MeFi iPhone icon unavailable?
Anyone else unable to add a custom MeFi icon webclip to their iPhone home screen? I just get a snapshot of the page, instead of the nice blue MF logo (which was working for me earlier this year.) Other sites with this functionality are working fine. Tech Specs: first gen iPhone, OS 2.0, unlocked and jailbroken.
Georgia update
Because for some reason I can't sign into metafilter's main page, I thought I'd give a brief update on the situation in this thread here. [more inside]
Spelunking for doubles
"Your comment appears to be blank, go back and try again."
I'm trying to post in this thread... I can preview, but when I try to post I just get "Your comment appears to be blank, go back and try again."... and I'm pretty sure my comment is not blank...
Missing timestamp
When logged out, posts to Music and The Blue lack the timestamp inside.
cleanup requested on smart quotes
The PIRG post might be fantastic, or it might be crap. It might be the best post of the month, or just pure drivel. I can't tell. Any chance an admin could go in and clean up the smart quotes issue?
"Best of" link borked?
FYI, the "Best of" link is a little borked. I'm seeing no winners for Aug 10th, and two winners for Aug 9th, with a ton of runners up on the 9th.
LoFi has extra links!
Why does this post have an extra link in LoFi but not on the blue?
It looks like the missing link is the whole point of the post.

Why is Metafilter "taking a massage" in Firefox?
Why is Metafilter "taking a massage" when I try to view the page on Firefox, but works perfectly fine when I view it in Internet Explorer? I should add that before this morning, Metafilter always worked fine in Firefox. And, despite MeFi's problems, AskMe and MeTa are working fine in Firefox right now.
Runaway italics.
"Mozilla not fit for general use"
Does the "Mozilla not fit for general use" FPP count as a self-link? It only calls out a single bug, which the author has commented on several times. For that matter, I don't think a layout bug is usually worthy of a FPP.
Search Metafiler bug
Found a bug in Search Metafilter that could be rather painful for both the server and the client. [mi]
Open tag.
no login no blue
this happened once before - the blue won't load up unless i'm logged in (both IE and Moz) grey and green are fine logged in or not. I can login via ask. or metatalk. then the blue appears.
Bug in the timestamps in MeFi tabs.
When I view the front page in a mode other than "date" (ie "most comments", etc), the times in GMT are out by 8 hours.
Thousands of unviewed links? That can't be!
Is it just me? The bluepage seems to think I have thousands of unviewed links while here in the grey it lists two. As addicted as I am to this place, I know SOMETHING is wrong...
MF hanging Safari
Has anyone noticed a problem with MF and Safari >=0.67? These are the builds with tabs; 0.73, the first public release, went into open beta today. I often find that the MF home page will hang Safari until it's done (spinning cursor, can't scroll, can't leave the page early, no interaction at all.) This doesn't seem to happen with the lofi page (or anywhere else).
I can no longer Post to Metafilter in IE5.1 or Mozilla (Mac 9.2)
I can no longer Post to Metafilter in IE5.1 or Mozilla (Mac 9.2). But I can here. Why?
Weird Mefi bug
Most weird thing I've seen on Metafilter in a while. I got this
-1073741819 (0xc0000005)
When I hit the home page. More suspicous - I had just read the Dick Cheney thread.

MeFi & MeTa thread pages 404 when logged in
IfI try to read any thread on MetaFilter or MetaTalk and I'm logged in, I get 404, yo. If I'm not logged in, I can read the threads. I've tried logging out and logging back in, and I deleted my MetaCookies.
Chronological view issues
I'm using IE5 on a Win 98 machine, and when I finish reading a thread and hit backspace to return to the front page, I'm plopped back in time to November 17, rather than the top of the thread (I view chronologically). I deleted all my Temporary Internet files, which I thought would fix it, but it's still happening. Ideas?
Mefi member count discrepancy
Someting simple, actually (I hope). On the front page of MeFi, if you're not logged in, the member count is 9342. When you're logged in the member count is 9075.
