AJAXy goodness best thing since sliced bread

January 18, 2007 2:37 PM

So it's been a few weeks. May we please have AJAXy goodness applied to favorites across the *.metafilter.com sites?

I like the blue favorites, too. Like like like.

We are in the process right now. pb's almost done with ask mefi's favorites system.

Also, we fixed the old savedfavorites problem where sometimes stuff would not show up on your page.

This was just a ploy to earn lots of favorites.

So how do I favouritize?

unfavouritize (I mean)

So how do I [un]favouritize?

You have to do it from your Favorites page.

Speaking of the Favorites page, how come I can see how many other people favorited (god there's no getting around that damn verb) my favorite threads, but not who all else liked my favorite comments? And, along the lines of nj_subgenius' comment, will removing favorites be re-coded too?

Just noticed it on AskMeta, and ran over here to say: YAAAAY!

Unfavoriting via ajax would cool too, hint hint

Why though? Don't you usually access your favorites (once favorited) from the Favorites page? Where you can then easily de-favorite them?

Good point ClarissaWAM, and it's not as if your favorites page is like the rest of the site, where the AJAX is really needed.
posted by nj_subgenius at 5:25 AM on January 19, 2007

The unfavoriting on your favorites page will eventually be ajaxy as well.

Yeah,but then I go to the page where the favorite to see it's worth keeping when doing pruning.

Yee haw!

I just discovered that now you can favorite a song in MetaFilter Music while it's playing without stopping it. Little detail, I know, but makes a huge difference. Thx to the powers that be.
