Topic: I faved some pics twice because of my mouse.

Posted under General

My mouse is messing up, so I'm getting a new one. But in the mean time, for the last month or two, I've noticed I've been double-clicking on accident pretty often. The only fix for now is to hold in my clicks longer.

But as you might be able to tell from my favorites, I've managed to favorite a few pictures twice because of it somehow. I'm even on the faved-by lists twice.

I'm beside myself.

Example: post #718683 's faves.

Oh, double-clicking what causes that? I was wondering...
Anyways, you can fix that by clicking -Favorite.

I had a fucky mouse for a while that did the same thing, really small window of time for it to happen but it happened to me 3 or so times. IIRC a while back they rolled out something that fixed that as I remember having trouble trying to correct it manually.

You can fix it by unfaving and then faving the posts again. If you can't find the red "-Favorite" button, you can go to your faves, change the Mode drop-down to "Remove from favorites" and click the post(s) in question.

Remember to change it back to "View" so you don't unfave other posts

fucky

Yeah, I don't think that works as well as "shitty".

That happened to me one time.

It was probably a glitch in the matrix.

-Favorite doesn't always show up for me, is there another solution, in case I ever get this repeat problem?

Yep.
Do any search that will result in the picture you double-favorited. You could just search for the posts id number (for example, your avatar would be id:670481). Under the search bar you will see a drop-down box set to "View Posts". Change that to "Remove from favorites" and click on the picture. Remember to change the mode back to "View Posts" afterwards.
