It seems it automatically goes to the next page (and scrolls about 1/3 down the page) once I scroll to the bottom? And there's no way to go back to the previous page?

Some usability issues, but overall a nice idea. I like the chronological sorting.

Yeah . . . I'm wondering how best to fix that. The problem with rendering iFrames is that once you hit 100, it gets CPU intensive and laggy, so I decided to delete older items under the assumption that the user was done with them. Thus, by limiting it to 50 items onscreen at once, it increases performance. Maybe pagination would have been better, I just didn't want to force users to click more than they had to.

I have 45 items. When I get to the bottom, it blanks all the items, and displays "finished loading items" twice. If I log out then log back in it displays my list of likes again .. until I scroll to the bottom.
