Mefi Suggestion Box

amyms — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 23:16:16 -0800

Obviously we all love Metafilter or we wouldn't be here posting and reading day after day... But, if there was one thing you could change/modify about your Metafilter experience, what would it be?

More Inside? You bet.

pb — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 15:11:12 -0800

More inside everywhere! Well, not technically everywhere, but the blue, Metatalk, and Music now have a [more inside] option when posting. (This has been available at AskMeFi for quite a while already.) No need to add to your own "more inside", "after the jump", or "below the fold"; [more inside] will be a appended to the post if an extended description is available. As always, bugs are probably lurking, and I know there are sections of the site that aren't expecting [more inside] yet, but we'll update/fix as we go.

Changing details about contacts

Is there a feature to modify links to others?
I checked, no dice.

Did the spell check button on MeFi comments go away?

Did the spell check button on MeFi comments go away? Has this been discussed already and if so will I be made fun of in the comments for this post?

Can we have a changelog?

ChrisR — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 06:43:29 -0800

Would it be feasible to have an admin-only message board, maybe in the sidebar? There are enough postings where #1 explains the addition or removal of a feature to merit some kind ot tracking.

I guess what I want is a Meta-Changelog (say, changes.metafilter.com?) that could just be a plain-text, "on this date there was..." sort of list.

Or, there's always the ubiquitous RSS feed.

How about it? Simple pony?

Can we move the byline to the top?

Quietgal — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 08:43:05 -0800

Suggestion for a small format change: how about putting the byline on top of the comment in discussion threads? This would allow us to efficiently skip comments from users we don't want to hear from without resorting to user killfiles, and without wasting precious seconds of I'm-surfing-at-work-and-I-really-shouldn't-be-doing-this time to realize that this is a comment from that guy. Having the byline at the top would save a bit of scrolling and skimming, since you'd know what you're getting into right from the start. Also, some MeFites are "must-reads" for me and I'd like to make sure I don't blow past them.

I can't get my posts to switch font modes in a single text area.

I can't get my posts to switch font modes in a single area of the text, it's all or nothing. I have a mac with OS 10.4 and use safari.

Do you ever wish you could change your username?

Do you ever wish you could change your username? What would you change it to?

Thank you thank you, AskMe! [more specific thanks inside]

MeFi Passwords

answergrape — Sat, 31 Jul 2004 16:34:19 -0800

Perhaps it's right in front of my nose....

Where do we go to change our MeFi passwords? What do we do if we, heaven forbid, LOSE our password to MeFi? Do we get kicked out of the kingdom for being big dorkuses? Am I just missing it?

Changing user names?

pjgulliver — Thu, 05 Sep 2002 11:56:54 -0800

Question on how to use Mefi, from a newbie....

Should we be allowed to change our MetaFilter usernames?

wackybrit — Sat, 10 Aug 2002 16:08:16 -0800

Should we be allowed to change our MetaFilter usernames / nicknames? I only ask, because I'd certainly like to change mine, after being ribbed several times for not using British English (because I have 'Brit' in my nick doesn't necessarily mean I'm British). Or would a nick change feature cause lots of problems with people harassing others and then hiding behind new names? Discuss.

Change password

pnevares — Thu, 28 Jun 2001 22:45:13 -0800

Can we get a form to change our MeFi password? I haven't been able to find it, so I guess this is a feature request...hope I haven't just missed the link somewhere on the front page :)

Text preferences not changing on second computer

briank — Sat, 31 Mar 2001 19:37:18 -0800

I read MeFi from two different computers (one at home, one at work); I changed my MeFi text preferences on my machine at work and they applied without problem. The prefs don't take on my home machine, though, even after I went to the bother of going back into the prefs on my home machine and resetting them again to be exactly the same as my work machine.

Yes, I have the same fonts on both machines, as well as the same browser (IE 5.5 SP1).

Any clues?
