MetaTalk

Small, but unlikely pony request: When a user creates a link to an external site, but forgets the "http://", a MeFi error page results. It would be helpful if the system scanned the links in a post and tried to detect these orphaned links.

I inserted a single quote in a post on accident and the MeFi code that normally would be the rest of the page (i.e. all the buttons and such) showed up in my preview textbox.

Bold tag does not close if within an anchored link.

Following a link from mini-wetlog I found a bug where MeTa throws up an error when given a bad link. In this case a quote on the end of the URL:

http://metatalk.metafilter.com/mefi/2418"

It appears the code can be broken.

What's up with the huuuuuge blank space between the Anthrax thread and the Ireland/sunken submarine post?

Is it just me, or are the "Go to the detail view for this result" links on search results not scrolling to the anchor points?

Opera5 shows the "MetaFilter college scholarship" as an off yellow link but it's not clickable. After a quick glance at the HTML it seems Opera doesn't like the negative value, "margin-top:-20px". It looks like there's an unclosed DIV tag around that area too, well, maybe.
