This new way is the same, a chronologically sorted list of people with recent uploads, only it displays actual photos instead of just a list of text. Plus there are other features.
Why would you want the text only version?
Is this just resistance to change or is there something else I'm missing?

The 'old' way allowed for a very quick and efficient 'one click' method of scanning one's personal list of favorite artists' work. I think the new way is interesting and worthwhile, it just creates more moves to get to the aforementioned result.

1. last-updated timestamp. I could see at a glance which of my favorite artists have had updates since my last use of the favorites page, rather than having to scan the pictures and try to remember which I've seen before. That's especially important when visits are far apart.
2. direct link to the artist's recently-updated page, so that I can see all the albums that have been updated since my last visit, and not just the single most-recently uploaded picture. Now it takes two extra clicks and two extra page loads to get there.... Again, an important feature especially for someone who doesn't look at their favorites every day.
If you add back those two capabilities, I'll switch my opinion of which version is better.

I just create a personal favorite to keep unpublish ones and publish the rest.
I like the idea of cliking on the name of my favorites to get to their favorites. It should make easier to find other photographers with similar interest when more people publish their list.
