Over-active Activity
I was digging through my "Activity" and discovered that, in Safari, clicking on "Older" or "Newer" opened the next page in a new window. Clicking "Older" or "Newer" in that window opens yet another new window. And so on...
Weirdly, clicking on "Older" or "Newer" in Firefox opens the pages in new tabs. Repeatedly.
Can't add a contact
I'm trying to add someone as a contact, but when I hit the "Add Contact" button I get a white screen that says "Wrong username and password, please try again."
What gives?
"Flag it and move on!" "I can't!" "The override, where's the override?!?!?"
Problem A: A Metafilter Jobs post breaks the guidelines, IMO.
Problem B: I get a Cold Fusion error when flagging it as breaking the guidelines.
More white space!
There's something odd about the MetaFilter home page. A huge blank space next to the sidebar, between the date and the first post.
Well, this is probably a bug...
Firefox & AskMe problem
I can't post on AskMe - on the preview page, hitting Post just reloads the preview page. Firefox 2.0.0.1. Not seeing any error messages either.
bug: can't submit an AskMe question
bug: can't submit an AskMe question. The final "post" button just reloads the page, like the "preview" button. Firefox 2.0.0.1.
Broken RSS Feeds
It appears that the RSS feeds are down. Obviously I can still get to the rest of the site, but Firefox's Live Bookmark feature is coming up with "Blank" instead. Other bookmarks are correctly updating. When I try to browse to the correct location, I time out. Started around noonish today, EST, I think. Before I wiped away my MetaFilter list by requesting the bookmark, the most recent story was the one about Ellen Feiss. I know this is happening to MeTa, MeFi, and AskMe.
Another favorites bug.

Missing MeTa
I have never seen a completely disappeared MeTa post before today. Given what passes for normal on MetaTalk, I fear that there must have been a truly unspeakable horror contained within it to merit this special handling. Do I walk on dangerous ground, merely speaking that post's name? If so, I take it all back, I saw nothing, there never was a thread 1347... what was that number again? I forget now.

Favorites Page
Favorited comments not appearing on Favorites page. Ambrosia favorited this comment of mine, but it does not appear on my Favorites page. (It does appear on her favorites page.) Not sure if it's affecting the total favorites count.
Are there limits for jobs.mefi?
Are there posting frequency limitations for jobs.mefi? I have two positions that just opened up, but when I click "Post" on the second one, it brings me back to the preview screen with no error message. I'm guessing it's because I justed posted one - how long do I need to wait before posting the other?
Clicking the login link from Ask leads to 403 Forbidden.

Coldfusion Errors
ColdFusion fun: 1.0000000000000002 must be within range: (-1 : 1)
Comment display error
Am I the only one who sees wierd-crazy badness under this comment in the Peter Boyle RIP post in the blue?
Backwards comments page
Saved Favorites Bug
this comment was marked as a favorite but does not appear on the saved favorites page, which is apparently still broken.
Bad Tags
Looks like you're trying to delete tags fromto the wrong post. Go .
Someone added the tags "penis" and "vagina" to this post. I'm unable to remove them.

AskMe RSS Problem
For some reason the Ask Metafilter RSS feed quit working for me a few days ago. I'm reading it through Bloglines and the last post which shows up is from November 22, 2006 at 6:54am. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Bug: contributions by userx that were saved as favorites
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.

AskMe RSS Bug?
Er, is there a problem with the AskMe RSS feed? I haven't gotten anything in at least two days, despite MeFi and MeTa feeds working fine.
I'm viewing in Google Reader, if that matters.

Profile Changes Borked MeFi
Early Sunday morning I made two minor changes to my user page (added my new blog's address, changed the text in the location line), and when I saved the changes and viewed my user page again, it and every other page of MeFi suddenly appeared as white with black text. And so it has remained. If I delete cookies and log out, I see it in blue, grey and green, but not otherwise. Why has this happened and how can I fix it? I dislike the white so much I can't stand to read the site.
My Comments page broken
My "My Comments" page is broken. "[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Cannot sort a row of size 8407, which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8094." I have a hunch on which thread is to blame.
Favorites for Opera?
So I guess favoriting is still broken for Opera. (I posted about this on Oct 25th). I dunno if Matt intends to support this feature on Opera or not, but I thought I'd prod anyway to see if the answer might be yes. (Please!)
Yeah, yeah, I'll switch to Firefox, it just crimps my browsing style. It's just not my... favorite.

Jobs Bug
Jobs.mefi bug: Posting new, clicking 'spell check' results in: Error processing CFX custom tag "CFX_JSpellCheck". The CFX custom tag "CFX_JSpellCheck" was not found in the custom tag database.
Logged out, logged back in, same error.

Bug in the tabs in AskMe.
I love the new tab feature, but there's a small bug with AskMe. When the posts are sorted by favorites, anonymous questions are credited to Anonymous Ask MetaFilter instead of the usual anonymous. No crisis, but an inconsistency that may distress some of our more sensitive members (you know who you are).
Can't add favorites.
"Request is malformed: can't add as a favorite." That's what I get when I try to add a favorite.
Slow Servers
Metafilter was unreachable this morning and is incredibly slow this evening - is there something we should know ?

Your comment appears to be blank, go back and try again
I'm trying to comment on thread 55668. I can preview my comment, but not post it. Either I get "Your comment appears to be blank, go back and try again." or a Coldfusion error (inside).

Favorites broken?
Is favorites broken? They don't seem to be showing up reliably in the my favorites page, and sometimes the favorites tag on the comment itself isn't incremented. A little more inside.
Fix My Link
they switched my link ... it now should be this link instead of the link in the fpp ... is there anyway this can be corrected? ... sorry about this, but i swear the link i gave was working yesterday
Why do escape characters disappear?
Simple html escape characters appear to work in the live preview but don't come through correctly. Is this a bug or intentional?
"Return to post" from "favorites" not working as advertised
"Return to post" after viewing favorites... doesn't.
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.

Tag Bugs
Most popular tags page for Mefi is broken.
Lost Password Bug
I know this has been brought up before, but the lost password emailer is not working. I am getting the "email not found, password not sent" message. I have emailed to request my password but have received no response. Is there no way to get my password?
Missing Spellcheck?
The spellcheck button has disappeared for me, in both the blue and the green. And the spellcheck on MeTa posts isn't working also.
Tags -- a Connection Timeout Error
I'm getting a "Connection Timeout" message on both http://www.metafilter.com/tags/ and http://ask.metafilter.com/tags/
"Your comment appears to be empty, please go back and try again."

Looks like the time zone code is broke.
Looks like the time zone code is broke. Everything is showing up PST for me, even though I've got Eastern set.
Timezone offsets aren't applying DST
Hey Matt, you're applying daylight saving time to timezones labeled as "UTC+-X (someplace)" in preferences...
Tags For Deleted Posts Need To Be Deleted
It would seem to me that a deleted post with tags would be more useful than a tag that hasn't any posts. [example] (if the tags hadn't been deleted). Why aren't all deleted posts purged of tags [example] so that search results are less questionable?
DNS weirdness.
Metafilter's DNS is broken. (More inside.)
Return to post link that doesn't work.
Clicking on a * users marked this as favourite link takes you to a page listing those users. That page contains a Return to post link that doesn't work.
