BUG: it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside
This thread is alternating "Mark as best answer"... marks.
My newly posted comment was instantly marked. And while it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, the obvious "every other" pattern is a clear bug.

Spoofing bug
fandango_matt found a spoofing bug here.
Linebreaks in preview on AskMe.
AskMe apparently trims line breaks from posts. I guess I understand this, but it would be nice if it also happened in the preview. In preview, my line breaks were still intact, so I hit the post button, and now my post looks a bit silly. Not the end of the world, but I figure it can't be intentional.
I behaved myself, but there seem to be loopholes
Having just made an FPP, I can still get to the posting page by pasting the "post_good.mefi" link. I can also put in any user id and it still gets me into preview. I didn't dare to hit post though to see if that works, but I thought I'd point it out.
AskMe CSS Bug?
Ask MeFi CSS Bug? Best answers aren't highlighted anymore. Firefox 1.5 Windows XP, no changes since yesterday when things worked fine.
Cached copy of the front page stuck somewhere
The top three links on this page do not appear on the main page, despite not being deleted. It seems that a cached copy of the front page has gotten stuck somewhere.
"add tag" bug in safari redirects
Clicking on "add tag" within an existing post using Safari redirects to the front page before any tags can be added. (Forgive me, if this has been pointed out before... I did several searches but couldn't find the magic search terms to narrow it down to anything specific)
This post breaks the RSS code.
The MeFi RSS code escapes the ampersand in this post. It shouldn't.

Error on preference saving
Can't save Preferences unless "Show email on profile page?" is checked; get error "Element USER_EMAIL_PREF is undefined in FORM."
MetaTalk Formatting
Padding (?) on the top-right "MetaTalk" link makes a horizontal scroll bar appear on-click (screenshot). Seems to only happen in Firefox (1.5 on a Windows XP Home SP2 machine). This is totally the end of the world.
Text not exactly where it should be
AskMe bug: "Post a new question, Preferences, My Posts, and My Comments" seem to appear slightly below where they belong - the bottoms of the letters leave the hatched section and stick out into the lighter green section. This appears for main and comment pages in AskMe.
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.
Question about Recent Comments
The My Recent Comments script seems to have a bug. [images & expl. inside]
MetaTalk RSS feed links point to MeFi not MeTa
The MetaTalk RSS feed is slightly misguided. Links point to MetaFilter threads of the same #, not the correct MeTa thread.
Time Zone Problem
Bug: The posts on the front page (www) all have my correct timezone. However, posts to Metatalk and Ask are all reported as PST. Can you please make them in terms of my configured timezone?
tag+tag browsing in Ask Metafilter is returning unhelpful results
tag+tag browsing in Ask Metafilter is returning unhelpful results. A blank result is returned even if I click on the + off a single tag's page. WinXP/FireFox/Metafilthy.

Why is my question broken?
Why does my question on ask.metafilter not work anymore? I want to get to the answers, but it appears that the question is broken. (Or is it only broken for me?) Here's the link:

The missing link
From the very "Post a new thread" link hovering above these very words:
Note: if posting about general weblog-related items, please post to Blogroots.com instead.
The linkey, she needs to go the way of BlogRoots.

Document contains no data
"Document contains no data". I know this has been mentioned recently but I couldn't find the link. It's happening pretty frequently. Is is just me? Should I just shut up and be patient?

Clicking on the number of comments in my profile brings up this (and I doubt I'm the only one):

My profile seems to think my zipcode doesn't exist.
For some reason in my profile, where it is supposed to say "xx MetaFilter users near this user:" I get "no zip found in the db". I found that strange, as I live in a suburb of DC, but shrugged it off as everyone else living in the cooler parts of town. However, when I got bored and looked into it, I'm 26.87 miles from darksquirrel. Yet darksquirrel is 29.78 miles from jenny18 and they show up in each other's zipcode list. Is this a bug, or have I uncovered the fact that my neighborhood has been blackballed by MeFi?
Checkmark, no best answer
This thread has a checkmark on the front page of AskMe, but no best answers marked inside. Opera on Mac OS 10.3.9.
Ghost in the machine.
Ghost in the machine. I left my machine with Firefox 1.06 (with Metafilthy installed) logged in to this Metafilter thread for about 4 hours. When I returned this comment from all-seeing eye dog was in the comment box and I was logged out. So I couldn't post it, but it was a little confusing.
I suppose this could be a Metafilthy issue, a Firefox issue or something else again. Apologies if this is not the first time that someone has posted this bug. I didn't know what to search for to check.

This doesn't look quite right...
Odd results from tag list on deleted post
Sometimes, when you click on a tag in the tags list, you get something like this. Does this mean the post got deleted?

Can't logout?
I can't logout from the blue, I suspect because of the Red Cross link. I'm using an outdated version of Firefox, has anyone else noticed this?
posting box does not appear in Mozilla
the posting box does not apear, however live preview, and all the rest of the chrome do. I'm using an older version of Moz here.
Runaway italics.
Server is still starting up
Ask MetaFilter post message has spazzed out and I keep getting server errors ("Server is still starting up"??).
I just thought I'd impart this thrilling news for your edification and reading pleasure.
I'm done now.

Opera Bug with Live Preview
Did the addition of live preview break comment posting in Opera? Comments still get posted, but on submit, the page never refreshes, and just sits there and spins.
Are other Opera users having this problem, or just me?

IP blockage error?
If my IP were blocked, would the symptoms be something like constantly getting a "Error Executing Database Query ... Server returned: No buffer space available (maximum connections reached?)" error, even though everyone else can connect just fine, until it occurs to me to ssh elsewhere and try connecting? At which point I get through fine?

I'm flagging the breakage of flags.
I was trying to flag a remark, but Firefox gives me a wierd error after is says the message got sent, as it's redirecting back to the original post. Just wondering if message was (probably) received. and to point out the bug.
