[Bug] OCs with favs disabled can still be faved

The title may not make much sense, but please bear with me.

So,there's a weird glitch that affects characters that have favs disabled, but it only seems to occur on characters that already had favourites before the owner decided to turn them off.

If your character had any favourites before you disabled them, it's still possible for them to receive new favourites because even though the main favourite button on their profile page is hidden, the star symbol that represents the favs stat under your characters' icon is still a functioning fav button that doesn't get hidden/disabled like the main one on the profile.

This is definitely an oversight that should be looked into, it left me feeling confused, made me second guess myself and double check my character's advanced profile settings on more than one occasion to make sure I did actually disable favourites on those particular characters. I'm sure this glitch has caused a lot of confusion for many other users as well.

It looks like the only away around this glitch right now (if you don't want to set your characters to private) is to remove all the favs from that character's profile, but that's probably not ideal if you care about preserving the existing favs, have too many favs to remove or feel bad about removing them.


Also, as mentioned in the comments below, some users seem to be having issues with underaged users being able to fav their 18+ restricted characters. If this isn't down to a case of younger users lying about their age, then that should be looked into as well.

This is pretty annoying, especially on characters I forgot to lock the favourites on at first.

+1 Adding onto this, 18+ characters can be faved by minors too......ToyHouse needs to figure out the faving issuesÂ
