Pixel Joint Forum: make the favorite button stop redirecting users

Message

   This website has a lot of good art, and I'd like to be able to favorite things without leaving the page I'm currently on so I can continue to browse and look at cool stuff.

Instead, whenever I see cool art and decide to favorite it, I get redirected to my profile. I end up leaving this site 90% of the time because I can't browse it like a normal site, which is really frustrating.

I feel like I have to choose either having the ability favorite art and be able to look at it later, or actually enjoying my time browsing this site.

I'm sure many other people would agree with me, and it would be nice if the people running this site could add the option to turn off being redirected or just remove that feature altogether.

If you agree with me, please voice your opinion so we can get this fixed!

*Edit: It would also be nice if you could see whether or not you've favorited a piece on the page for that piece, but I mostly just care about being redirected

	Hey Mashpoe, I feel the same way, but this is an older site and it's solely up to Sedgemonkey to maintain it (for all I know.). However, there is a very easy workaround to this. Just right click on the art in question while still in the feed, click Open In New Tab (I'm using Firefox, your browser should have an equivalent.) and then favorite it and click that page off. If that's too much then practice using the Open in new tab hotkey. Your completely right though, it's just too small of a feature to justify the downtime spent working on it, I think.
