Error Diagnostic Information
Just in time compilation error

Invalid end tag on line 300 at position 84. ColdFusion was looking at the following text:


The likely cause of the problem is the presence of an end tag without a corresponding start tagInvalid expression element. The usual cause of this error is a misspelling in the expression text.
The last successfully parsed CFML construct was dynamic text (a CFML expression) occupying document position (300:42) to (300:64).

The specific sequence of files included or processed is:
C:\metafilter sites\www.metafilter.com\index.mefi

Dad...um...I went drinking last night and I sorta -- well, I wrecked the MetaFilter.

is there a quantifiable reason for the increase in traffic over the last couple of days? ie a mainstream article linking to mefi? or is it just people back in the office after the holidays and not doing work again?

I fixed it.

I wish I could figure out the traffic source too.

Matt, for a while, the weird preemie doll site was bouncing people right back to the Metafilter front page they came from. (It doesn't seem to be now.) Would that be enough to account for the symptoms?

I haven't done any work since I signed up for MeFi months ago. So...it's not me.
