Yeah. I keep marking my favorite images, and they keep disappearing... which means I have to find them again. Which sucks. Is anyone else having these problems?
Gallery favorites keep disappearing.

Strange. I vaguely remember someone mentioning this before. I'll look into it.

I would also like to report the disappearance of my Gallery Favorites. I also noticed that Favorites are stored not on the server attached to one's Forum ID, but in a cookie on the user's computer. This seems less than ideal, especially for the "ultra-paranoid" among us who wipe our browsing history and such of "incriminating evidence" on a day to day basis, and the travelers who risk using private computers, far from one's regular home computer. Is it possible to store Favorites on the server instead of in cookies, or would the bandwidth and storage requirements be too high?
EDIT: Oh, and I did find one reason why some people's Favorites are disappearing. If you favorite a picture, you are taken to a page that says "Favorite Added" and then are sent back to the picture. At this point, the "Favorite Added" page becomes a "Favorite Removed" page, so if you try to use the back button to return to the Gallery you came from, you will see the "Favorite Removed" page and remove your new Favorite picture from your Favorite Gallery.
EDIT 2: My Favorites are now back for some unexplained reason. Oh, well.

And now they are gone again.
Kane, could you explain how the favorites section is supposed to work? Database tied to forum name? Cookies? Database tied to IP address? What?
I've had that happen before too. I was going it to mention (or if I already did?).
