Admins Please Fix My Mistake

Robert Angelo — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 17:33:28 -0800

Help me, O Admins! I screwed up! Even though I previewed three times, I mixed up the tags and titles on this AskMe After I am tortured and ridiculed, can you please change the to "In Here, Out Over There"?

Fix My FPP Links

Oops. Can someone correct one of the links in my FPP please? "Two" and "LPs" both link to the same place. One of them should go here instead. Thanks!

I mixed up the title and link fields in this post

I mixed up the title and link fields in this post making my FPP rather incomprehensible.

Did someone change my URL?

maudlin — Tue, 05 Mar 2002 03:55:09 -0800

An URL posted here has changed. I posted a link to the Glass Engine on the weekend as http://www.philipglass.com/glassengine/#. The URL now coded inside the Metafilter page is http://euphorbia1.client.dti.net/glassengine/ but it fails to connect. The www.philipglass.com site appears to be down as well (and I really hope I didn't get the place MeFied) so the original URL doesn't work either. This is not a redirect I'm talking about: the code in this Metafilter page is different. I just checked http://www.jerrykindall.com/ where I got the URL -- and his code has changed to the new URL, too. Say, you all aren't trying to glasslight me, are you?

MetaFilter in IE doesn't allow View Source

harrycaul — Thu, 18 Oct 2001 10:36:13 -0800

I've noticed that MetaFilter in IE doesn't let one "View Source". Is this by design? Given the current state of search it might make sense to allow it. When researching a new link for posting, sometimes its easier just to search for the URL in the source.

Scholarship voting problem

CRS — Tue, 12 Jun 2001 07:11:14 -0800

I voted for all of the essays, but when I went to check my votes with the provided link, it claimed I had not voted for any essays. Is the problem a bug or just me?
