Help finding this now-offline piece?
I hope this is okay to ask - I'd love to find the piece from this excellent thread from the blue (Kate Good talks about her husband's surgery for The Toast's series about trans* matters). It was an excellent piece about love and trans* matters but also about just doing the things you can because that's what you do. The toast is gone and I'm having trouble even Googling the author to see if they have other works I could check out, or have published this piece elsewhere. Thank you in advance for any tips!
Skip to Menu My Darlin'
After I updated my iPhone to iOS4, the "skip to menu" link at the top of the pages of the mobile site no longer works after a page has been reloaded. [more inside]
If you give a grouse a cookie
In December, OmieWise posted a fantastic link to Gourmet Magazine's Favorite Cookies 1941–2008. Most of the pages for earlier years' recipes are now gone. Gourmet isn't writing back. Anyone have the presence of mind to save some of these? [more inside]

Mefi Photos broken?
Recent Photos From All broken for me. I get an instant "connection timeout" and no pictures. Is it just me? I love that page! Make it come back. [more inside]
Going once... Going twice... Going three times
A follow up on this post. I saw there were a few members that had sailed on SS France / SS Norway / SS Blue Lady and thought they might want to grab a souvenir. [more inside]
FSI Languages Site Question
I'd rather not clutter up nickyskye's Mango post with this question, but I've noticed that the FSI Language Course site Vacapinta mentioned in the thread (here, previously) is inaccessible. Does anyone know if the site is down for good? [more inside]
Markovfilter
Cortex restarted genefilter. It's in beta but still good. Forgive me if this has already been mentioned.
mathowie's community tips
mathowie: Some Community Tips for 2007. Metameta, yeah, but I thought it was worth linking for those who haven't seen it, for some insight into how Matt tries to run the place.
April Fools!
We have box sets.
We have box sets. Slashdot has the goods on Amazon trying to give flashbacks to MetaFilter with their new and improved pricing shenanigans in which they deliver two box sets to lots of people for the price of zero, wait a five days (crossing over Christmas in the process), and then demand that people return them unopened. Now they've begun charging people's credit cards for what Amazon decides they should have paid.
Deleted post blog
By semi-popular request, I present to you: Metafilter: The Deleted.
Knife fight with bear post
Whoa, Matt makes a logo.

Link tweaking: is a redux to supplant dead links justified, or should the links just be tweaked?
previously on mefl here, but the content is old and that link dead so I thought it was worth another post.
As meehawl points out, we've discussed Aphex Twin infinitely. If an old link breaks, is it best to send a message to jessahowie to update it, rather than dredging it back up on the front page?

Hufu thread hijacks
Remember the hufu thread where some of the links went to Microsoft for no good reason? Well it seems there's a reason why. [more inside]
Do-over
Can we get a redo? mickeyz just screwed up his post and put the body text where the title was supposed to go. Instead of deleting it outright, can one of our benevolent overlords repair it and put it back? It's a legitimate FPP, otherwise.
Mefi Status Blog problem
Mefi Status Blog problem: the link on the sidebar takes you to a TypePad error page.
There's a metafilter tag at consumating (dating site)...
Huh, there's a metafilter tag at consumating (dating site). I'm apparently 10th most popular and I only logged in once. C'mon people, you can do better than me.
Project Memory Wiki
I run a project called MemoryWiki that collects and archives personal memories. I was wondering if I could repost some short memoirs from MetaFilter, namely, those on "life changing experiences" found here here. I will of course include a note on every memoir I repost stating that the source is Metafilter (and I'll include a hyperlink). MemoryWiki is non-profit (it's really just a hobby). Is this kosher? Thanks.
Broken links in the Asymmetric aircraft thread
The first two links in this thread don't work. One is a geocities page that has exceeded its bandwidth, the other just never loads for me. Hoping to get alternates - I like the post.
Broken links can happen to anyone.
Can someone explain to me why the link in this comment on Ask.Me take me to microsoft.com?
Experts warn of "Peak Pony"
Please fix photo album link for New Orleans photo essay post linked in sidebar
The links in the New Orleans Photo Essay post, linked in the sidebar, don't work anymore. Can the post be edited with a new URL for the photo album? If not, should the link be removed from the sidebar?

Spoonfed used to host a metatalk parody that's gone now
metatalk parody. no comment from me, i'll leave that to everyone else.
Looking for another source for a broken link
Trying to find a copy of the video of the insecure/incompetent (student) weatherman from this thread. It's dead (and I searched thru many pages of compfused). Anyone got a copy/link?
A, B or C-list bloggers
If you ever wondered what an A, B or C-list blogger is, here's you're opportunity to learn. Our friend, Matt, is apparently an A.

Introducing COMA. (You're soaking in it.)
Ask Me Anoymous
With all the recent talk of Anonymous Questions on AskMe, I thought I'd learn me some php, and create a supplementary website where people can pose anonymous questions to be asked on AskMe by the more brazen metafilter members. I guess that this falls under the "Don't self link" rule, so I hope you'll forgive the intrusion.

Mefi related thread...
(Sillyfilter) This I Love Music thread is kinda Metafilter-related.
So I decided to build it myself...(and then it died)
FineIllGetMyOwnDamnPonyFilter - A couple days ago I became cranky that AskMe didn't have several features I felt were vital to making it work right - A keyword/topic search, categories, an area to summarize the answers, a way for the poster to sum things up, a moderation system so that quality rises to the top, a way to find if my question has already been asked, etc. I'm sure Matt will build this stuff eventually, or not. So I decided to build it myself. [more inside]
Is anyone planning on attending SENT tomorrow at The Standard?
Sorry in advance.
Is anyone planning on attending SENT tomorrow at The Standard? I'm curious to know who all might be going.

Is Mefi talking to Kinja?
Is Mefi talking to Kinja? I just checked my Kinja feed page and it hasn't been updated much, but I visited the blue and ten new threads have appeared. Is it because Kinja isn't updating properly or something else?
Sick Nick cartoon blog
One would think that sicknick.org would be the ideal link for MeFi. Nikahang Kowsar isn't quite mainstream, so a lot of people haven't seen his stuff before. His stuff is very interesting, and should warrant discussion. AND YET...! [more]
Link with Coldfusion Error
This link gives a ColdFusion error. Other archived ones around it don't.
We have been praised for 'strikingly literate commentary'
Metafilter spotting. I was slow to post this, thinking someone would ahve already picked it up.. while I like the props for 'strikingly literate commentary', the representative link is not *really* representative. (In my opinion)...
Metafilter Census
The results of Steve_at_Linnwood's small-sample MeFi census are online. Of more amusement value than scientific, of course. I thought this chart was particularly interesting in its lack of a middle ground.
Metafilter Remixed seems to be down.
Metafilter Remixed seems to be down now. What did we learn from this experiment?http://webmutant.com/mefi/remixed.cgi
web design tool
I couldn't find a link to this anywhere, and I think it's a great tool, if, like me, you are crap at web design (in the limited sense of making all the pretty colours harmonize) but still like to fiddle around a bit with it. Hope you find it useful.
Matt Haughey arrested!
The December 2001 archive has a bad link to the DWW Aids Page
The December 2001 archive has a bad link to the DWW Aids Page - it points to 2000, not 2001. Could someone fix it?
Long-broken link
This and many other corny 
Commenters Try to Fix Broken Link in FPP
This is interesting. Postroad's post had a bad link and other members went searching for an appropriate link. And finally they did find one which seems to fit perfectly(Good work, Tubes and Real9!)
I had a link too, but hesitated, as I didn't know whether this would be intruding on Postroad's post. How could I tell it was my link he was thinking of? Is it ethical or just Darwinian to provide a FPP's missing link?
So - is it right to "find a link" by proxy, based on a post's wording? (FWIW, I think it's acceptable, but strange).
We all know people who post to the FP should check that their links work. But shouldn't they also hang around for an hour or so to see if any there are any solvable problems?

I wanted to know which Mefi user I really am!
