Cluttered-Up Favorites? What if...

You might think, woah, wall of words! and run away, but trust me on this one, you want to read on.

Intro
We had the ability to organize our favorites? If you're someone like me, with about a million favorites, but only with real access to get to the ones on your first couple pages. Whenever I try to find a project I want to see, but favorited, like, a year ago, (not an exaggeration  tongue ,) I have to sort through about twenty pages of favorited projects to find it. I don't know about anybody else, but to me it's a pain it the butt! That's where I came up with this idea: organizing your favorites!

Main Idea
It would be simple: You would start out with one tab for your favorites called something like "Unsorted" or "General". All of the projects that you favorite appear there when you favorite them. There would be a button that looked like a + sign next too the word "Favorites" on your page. If you clicked this, it would take you to a page where you could create your own tab, and name it. Then, you could sort your favorites under the different tabs.

Sorting
Sorting your projects under tabs would be simple and easy to understand. You know how under each project that you favorite there is a tick box? And if you click the button remove selected favorites, you delete the projects from your list? Well, this would be something like that. Next to the REMOVE SELECTED FAVORITES button, there would be a button for moving selected favorites to new tabs. When you click on it, a list of your tabs would be brought up, and you could select a tab to move your project too. You could have any types of tabs you want, like tabs for animations, games, or even tabs for projects from your favorite scratcher!

Fun Facts And Supporters
You would be able to keep 10 tabs at a time. If you wanted to remove a tab, all you have to do is click the small x next to the name of the tab, and click 'yes' on a conformation message that would pop up. Sound good?

Tell me what you think! I would be happy to make changes, depending on what Scratchers think and say!

I like the current favorite system.

And if you want to mark a project to remember it, you can create a gallery to add the project(s) to.

Re: Cluttered-Up Favorites? What if...

Maybe a button that says "sort by" and it would have a dropdown menu of ways to organize, like "date added", "date shared", and "alphabetical".

Re: Cluttered-Up Favorites? What if...

Maybe a way to search through your favourites? So you can type keywords like "game" or "3d" and it'll look for those in your favourites list.

You could probably use galleries to "sort" the projects you have favourited as well.

Just a couple of thoughts.  smile
