RSS for Favorited Comments
How about an RSS Feed that keeps track of when other people save your comment as favorites? Then you would never have to check that page manually to boost your self-worth.
My Recent Comments Pony
My comments pony: an option to only show comments made since the previous load of the "my comments" page.
Question about unique comments favorited
On the pages listing contributions by a particular user that have been favorited, each column says "Displaying 1 through n [posts | comments]", but the number given is the number of aggregate times such contributions have been favorited, not the number of unique items that have been favorited, as the text states. In other words, if a user has had exactly one post favorited, and its been favorited three times, the text will say "Displaying 1 through 3 posts."

Closing AskMe Threads
Do AskMetafilter questions not close to new comments after 30 days the way Metatalk & Metafilter do?
Semantic Wording About Favorites
On the user profile page, the "# of comments marked by others as a favorite" is incorrectly worded. I think that the wording should be changed to something like, "# of times contributions by 'user x' were saved by others" instead. Or is it possible to snip the dupes and only include the unique posts and comments that were favorited (in the # itself)? I read this thread, but it didn't seem to discuss the language I'm referring to.
policy favorites comments
Can we please get rid of the '1 user marked this as favorite' crap?
Would it be okay to post a link to my book in a post?
I wanted to post about the current threat to abortion rights along with some links to information about how to get or do abortions. One of the links I wanted to include was to a book that I worked on. Is it inapropriate to put this post on the main page? (Since I wasn't sure, I posted it on projects.) Advice?

Best Comment?
How about a 'Best Comment' option on MeFi, similar to the 'Best Answer' option on AskMe? [more inside]
Comment anchor isn't working: deletion is the answer.
Why are we picking on the 13 year old? This is really distasteful.

The link in this post is ask.metafilter.com/mefi/40483#624324 but it opens at the post and not at the offending comment. Makes it rather difficult to follow the thread as a result. Am I missing something? Was it deleted? Can you point me to the comment in question? Is it OK to askthree four questions?

Could we have a timed window for editing comments?
How difficult would it be to program an edit function into our comments that allows us to revise our contributions within 1-5 minutes of posting it? I think it'd be a very cool thing to have for us OCD types that apologize after we spell something wrong and immediately correct ourselves in the next comment. Also, it could serve as a conscience (you post something, you regret it immediately, and get rid of it). Note, I'm not asking for unlimited editing. Only the ability to edit within 1-5 minutes of your original post.
I'm kind of disappointed to see everyone so cynical lately.
Mmmm. A one-link post to a mediocre commercial.

3 years free, was it worth it?
In 2003, a post about 3 years of free web hosting, and almost 3 years later, the tribulations of cancelling aforementioned free web hosting. Full circle.
one enhancement I'd like to see is the ability to search through my comments only

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.
Could the spellchecker work for comments?
Spell check in Safari works for front page posts. Could it work for comments?
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.
Comment deletion in the religion thread.
Why can't you love your fellow man and be selfless, without needing to believe in a giant invisible wizard in the sky? This statement was attacked, defended, reconnected with the topic at hand, and was further clarified and apologized for by its author. But as of a few minutes ago, it no longer exists. This, my friends, is Chewbacca, and Chewbacca does not make sense.
Commenting on Deleted Threads
PieInTheSky Feature Request: The ability to add comments to deleted threads. Please? Think of all the fun we could have!
New Comments
Would it be possible to show how many comments have been made on a thread since the last time you clicked on the thread, not since the last time you loaded the page?
Stop crapping in the sports threads
New "Blocking" Request
Warning: long, detailed post ahead. You have been warned.
More Fantastic Comments Please
"Fantastic comments" make good reading. Why can I only read the last ten? Is it just a technical issue, or is there a worry that a permanent archive will result in competition?
(and if so, is competition that encourages people to write fantastic comments really such a bad idea?)

Deleted comments immediately reposted
I think it's a violation of the spirt of AskMe to repost derailing comments immediately after they've been deleted.

Voting on Metafilter Projects?
Now that the contest is over, what is the point of having voting on Metafilter Projects? Anyone who wants to post the project to the front page can do so—no matter how many votes there are—and in most cases, having comments there instead of voting could provide the poster with valuable criticism and advice.
Is it just the worry that people will write mean things about the projects?

Is there no room on metafilter for fun?
I noticed all of Eideteker's "APRIL FOOLS!" comments were deleted. Is there no room on metafilter for fun?
why was my comment deleted
Can whoever deleted my comment in this thread explain why it was deleted with no explanation and other similar comments remain?
Is there a way to jump from one comment to the next using my keyboard?
Is there a way to jump from one comment (anchor) to the next using my keyboard? I like a feature in Bloglines where you can simply press "j" to go to the next article in a feed ("k" goes to the previous article). It would be nice if we had a navigation system similar to this going from comment to comment for MeFi/AskMe/MeTa threads.
Just a heads-up.

Comment sorting a mystery
What's going on here with how my comments are sorted?
It looks like they're being sorted by comment date DESC, except that the three latest comments are not quite right.

A vote for threaded comments
If MeFi had threaded comments like most forums, it would be easy to simply delete a comment and all of its followups in one swoop. I used to do this all the time on a forum I moderated, and it was really nice.
(This comment was going to be appended to the prematurely-closed thread two below.)

Comments Text-Box Width
Ponyfilter: It'd be really nice if the 'Comments' entry box could be the full width of the browser. MeFi does an excellent job in handling widescreen monitors in all respects but that one. [bit more inside]
Unclosed tags in Recent Comments
In My Recent Comments, one of the long comments was truncated in the middle of an < i>italicized section< /i>. Consequently, the italics weren't closed for the rest of My Recent Comments.
Can we RSS for posts and comments?
It would be cool to have RSS feeds on a per user basis. I'm thinking mainly posts but comments would be fine too. Something like http://www.metafilter.com/username.mefi/user/posts.rss and http://www.metafilter.com/username.mefi/user/comments.rss. It'd be a great way to keep up with people whose stuff you enjoy (like everyone's favorite) w/o getting lost in the volume.
I added more descriptive titles to metafilter
I added more descriptive titles to metafilter and ask mefi comment pages. Refresh your CSS to see them as they intended to look.
This "wins" meme is stupid.
I know I'll probably get a lot of shit for this, like I do for every MeTa thread I post, but can we please please please put a moratorium on the phrase "X wins the thread" and all variants thereof?
Okay now please commence with snark and then others can quote that snark and say "[snarker] wins the thread" hooray!

Pony: temporary comment editing
Temporary comment editing?
I'm sure this has been brought up before but......It would be nice to be able to edit one's comments for a short period after posting. Not for very long, obviously, but long enough to fix glaring errors or spelling mistakes.

What happend in this thread on Spodee?
What happend in this thread on Spodee? My comment is cut off in the middle and the posting box is screwed up.
"My comments": truncation causes truculence?
I'm not sure of this is a bug or a feature, but I've noticed that in "My Comments" long comments are cut off. If it's a bug: "Hey Matt, I found a bug!" If it's a feature...well I suppose I see the logic, so whatever.
Possible questionable self-linking in comments
Do new users know about self-linking? I normally don't care to police this stuff, but mickeyz has been a member two days and self-linked to his own banal blog twice so far.
Why is an answer in AskMe deleted when it contains an informative comment, followed by some humor?

This seems a tad unfair, since lots of comments are not deleted which contain exactly the same mix of a comment, followed by humor.
I'd link to my answer, but I don't know where it is.....Here's the question.
How do I know who's deleted my comment? Appeals? How does one gain such Godlike powers?
Also: is there a place to find deleted comments on AskMe so at least I can save my late night ramblings

Does PP have a sockpuppet?
Did somebody forget to change sockpuppets, or is this a fake comment?
