Just how Random is Random?
When I click "Random" to generate a random AskMe question, I'm constantly taken to this question about DVD commentary tracks. Why would this be the case? I probably hit it once every few days? It seems statistically unlikely with a random generator? [more inside]
Ajax was a horse, and horses are like ponies, right?
Suggestion for the process of completing an Ask question with 'Mark as Resolved'. [more inside]
Ask question re: disability, accommodation and Massachusetts?
Within the last week or so someone posted on Askme needing disability/accommodation referrals/support in Massachusetts. [more inside]
Kind of like TellMetaFilter but with a question mark at the end
Are there examples of someone using AskMeFi a question that they already know the answer to? [more inside]
Spaces are for sissies!
Awesome things that one should break the bank on
I have a question for AskMe but I feel like I've read something similar at some point on Ask in the past and am at a complete loss in terms of locating it. [more inside]
What are some of AskMe's fastest, most amazing success stories?
The sidebar (see Apr 12) featured this post, in which someone's seemingly obscure question was answered in just six minutes. I think MY experience was even more amazing (as my question was more obscure), though it did take Gator an hour and ten minutes to cough up an answer. What are some other AskMe Astounding Stories of Snappy Answers to Obscure Questions?
Meet me at the drinking post.
I swear we've seen these Askme questions dozens of times before, but I can't find them. I'm looking for those posts about not being able to drink and how to cope with it. [more inside]
More than one new question?
On the green, where it would normally say "New Question", I'm getting "New Question (0)". Feature? Bug? Indication of something I didn't know about the site?
What was the shortest AskMe question without [more inside]?

What's the fake radar website?
Find-that-Question: A while ago there was a question about a website/application that would throw all sorts of cool little radar screens and such up on the screen. I think it ultimately was used to make a background in a news conference? I'm not sure. But can anyone find it? I'm tried searching for all combinations (wha? "combinations" isn't in the FF 3.5 dictionary) of computer, screen, movie, radar, and website. Help :/
What if it was real?
This question was deleted (and we all figured it would be), but I'm curious: What if it was for real? Did the mods contact the asker? Did he confess to it being a joke? If he said it was a joke, did you believe him? What if he really does have a dead body in his apartment? Do we just say "Oh well" or do the mods try to contact the authorities?
Just curious...
You'll never answer this!!1!
Here is a great question that didn't get resolved because it wasn't the right answer the questioner wanted.
What are taters doing in AskMe
Ok, what's the deal with the term "tater"? (NSFW) [more inside]
FTW!
My hat is forever off to Nanojath for his amazing answer to my now-resolved question from December. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, you are the king of google-fu. [more inside]
Ask-A-Rama
Please Sir, could we have a free-for-all, ask-any-dumb-question-you-like thread? [more inside]
Can You Repeat The Question?
Bloop, Beep, Doooo
I seem to remember an AskMe post regarding the bell-like, bubble-ish synth noises that Radiohead (and others) coax from their machinery, and how to replicate them, but i cant find the post using my limited google/AskMe-fu. Anyone remember this and can point me in the general direction?
It's not a question if your voice doesn't go up at the end
Do AskMe posts that don't contain a question on the front page annoy everyone else? Should the relevant text on the "Ask a new question page" be more prominent?
AskMeFi RSS feed
AskMeFi RSS feed: Could use some sort of delineation between the question text and the More Inside text.
Little yellow check mark
Why does this thread have a little yellow check mark by it on the main askme page, yet none of the answers are marked as best?
I can't access my question.
i am having trouble accessing my blog on the ask mefi thread i started earlier. for some reason i can access all other parts of mefi, but not that thread (http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/47579). its over the idiot roommate who has an internet girlfriend from alaska. i just want to let people know i created a blog about it since many wanted to be updated.

Link new question page to wiki?
On the ask.mefi "post a new question page," can we get a link to the What makes a good question wiki page?
what's the policy for/function of an anon question?
what's the policy for/function of an anon question? i've been using metafilter for awhile, but have never used it. since isaw about seven anon questions in a row, i'm curious: how long do they usually get to take approved? as i understand it, they are hand-screened? so, is it a few days...a week? and, do they count towards your question of the week (they have to, it would be too easily abusable, i guess...just one of the sentences in the explanation seems to mean that).
sorry for the confusion -_- just one of those things i never quite got around to figuring out.

One should be allowed to ask questions more often
What's with the one question per week? I am an active Ask.Mefi user and often have many questions (to the tune of 2-3 per week) that get awesome responses. Anyone know of comparable places to ask on a wide variety of subjects?
One question a week
Does anyone else think that Ask Metafilter would be improved if people could only ask one question per week? There are no 'bad' questions, and I love the site, but maybe it would be better if people saved up their questions for really good stuff, rather then just asking a question of the moment. The down side is that some off the cuff questions are the best, they mirror the way the mind thinks while on the web...
