Cold Fusion error when not logged in

April 25, 2002 6:30 AM

I'm getting a Cold Fusion error instead of the frontpage if I'm not logged in at the moment.

P.S. Metafilter mentioned on webmonkey today!

I get the same message. I'm at work, so I can't email Matt at the moment. Can someone else do so, if they verify a third person is getting the error?

And here's the error message I get if I'm not logged in to MetaTalk:

Do people still read webmonkey?

Will somebody else just please:

1. verify that Metafilter is currently inaccessible to everybody in the world except for logged-on members, and, if so

2. e-mail Matt about this little problem?

Sorry, Matt. I had high hopes that at least one emailer would have come back to the thread to say "I emailed Matt about this."

Talking about mentions of mefi:

Community-friendly advertising by Derek Powazek talks about textads, Matt and Mefi. (via Microcontentnews). Its an interesting essay.
