When I load the front page, I can't see all these posts here. Greasemonkey is listing them as deleted, yet I can comment in them.Furthermore, it seems to be random, since some newer FPPs are visible.

We're having some strange caching issues right now. They're not deleted, but for some reason they're not showing up on the front page. We've been working on it for the past 10-15 minutes, trying to figure out why.

The closed MetaTalk thread on the same subject immediately preceding this one is also behaving strangely... first it was closed, then it wasn't. Same thing happened to this one.

Looks like you guys are already on the case. Thanks! I was just coming in here to post about the same issue, regarding post 79134.

Cortex! Step away from the bottle!

I think the open/closed thing is just us trying to pick one thread to stick with all at the same time.

Ugh, still having the problem. If you reload the front page of MeFi, you get different threads coming and going. It's really strange, never seen anything like it before.

Stop trying to come between me and the bottle, SLDT. You were always jealous of our special relationship.

Comic relief for some mods having a bad day at the office.

I'm actually jealous of your spatial relationship to the bottle.

As long as we're not accidentally seeing any hardcore taters, we'll be okay.

I think I see what the problem is: that's a Klein bottle cortex is drinking from.

Seems rather specious.

Looks like everything is back. Everything but my bottle.

Ok, problem fixed now.

speaking of issues... is there an off-site mirror for the status blog I can bookmark for when the site goes down and i'd like to keep informed?

The status blog isn't hosted on this server. So just bookmark status.metafilter.com to reach it.
