    // still available if you edit the config variables.

    Comments and faves

      Neat!

      But I'm still getting images that I've already faved.

      Oddly though, if I've already faved the photo I'm on, the recommended box never loads at all! Might you have some logic backwards somewhere?

      Thanks. I'll look into it. Was testing on a photo i had faved so not sure what is different in your situation brenda.

      Hmm.. I restarted the browser and now the box is showing on that photo. Maybe there was something preventing the GM from running on that particular page?

      Note that it was showing on the page when I pressed the fave star. Then I went to one of the recommended photos... when I then revisited the first one, the box was missing and no amount of shift-reloading the page could make it come back.

      Sometimes it won't appear because it didn't find any recent favs, and that is expected, but your case sounds different. (on my phone right now)

      I've also noticed that due to it waiting for "onload", sometimes really poorly hosted "bling awards etc" in comments prevent this script from running in a timely fashion.

      Also, the API takes a moment to catch up on your favorites... so it might continue to show "just favorited" photos, but will start ignoring them later (within minutes usually). I'm making a note to add an auto-rotating persistent fav history to attempt to workaround this cache/sync bug. Or I could add my similar "ignore recently seen images" feature and kill that bug in the process.
