When a photo or photographer is added to the favourites list,

'Success: 'xxx' has been added to your favourites list' appears on the screen.

To me, this is a bit silly. I always get the feeling that some hurdle has been overcome, that there was an element of danger, or possible failure.

Maybe the process is more risky than you realize. ;)

It's just "feedback" telling you that it suceeded. Would you rather just have the Home page appear with no indication that anything was done? :p

I'd like something like, 'Image xxx has been added to your favourites list', without the oddly-named 'Success'. That's all. Simple.

Sorry, I just don't agree. I love that "silly" feature, and ALWAYS feel proud that I was able to overcome all the hurdles involved! ; )

Indeed, "Success:" can be a real pick-me-up to a bad day. You really do feel like you have accomplished something. Personally, I really don't think it's that silly and I actually kinda like it.

It's better than the constant drum of this message for a year and a half:

Failure: No WMD's have been found. You're a miserable failure!
