Projects visited link color is unreadable for me
Couple of buggies and questions:
Projects visited link color is unreadable for me. Oddly, it's a different unreadable color at work (that picture) vs at home (purple). Something goofy on my end?
A couple of music questions inside, too....

When comments are marked as favorites, the return to post link goes to the wrong place.

Weird Favorite Behavior?
Couple of issues here. I just accidentally marked a post as a favorite (stupid new mouse). Could the "favorited" confirmation page include a link to my favorites management list, or better yet, an undo? Also, from this this favorited confirmation page, the "Return to post" link is broken.
Cold Fusion error on MeFi and AskMe.
Ask and main Mefi both reporting " Invalid CFML construct found on line 55 at column 35." on every page I try which is interfering with my late night mefi fix!
Broken RSS Feed
Borked last night and Borked the night before/Going to get Borked tonight if we never get Borked any more./When we're Borked we're sick as we can be/'Cos "Syntax Error on line 1" is much too much for me.
Music Errors
When MeFi Music launched, I couldn't upload songs because I'd get this error message: "The MIME type of the uploaded file "application/oct-stream" was not accepted by the server." Others reported the same problem, and something was done which made my uploads work. However, now I'm getting this message again.
AskMe RSS Error
Sigh. I think the ask.metafilter rss is borked again.
I get this message:
XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 1, Character: 0)
with no updates for the last 3+ hours. Not that I'm addicted or anything.
unexpected text (non-whitespace text outside root element)

Timestamp Bugs
Bug: Recent Activity timestamps are wrong. E.g., I'm now (10:55AM US/Eastern) looking at recent activity on my Ask MeFi post "What does 'Only In Theatres' mean? (Ask MeFi)", and I see "15 total comments, last 10 shown below" - and all of them say "This Morning" except the last one. In reality many of them are from before midnight, either US/Eastern or UTC.
Why is the date on the last FPP wrong?
Is it just my display, or is everyone seeing the latest FPP in the blue as being posted July 6?
Doesn't make sense unless MetaFilter is coming from the South Pacific.

MefiMusic Needs Extended Chacterset

Is there a problem with the AskMe RSS Feed?
Is it just me, or is the AskMe RSS Feed reported to be broken on BlogLines more often than not?
"The feed URL returns a page that does not look like an RSS feed. This can be caused by the feed URL being incorrect, or it can be caused by a configuration issue with the server hosting the feed. If this error continues, you should check the feed URL and, if it is wrong, subscribe to the correct URL."

Your comment appears to be blank
When trying to post to another thread, I get "Your comment appears to be blank, go back and try again." Problem is, the comment is not blank.
Safari Problem
Text fields are rendering oddly in Safari for me...
No .com for askme faves
Ask metafilter favorites go to www.metafilter/favorites rather than to www.metafilter.com/favorites. Example.
My Comment Page Stalling During Load
Whenever I visit http://www.metafilter.com/index.cfm?sortby=mycommentedthreads the page load stalls at about 36kb for a good ten to twenty seconds. Every time. What's up with that?
There aren't any older questions
When you're looking through ask.metafilter posts using tags, the "« Older questions" link always appears on the bottom of the page -- even when you're on the page with the oldest questions. Click it, and you'll get a new URL with all the same old questions.

AskMe RSS Bug
Is the AskMeFi RSS feed intermittently dropping questions?
CSS in Comments?
This comment looked fine on live preview. I was trying to indent the italicized part. I take it that CSS commands aren't a good thing to put into comments.
Did my project get lost?
Did my project submission get lost? Or have admins just not had a chance to approve it? I only ask because it doesn't show up in my projects list at all, and I'm not sure if that's because it's not approved or I screwed up the submission somehow.
Asmefi RSS broken
Matt. Yo MATT. Askmefi rss is borked again. I think.

Triple Comments Triple Comments Triple Comments
Twice now I have gone to post a comment and the comment has been posted three times. But both times, I only hit "post comment" button once. Can someone please explain to me why this is happening (and delete the excess comments, please?)
Your comment appears to be blank
When posting to AskMe, I get the message: "Your comment appears to be blank, go back and try again."
It's not blank, and it happens even if I preview first.

Bug in my comments page
BUG: My comments aren't my comments. The links seem correct, but the comments displayed don't belong to me.
"Flag This Post" Bug
In MeTa and AskMe the flag [!] icon with each comment has a mouseover that reads "flag this post". But in MetaFilter the mouseover is really wide with the whole URL as well as "flag this post". It's really annoying when scrolling/reading. Can the blue be aligned with the other sites please?
Please fix this thread!
I believe this thread is broken (some sort of html mistake has broken the input box at the bottom).
Timestamp Bug
Hello, admins. It is just a tiny bug; I posted to #51093 at 12:01, the comment was timed at 12:04.
Weird timing
Weird Timing This was just posted in response to a question asked later in the thread and it seems to have been time stamped two hours earlier.
How do I customize my profile info?
I'm sorry if this has been covered or is painfully obvious, but in searching MeTa and generally scouring my profile page, I can't find where to click to change my information. The one MeTa thread I did find on the subject (here) says there's a "customize" link. It seems this has been replaced with "Preferences," since the url ends in "customize.cfm," but when I click there, I get nothing but the set of Features, Links, and Sites links. Help?
Mefi Bug Tracker
I suggest implementing a bug tracking system for MetaFilter to track all the bugs and feature requests.
You could use for example the HELPNEEDED tag for things you might need help fixing. You can set priorities on bugs so that the most important and urgent problems will be fixed first. You can set WONTFIX for features that you aren't going to implement, and that way people will know not to bug you about the issue. You can enable voting for bugs and feature requests so you'll have a better idea of where to focus your efforts, you could easily assign small issues to jessamyn, etc.

Time zone fix?
TimezonePony .... It's that time of the year again. Instead of showing the false EST/PST/etc standard timezone stamps, can the system be tweaked to either show the correct EDT/PDT/etc, or at least ET/PT/etc? Cue snarks.
Time Zone Problem
Why is the time wrong, as I view it? Sitting here on the Australian east coast, it's 5:10 pm, or UTC + 10, which is how my preferences are set. So what's the Metafilter setting, where's it gone wrong?
robots.txt gives "500 Internal Server Error" on all subdomains

My Comments page is missing all of the carriage returns.
Linefeeds/Carriage returns in My Comments missing? Same in both Firefox 1.5.0.1 and IE 6. I'm not talking about breaks between comments, but within comments.
AskMe RSS Bugs
Is anyone else getting "Connection Failure" from the AskMe RSS feed?
I still think that 304 HTTP headers should be implemented.
"304 Not Modified" redux: I still think that 304 HTTP headers should be implemented. (previous thread)
Are we still getting hit by DoS attacks?
Is Metafilter still getting hammered a la this thread? I notice that just about every day this week, I have been unable to reach mefi at all in the morning time (GMT, say 8am till roughly 11 or noon). I thought it might just be my net connection at work, but my home connection has the same issues whenever it appears to be down.
Are we just undergoing backups or some-such thing at this time? Or does Ireland just disconnect from MeFi every morning for some reason? :)

Connection timeout members
I'm getting this on the front page of MeFi:
Connection Timeout members | You are logged in as: Godbert / logout
5 links and 88 comments posted since your last visit

Metafilter RSS Feed
The metafilter rss feed is broken. It just gives a 301 redirect to itself.
uppercase html bugs
Uppercase HTML TITLE text in anchor tags gets converted to lowercase (I think via previewing a post). Seen here on AskMe. Also seems to be buggy on MeFi. [MI]
AskMe Giant Titles
The titles of the Ask posts are appearing at the top of the posts in GIANT fonts for me. Safari.
Bug when posting an FPP
Unable to post a FPP, I had to try several times. Firefox 1.5, Windows 2000. Error message inside.
Firefox: Not playing well with AskMe?
Really not a problem, but I am curious: I click anywhere in AskMe, and Firefox doesn't ever seem to think the page is completely loaded? I get the busy signal cursor, and the Firefox load meter (bottom right-hand in Firefox) never completes, even though it seems like the whole page loads. Buh?
Tag Search Testing
I'm testing out tag search on MeFi. Here's a search for "goo" and one for "music" showing typical results. It can be reached on the search page. Post any bugs or further suggestions inside.
When hitting the + on any askme tag page, to add a second tag, an angry message appears
Help! Help! When hitting the + on any askme tag page, to add a second tag, an angry message appears! This frightens me, giving me an awful fright. Please help!
Sidebar Clarification
Nit-picking: On the frontpage, the description on the sideblog says 'This sideblog keeps track of site news and metatalk threads', yet all the threads are from AskMefi.
AskMe isn't displaying 'My Posts' correctly.
On AxeMe, if I click "My Posts" (should be "My Questions"), and choose a 1 month time frame, it shows me one 6-month-old quesiton I asked, but not the 7 more recent quesitons (including one I just asked today.) In any other view, no quesitons are displayed at all.
