unanswered self questions

fogster — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:44:00 -0800

If you reply to your own comment in Ask MeFi, and no one else has replied yet, it no longer shows up on the Unanswered Questions page. This is obviously not a big deal either way, and some will probably argue that it should work this way. However, it seems to me that when someone replies to their own question, they're almost always adding information / clarification, not answering their own question. So I'd think that the ideal functionality of the "Unanswered" tab should be a list of questions that haven't received replies from anyone except the author. So again, no big deal either way, but I wonder if others agree with my thinking and, if so, whether we could have this pony?

Halp, my tabs has gone

subbes — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:11:39 -0800

I used to see the links to "* Recent Posts/* My Favorites/* Popular Favorites/* My Comments/* Recent Comments" as tabs on the front page (like this example from MeTa). Now they look like this. Technicals: FF 3.0.1 on OS X NoScript blocking FMPub/Google Analytics (but MF itself is trusted) GreaseMonkey (MefiQuote, Mondo Meta, MetaFilter Scroll Tag). Refreshing with GM turned off doesn't change it. The tabs show correctly on Safari, on Opera and also on my iPhone. Possibly related, I tried looking at http://styles.metafilter.com/mefi/tabs-mefi.css and it's nothing but garbage in FF?

Bug: contributions by userx that were saved as favorites

madamjujujive — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 18:57:45 -0800

Problems on "contributions by userx that were saved as favorites by other members" pages: example
1) New favorites (such as today's) are not being added to this page.
2) Clicking on "next page" just reloads the same page even though the url lists it as page 2. Page progression is fubared.

Bloglines + AskMe = feed error

Is anyone else having an AskMe feed error in bloglines?

Fix the footer?

dobbs — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 16:49:06 -0800

The red footer on Projects rides too high on projects that have a few votes (obscuring the names of the voters). Example of my own projects page. I'm on Safari. Let me know if you need a screengrab.

The missing link

Ogre Lawless — Fri, 04 Nov 2005 15:04:51 -0800

From the very "Post a new thread" link hovering above these very words:

Note: if posting about general weblog-related items, please post to Blogroots.com instead.

New user message appears in error

veruca — Thu, 09 Nov 2000 09:25:12 -0800

I've been a user for many months and posted many links and comments (54 and 75, to be exact). However, when I try to post a new link, I get the new user message that I can't post main page links yet. What's up with that?

"Connection failure members" bug

Avogadro — Thu, 02 Nov 2000 05:01:34 -0800

Hullo Matt, we have a minor bug:

When I load MeFi, instead of being told how many members there are, I instead get: "Connection failure members".

Is this an M2K bug? :-)
