4 hours working on it, and was like "YEEEAHHH" when I finished.

....only to discover they're all still in 'Browse' and I can't remove them without clicking the links. Ugh.

I agree with this. I also hate that phantom image that sits in my Favorites when shown from my user page. If I remove a stored deviation out of my Favorites, it leaves the gallery but still shows up on my user page where I advertise the Faves.

And drives me insane because I don't remember what that deviation was to begin with.

I didn't know it still showed O_o; But yeah, it'd be nice to give us some way to remove them once they are stored.

That could be abused, though?

It is possible as with anything on this site, it is all a matter or if a spam filter is applied, etc.

Possibly.

I just feel that people would mass :+fav: and then mass remove. :shrug:

Well, there is always having the option to suggest with it that if they are removed they are shown as a message as well. X3More messages but then you would know.

Messages would be interesting... I don't think many people would like that idea.

Yeah, there are always good and bad to anything changed. But if people really wanted to see if people kept their faves, they can always check the old fashioned way like I do. X3 I do go by my fave messages anymore (I got favebombed recently) I go by the statistics on the deviation itself and review the faves there.
