Mefi frontpage is blank in Opera 9.23
I'm using Opera (9.23, Windows NT 5.1; U; sv) and all I see at the Metafilter frontpage is nothing at all (image). Mefi works fine in IE. Whatever has caused this, it must have happened during the past 12 hours.
More inside picky?
I just posted in a thread on the blue and the more inside wasn't visible in preview. I'm on Safari. Anyone else seeing this?
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.
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?
I can't access my question.

The Projects search box does a site-specific search of MetaTalk, not Projects

DNS weirdness.
Metafilter's DNS is broken. (More inside.)
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!
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.

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?
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?
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.
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

Archives link in Projects isn't working correctly.
The archives link within Projects seems not to work as expected. Apologies if this is known or expected.
metafilter.com Domain Name not Resolving
The metafilter.com domain name seems to be dying. It resolves if I access the internet one way, but not if I use my other connection. Here's proof it's not just me.
Is the feed broken?
XML feed error?

Variable LINK_DATE is undefined. [more]
Invalid CFML construct error on front page
Invalid CFML construct error on the MeFi front page when not logged in. Happens in both IE6 and Firefox.
Broken AskMe RSS?
Did the new AskMe ponies break AskMe RSS? I get invalid XML errors in T-Bird. Browsing to the XML file results in broken badness.
Username links go to threads instead
When I click on the username in this archived MeFi thread I am taken to an old post with the same number as the user, i.e. the url says 'mefi' instead of 'user'. Only true for the original post, not for comments.
Adding tags to my old thread caused a mess.
I made my old thread unhappy when adding tags. Not sure how that happened.
I want to vote
I just got back from off-line travels and I want to vote in the Pres election contest. However the best I have been able to do it to get a page that tells me "Requested range not satisfiable. Does this mean the Floridicans have got my number?
Preview bug
When previewing a comment to a MeTa thread, the links to separate comments behind the time is broken, it links to
http://metatalk.metafilter.com/contribute/metadetail.cfm?link_ID=xxxx#yyyyyy (which doesn't exist) instead of http://metatalk.metafilter.com/mefi/xxxx#yyyyyy.Spell checker isn't checking spells for me
Spell checker isn't checking spells for me, it says it is but just does the 'trumpet fingering' thing for ages.
FYI: I fixed a small bug this morning.
FYI: I fixed a small bug this morning. The html shortcuts were not showing up in firefox browsers but should now, and they seem to work fine on all three sites.
Timestamps in wrong timezone
I'm logged in, but I'm still seeing timestamps in PST (I'm in EST, and my customize page still says that.)
(Win2K/IE6)...and at work so there may be firewall issues.)

Post opens print dialog
I know it has been discussed before, but this post's link to the light version does something different: it brings up the print dialog [ie 6/xp and moz 1.0/xp]. I'd prefer the regular version to a page that decides to open the printer dialog for me.
Can't access the front page.
Here's a weird one. I can't view the front page. (More inside)
Netscape problems
Disappearing comments in Netscape 4.78: when I post a comment to MeFi, it doesn't appear until I force the page to reload. When I post a comment to MeTa, it disappears completely! Obviously, I'm posting this with a different browser.
fixed a couple long-standing bugs
I finally fixed a couple long-standing bugs. One, when you used <blockquote> in a comment, the preview page would look screwy, but upon submission, it would appear fine. That is fixed. The second, as mentioned by nicwolff below, had to do with the preview not being an exact preview of the comment after submission. That has been fixed, and the special code clean up that is done on submission is done on preview.
Broken html messing up the place.
Bug: comment links send me back to the top
when i try to jump to someone's specific comment in a MeTa thread, it sends me to the top of the page. [example inside]
Netscape ate my MeFi!

Italicized front page

Everything after the description of the very first entry is now in italics.

Why The Use of Font Tags?
Ugh.
Posting goes to MeTa
Um, whoops. I think I found a bug. Click "post a comment" on the main page, and then "post a topic" on the top nav, and it goes to MetaTalk, instead of the main blog. Sorry bout that.
