just finished converting the favorites list from the old way to the new way which stores your favorites as a Usergroup.
the old favorites interface is still the same, but now if you go to
http://www.pbase.com/usergroup you'll see you have a group called **favorites
any **groups will be for special purposes like favorites.
another i can think of right now is a **blacklist group where you could maintain a list of users that could be blocked from things like commenting on your galleries.
more importantly, the favorites page should be very fast now even if you have hundreds.
by default all **favorites groups are marked non-public. although there's no way yet to actually view somebody else's public usergroup, there will be, so if you would like your list available, you could set the public_flag and update the group.
later on i would like to add a Shared option to usergroups which would mean other people could use your usergroup without actually having to copy it.
this would be useful for cases where one person maintains a list of members to some club, and other people could use that list to give grant access to one of their own galleries.
then if the maintainer of the list added new members, the other users of the list wouldn't have to update anything to give the new members access.
