Favorites Gone

[lunatic59]

My list of favorites is now gone.

 

[agentc13]

Same here.

 

[Bob Cat]

And here.

Was just coming here to create this thread. I took them for granted...

 

[sammyz]

My favorites are gone too and just wanted to point out the time is wrong now on any of my new posts, on my computer (it's always wrong on my phone..)

Edit: hmm now it's correct time...

 

[tube517]

Mine too. Also, AF was down for a while earlier. Maybe an upgrade going on?

I hope so. I also saw this site was down completely this morning, and I was helping someone with an important deleted app on a rooted device...

 

[gvillager]

Me too. I miss my favorites.

 

[lexluthor]

No favorites here either, but I do have an Amazon ad where they used to be

 

[Doit2it]

Well click that add. Earn some money for the forums. BTW, I miss my favorites too!

One of the site developers gave an explanation here:

You are getting the nginx error because the backend (which is apache) is dieing on us. We are well on our way to doing some big server and infrastructure upgrades, we are just working out the details.

So presumably that is the source of all the bugs we're seeing at the moment too. Rest assured that it is being worked on though

We had talked about removing the favorites as a test to see if it is having much to do with our load issue. It appears they went on and did that.

Temporary fix. I love Firefox!

How to: Open ALL your favorite pages via tabs in Firefox. Right click any tab and select "Bookmark all tabs" from the drop down menu. Give it a folder name and change the location to "Bookmarks Toolbar". Done!

I miss them already! Would there be any way to get the "xx unread posts" part with our subscribed list (instead of favorites), or is that also part of the load issue. That's the part I really miss.

Thanks for the update!

My favorite forums/unread posts is the only way I navigate the forums! I hope this gets fixed soon!:thumbdown::motz::hmpf::argh:

Totally lost without them. I don't know how else I'd keep up here.

+1, I would really miss that feature if it was permanently removed.

Not at the moment. I saved the search strings for unread and favorites and neither is working at this time. Gonna have to make me some temporary shortcuts.

Same here, looks like I have to bookmark everything :thumbdown:

The favorites (when I discovered about it) is the best part of AF I don't know if these exist on AC or XDA but I would hate to see these gone on AF

P.S. Favorites still work on Phandroid App looks like they only got rid of it on the main site

Actually, the list of favourite forums on tapatalk is not the same.

On the desktop version of the site we had favourite forums and subscribed forums. You can find the list of subscribed forums in the user cp, and that has not been disabled. It won't give you an unread post count though.

Once you're on tapatalk, the list of favourite forums is actually your list of subscribed forums, despite what the name implies.

So yeah, you can subscribe to each forum for quick navigation still.

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Pleasae consider reinstating the "favorites" feature. It was the best thing about this forum IMO. As a kinda-sorta stop-gap measure, I'm using the Today's Posts link under Quick Links, but it's not as good.

Phandroid app favorites are the same as what doesn't appear anymore, tapatalk is not. (Just clearing this up)

There are way to many forums and the site is basically unusable to me without favorites. I can scroll through all the clutter to find my phones forum but finding other places I like to visit (like here) is a real pain buried in everything.
Hope you get it fixed soon

Agree. I've basically stopped using the forums. It's impossible to keep up with so many forums now. i sure hope someone reconsiders this and fixes by morning.

I use favorites to navigate as well, the other option is subscribing to forums (which I had to do for Tapatalk since it doesn't use favorites like the phandroid app does).

If favorites do return it would be nice if they were available while within a thread as well (a customizable choice on the users part if possible).
