Topic: [Bug] Unable to unfavorite posts

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

I'm not sure if it's a problem only I have been having, but I've been unable to remove any post from my favorites list for some time now. Attempting to do so only gives me a popup at the top of the screen with the usual "Updating Posts (1 pending)..." which then just fades out and changes nothing, with the favorite button still red/active. I've also attempted to use the "unfavorite" selection and remove them that way, with the same result.

Admittedly this hasn't been too much of an issue since almost all posts i favorite are ones I want favorited, however there have been a handfull of times where my finger slipped and ive accidentally favorited a post i didnt mean to.

I'm curious if you've tried adding it directly with a tag edit.
-set:xxxxx or set:xxxxx can add and remove a post from a set and I use this sometimes on my private sets. Tagging scripts can work with that as well. You can add but not remove a post from your set with the mode setting, but this does both.

Are you sure you're not at your limits for that action? There's a quota warning, usually (@CrocoGator).

I've also seen this issue when the site is wanting you to tell it you're a human.

I figure that trick with sets might work for favorites, as well. I'll have to test it.

Nope, "fav:alphamule" in tag edit didn't work. Oh well.

It seems to occasionally work now, but usually not.

Neat trick! Didn't work though.

The database timed out running your query.

That error message tells us all we need to know. It's taking too long to complete. On a low level, it's just trying to retrieve some data from it's storage, and it's not getting back in time. Hopefully it gets fixed, soon!

There's also a hard 10000-post limit to my sets, from testing. It might vary between account types, as one of the staff made a set with over 100K posts (cub apocalypse).

Unfavoriting works for me, but adding a post to a set seems to be broken.

Having this set problem too

On a related note, whenever I try looking at tickets, it only shows the ones I made.

I am looking into this problem.
Seems like some kind of database issue.

Can you guys confirm that it's still happening for you?

I just added posts to sets 5 times in a row without issue. It seems to be working now.

It's working as intended , or I should say, not working, as intended. ;)

huh, that's too bad. I've found so many great pictures and artists from looking through tickets

It was also a good source of entertainment sometimes

Well, that too. Not sarcasm. "Hmm, what wacky way is someone going to get their 40th alt banned for tonight, Pinky?"
