There's now a new section in My Caves: Favorites. You may access it by clicking on the "favorites" link at the bottom of the page (whenever you're viewing a My Caves page).

This section shows all of the posts throughout the website that you have "liked", all in one convenient location. It also includes your favorite website members and forum threads (please note: these are not your forum bookmarks, but simply forum threads that you have 'liked' via the Like button).

I'll be adding the rest of the community sections soon (links, advice, resources). Enjoy. :)

Thank you for this feature, Rascii! Having all our favourites in one place is going to be really useful; especially for downloads when it comes to recommending or re-downloading them. :)

One thing though: On my favourites page, I have a few broken thumbnails (in the Creatures and Images sections), do you have any idea why this is?

Another great addon it seem ^^
I just wonder - what does the "member part" means in the fav section? O.o

I do read you said "ou have "liked", all in one convenient location. It also includes your favorite website members"

But I am pretty sure I must have liked/comment on theyre stuff onmore people then that, but not faved the people themself,as far I remember O.o


Is this members that faved me or something,as I can't recall I have added them or something like that? ,as said - only been liking/comment on theyre comments.
(not to be rude or anything,I of course add them back if I knew,now if thats case..but I guess thats not the case XD )

the rest I understand,as I have liked/comment images and breeds as far I know..

Sorry if this somehow sound silly ^^' *blush*
I just wanted to be clear why there is 3 only in "members" in my favourites - dosn't make me much clear as why they are there,when it's only theyre avatar visible but not the reason why XD

Edit: cheking the memberlist,I saw the is "fav" mark,like the bookmarking,and I cheked those 3 people,it was set on "faved" but I haven't done that ,as far I can remember,so how could this happen then O_O *it's not a bad thing,but just wonder*

Edit: also while im on this kind of idea,
if this realy has nothing to do with "following/adding people sort of as friend or like that", then where is that found in? I have a faint memory that people used to list people on theyre profile on whom they added as friend (or at least perhaps consider one as?) and so..unless Im mistaken it for something...

once again,many apologises îf you find this as strange or silly questions of mine ^^'

Hmm that seems odd. So some are working fine but others are broken? Can you give me the specifics on which ones work/don't work?

Thank you for the questions! I'd be happy to clear this up for you. Your 'favorite members' are those who you have clicked the "add to favorites" button for (the little + button at the top right of their profile or the one at the bottom right of their forum posts, underneath their avatar), which I see you've found already.

Once you've added a member to your 'favorites', you can send them messages more easily on the Messages page because they will be located in the "send to" drop down menu automatically. You can also sort Updates and Likes by 'favorites only', so it's easier to keep up with what they've been doing on the website.

Additionally, if you've never added a user to your favorites but you have three favorite users, it means that you had previously added them to your "Address Book" on the old website. The Address Book was transformed into the new Favorites list during the revamp.

And in the old Address Book you could mark some contacts as "buddies" which would be displayed on your profile. However, I removed this with the revamp. If people would like this feature to return, I could re-add it. :) Perhaps show a tiny avatar for all of a users' 'favorites' on his/her profile.

Hope this helps. :) If anyone has suggestions on how the 'favorite members' feature can be more useful, please let me know! I think if the number of members and posts increases dramatically after the release of C4, I might make it so that updates and likes feeds show only favorites by default or something. :)

I'm afraid it doesn't say which posts; even when I try clicking or hovering the cursor over them (all it says is '( )'). When I try clicking the broken thumbnails it just takes me to the relevant section. :)

Ah, thanks Laura. You've found another bug. :D Those broken images were actually comments that you had liked which were on creatures/images. Should be fixed now. :)
