We've got a new stylesheet, and one on the way for MeTa. So, are there any plans to apply user preferences to MetaTalk?

From the thread where this feature was announced:

mathowie: I'll build this feature into metatalk soon.

Great idea, with the usual disclaimers of not creating too much work for mathowie etc. A related pony-request is that I would like to see the same search functionality in MetaTalk as MetaFilter.

I really meant stuff like underlined/non links, and links opening in a new window, etc. Sorry for the confusion.

Funnily enough, I think there's something sacrilegious about tinkering with MeTa. It's not supposed to be fun. In fact, most of us are not really supposed to be here at all. ;)

Yelling at nothing, that is already supported.

Log out (which has some problems, sorry, need to fix that too, you can also try deleting all metafilter cookies (including the metatalk cookies)) and log back in to see your custom options "take" here.

Yeah, well don't let the door hit you in the arse on your way out, will you MiguelCardoso? ;-)

Joking, I was.
