Time Zones and Cookies

April 10, 2004 6:28 AM

Nearly a year and a half ago, number 1 gave us customizable time zones for Metafilter. I love it. I have innumerable cookie issues regarding resetting it all the time. But, that's not what I'm complaining about. (I'm not really complaining, either, just making a point, I guess..) In his original post, mathowie said, "MetaTalk, I'll eventually get to." As far as I can tell, it hasn't been gotten to yet. A quick search of Metatalk threads hasn't yielded results and I can't get the time zone to change even with a cookie reset. In addition, since AskMeFi is a subsection or something of MeTa, perhaps I could remind our fearless leader that that could be done as a part of the planned, future, wonderful AskMe upgrade. Just a thought.

oh, speaking of ponies: can we also have it so that any links in AskMe and MeTa open automatically in new windows like they do in MeFi? : >

How about automatically opening windows in new tabs. Pony and the horse.

Cmd-click.

Cmd-click is too much work, especially since I don't have to do it in the blue. ; >

Why would anyone want a goddamn, mother fucking pony? That phrase infuriates me to no goddamn, mother fucking end!!!!

I'd rather have a robot that is incapable of moderating the tone or volume of its voice

I'm thinking like the one that sings folk music in season three of Futurama

Only if it fails to modulate the tone and volume of its whinny.

Why not just move to the west coast of the US?

Actually, I find that having MetaTalk in "MeFi-Time" is useful for knowing what time it is in the less-advanced parts of the world, especially when it is Monday here and Sunday "over there" - it reminds me why things are so quiet here on Mondays.
