spellcheck's giving me an error message too: Error processing CFX custom tag "CFX_JSpellCheck".

I've fixed it.

While we're at it, I'm getting errors when I try to click on MeTa categories.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say:

THANKS MATT!

If we ever have another PDX meetup I'll definitely buy you a beer.

(As an aside, thank you for the "thread closed" notation on the main metatalk page. *offers milk and cookies for all the efforts*)

not sure where the current thread is for bugs, and suspect you're already aware of this (so don't want to start another), but i'm getting "empty" pages quite frequently. click on a link, nothing happens for a while, then firefox says the page is empty. click again and it works. no error message.

1. I get the same (occasional) empty page issue as andrew cooke.

2. Lofi returns a coldfusion error if you not logged in.

That is all. Return to reguarly scheduled programming.

Ooops, this is off the front page. Hmm, if nobody is in a forest and a tree falls . . .
