Login Error

October 25, 2007 7:02 AM

I'm getting this error [see more inside for error] every morning when I log into any Mefi site. I can delete any cookies related to MetaFilter and get in ok but I thought that I would only have to do it one time. It seems I have to do this every day. Is this something that anyone else had reported? Thanks!

We're sorry — A Server Error Occurred
This might be a one-time thing. But if you continue to have this problem, please contact the MeFi Admins with the following information:

Element MEFIMAIL_OPTOUT is undefined in MEFIMAILPREFS.

The error occurred on line 320.

You're the second person I've seen report this in the last day or so. While we're waiting for the west coast to wake up, can you let us know if it started happening after MeFiMail came into being, or after you changed something in your profile?

Thanks Jess. Just after the mefi mail was added. I meant to mention that in my post. Sorry.

Looks like it's something that mathowie and pb are working on this morning, should be fixed soon.

KevinSkomsvold, are you still getting the error?

I had the same error and couldn't log in. Works fine now.
