It's really distracting and takes away from showcasing my work. I think a feature like this would be best displayed further down the page next to the statistics/ below my submissions. Is there a way to move the favorites down?
There's a lot of similar placement issues on this site that I've seen - such as huge inconsistencies between the Messages pages. For instance, the Submissions page, it goes (left to right) Remove Selected, Invert Selection, and Remove All Notifications. But I think on the Notifications page, I forget the placement but I believe it's inverted from the Submissions page. Also, the Remove All button is bolded and red, but that's the same as FA's "Nuke" button, which -generally- isn't what you're looking for ^^;
