Topic: Many favorites and I don't fav things

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

I have nearly 500 favorites, and that's not the sort of thing I do on any site. Did I accidentally favorite a pool somehow, or should I be concerned about my password or something?

are they posts you've viewed previously?

although I can't really imagine how you'd accidentally favorite nearly 500 posts without realizing, even if the account is like 6 years old.

Uhh, change your password, and log out after using the site if you share a PC with someone... (though if they're all posts you've viewed before, I guess that's less concerning, but still mysterious...)

There's no feature to mass favorite things. You have to favorite things one at a time by either A) Clicking the favorite button on a post B) Pressing the F key while viewing a post C) Setting the Mode (under the search bar) to "Favorite" on a search result page, then clicking the thumbnail for each post you want to favorite.

Not victim blaming but aren't you sure activated by mistake the feature that make "one-click" to fav things?

Still it's a good idea to change your password.

I mean, even if this person had done, they'd've had to click like six whole pages-worth of posts to get that many.
