Favorite cloud

bigmusic — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 17:56:38 -0800

Suggestion:We have a tag cloud - how about a favorites cloud? Popular favorites are great, but often I'd like to find things that are only moderately popular.

Award for Mefite Genius?

How about if the Metafilter Scholarship be used as an award for a project by a Mefite they can present publicly at the big 10th anniversary event? The winner could be chosen by how many times their presentation is favorited as a live event being posted on Metatalk because it's related. If you are for it, I will donate $20 myself. Portland may be far because even though my whole sophomore year social life now lives there, I am unable to come west right now.

Sidebar History

Eideteker — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 10:44:04 -0800

Sidebar: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 years ago... 6, 7? I mean, I can type it in manually, but I figured I'd suggest it and see if enough people want it. And I'm not saying to go on indefinitely, could turn into "1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 years ago" over time, as per mathowie's decendants' wishes.

Four Posts on the Same Death

After another four times dead post on the home page, I have a little suggestion to people out to FPP that someone is still dead.

Layout suggestion for horozontal rules on AskMe

davcoo — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 12:53:24 -0800

Add a separator (horizontal line, blank line, whatever you deem appropriate) of some kind: (1) between answers in AskMeFi, and (2) between new and old questions on the front page. This would help break up the page a little more.

Would it be a good idea to display Music playlists on profile pages?

ijoshua — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 16:19:03 -0800

Would it be a good idea to display Music playlists on profile pages along with posts, comments, and faves?

Link new question page to wiki?

hooray — Sat, 04 Feb 2006 13:57:02 -0800

On the ask.mefi "post a new question page," can we get a link to the What makes a good question wiki page?

Should banned users' profiles reflect the reason for their status?

mediareport — Mon, 28 Mar 2005 17:05:12 -0800

If a user is banned for blatantly violating the no-self-link rule, would it be a good idea to either a) note the banning on that person's user page or b) delete the user page entirely? Seems strange to keep a user page from someone who took a dump on the community.

Use the MeFi sidebar to draw attention to recent MeTa threads?

timothompson — Fri, 27 Jul 2001 15:38:38 -0800

I posted this in another thread, but since you can't see new posts on MetaTalk, I decided to post it here. Would it be a good idea to list recent MetaTalk threads in a section of the right sidebar?

Also: would dates be better than days for right sidebar posts (7/27/01 instead of Friday)? Kind of like filepile. It's hard to tell how stale the news is with just days...

Island of Bad Posts?

jessamyn — Wed, 11 Apr 2001 12:31:56 -0800

I just noticed another insanely long no-link post was pulled this morning. It might be useful to have a Island of Bad Posts archive where stuff that gets pulled is anonymized and listed along with a 25 word description of why it was pulled. This page could be linked to the register page for new users so they can learn through negative example as well as learning by positive example just by reading the site. Plus I'm sure a lot of us are just curious about what's getting pulled....

"Contribute" link?

thirteen — Thu, 08 Feb 2001 14:07:55 -0800

Matt, you should put a contribute link on the main menu bar. I mostly use Netscape, and was not paying attention the Amazon disscussion. I only noticed the link on the blue sidebar when I launched Explorer to check out another page, and it defaulted to Metafilter. Might be a more offical place to encourage people to help out more frequently.
