Is AskMe down? (Jan. 22, 2006)
Is AskMe down? Can't get to it via comments or the main page, on firefox or IE, on two separate computers. This is a new one - I've never noticed just one segment of the site going down before.

User number bug
26434 members | You are logged in as: dersins / logout
it's been stuck at 26434 for an awfully long time, hasn't it?

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.
Error Occurred While Processing Request
When trying to select a best answer on this thread, I get:
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Procedure 'askmeficomments' expects parameter '@timezone', which was not supplied.
AskMe Errors
What just happened to AskMefi? For about five minutes all the insides had the "nothing to see here" page or a strange error page. Anyone else? I thought my work had finally gotten around to banning it. I started working on my resume...
Metafilter error: gnarly errors from ColdFusion when updating threads not available for update.
Error when trying to post on the blue:
This post breaks the RSS code.
The MeFi RSS code escapes the ampersand in this post. It shouldn't.
Ask.Mefi RSS isn't updating
It's broke again. The Ask.Mefi RSS isn't updating.
the XML yields:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Broken link on front page
Metatalk layout in Firefox unusual
At least in Firefox for Mac, the layout of Metatalk is weird. There's no lefthand margin; and the top of the page contains these links, etc.:
MetaTalk is a discussion area for topics specific to MetaFilter itself, ranging from bug reports to feature requests to questions of content. The posts are sorted by date, and tagged by category.

another lat/long bug? i saw the comment about integers only and tried to change mine. but although i enter "-33" the value stays at "-33.4".
Profile Bug
I want to update my other preferences, but I don't want to enter my latitude/longtiude. Trying to do so leads me to an error page about my lat/long coordinates.
I'm not able to add latitude and longitude on my profile.
I cannot add latitude/longitude to my userpage. More inside.
Tag lists aren't up to date.
Why does my username appear as it does?
My username is PenguinBukkake, capital "P" capital "B". But my comment box, in Safari, reads,
Posting as: penguinBukkake (logout)

DNS Issues?
It looks like your DNS server is failing. Metafilter is hosted by eod.com, and they aren't answering for anything in metafilter.com. I'm trying to get this posted quickly before my caches expire... I already can't reach ask.metafilter.com
Eod has only one IP address for their 'two' nameservers, 72.36.180.243. It pings, but doesn't answer name service requests.
You might want to consider hosting your domain with someone with enough money to put two servers on the net. :(

Timestamps and bugs and issues, oh my.
Last month, there was this bug about posts from yesterday being timestamped as "this morning" in My Comments. The same thing is happening in My Posts. It is confusing.
CAPTCHA problems
FYI, if you type in the wrong password the first time, the second login page continues to ask you to type in the letters from the image below, but doesn't show you the image any more.
Bad HTML makes askme games thread a bad match.
This thread appears to be broken.
best answer outside, not inside
This Ask me thread has the "Best answer" checked on the main page, but nothing is showing up in the thread. Just thought I'd let you know.
Login works on MeFi and MeTa but not AskMe
How can I be logged in to MeFi and MeTa, but not AskMeFi? When I'm reading AskMeFi and I try to login, the login page bumps me to MeFi. Then, when I click on AskMeFi, I'm not logged in. Que pasa?
(I haven't been around much lately, apologies if this has been covered before.)

Time Zone Problem
Time Zone problem? My prefs are set to display the Eastern TZ, yet I'm seeing everying in PT. I think this is a recent phenomenon, though I may have just missed it before.
Timestamps
"Timestamps" in "my comments": The quasi-timestamps in "my comments" are wrong. The early ones are right "This morning"/"12 Hours ago"/ "7 Hours Ago" etc.
But then at some point it seems to reset and comments from yesterday are listed as "This morning" and "4 hours ago". It looks like it's only taking time into account and not the date?

The archive page for July 2001 has weird text formatting
The archive page for July 2001 has weird text formatting. It changes after bytecode's post on the 28th. Everything below that seems to be in smaller text.
MetaTalk Comments Bug
Bug: Try going to a user's MetaTalk comments page (example).
If you click on the page numbers at the bottom, offsets don't seem to work. Therefore, clicking on page 10 should return comments 451-500, but actually returns comments 1-500. Presumably, if everyone who sees this clicks on page 109, and therefore requests all 5437 comments, the world will explode.

Logouts
A little bug: I keep finding myself logged out against my will. A redesign glitch?
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.
New Layout Bugs
I found a few browser-specific bugs with the new layout, is anyone else experiencing these?
1) The main logo for MeTa,MeFi, AskMe and Projects works fine, except when you click on the comments for a particular post. Once you do this, my browser is telling me there's a broken image above the main logo, to the left. It appears there's a missing border or something that usually would fit nicely into place to make all the images play happily together. (I'm using the latest version of IE.)
2) In Safari on my crappy preferences-locked Mac at work, the default text color on Projects is yellow main links, white background, with my text set to (of course) white. I'm willing to accept this is just a stupid Safari bug I'll have to live with, I just wondered if anyone else was experiencing a similar problem.

Project Archives
I don't think the archives page on projects.metafilter.com is working...
Spellchecking More Inside
Oops: The Spellchecker in AskMe apparently doesn't check the "more inside" section (and thus it is embarrassingly revealed that I know how to spell neither "precocity" nor "curiosities"). [MI]
Yahoo Search Bug
Yahoo search isn't working properly, via the "Search Ask Metafilter" link. Clicking on a search result link goes directly to http://www.yahoo.com.
Bug in AskMe Archives
When I try to page through my AskMe archives by clicking "next," the same results start each page and some older ones are added to the end.
Time Zones
Posting to bugs, but not sure if there's something I'm missing - I can set my preferences to GMT or whatever the other abbreviation is, and this shows up on the MeFi front page but not on AskMeFi and MetaTalk. Am I missing something?
Error message while trying to comment.
When trying to post a comment from XP/IE7.0b I get an error message. [MI]
Fix my Project!
Metafilter projects - very nice, but I made a mess up. I put the url link in the description and the description as the link - any chance someone could fix it for me? pretty pretty please? cheers!
Problem Voting on Projects
Can't vote on Metafilter Projects. No matter which browser I try (Opera, Firefox, IE, Mozilla) I cannot vote on any of the MeFi Projects. I get the following message: There was an error recording your vote. I've done the cookie-clearing logout/login and still get the same error.
I realize the section is still in beta so it's not a huge deal. I just wanted to give a heads up since several other people are having the same problem.

Missing Search
Hey Matt, where did the search function go? Now all that is left is a Google search, but that doesn't pick up recent posts. I know you are working on some new search features, but could we have the old one back in the meantime, please?
Opera Bugs
Opera Post Bug Redux? I swear this was a single post. Here's what I think I did: Typed stuff; hit Preview (to work around the Opera submission bug); hit submit. (Haven't tried to recreate, because I don't want to mess up the thread with more extraneous stuff.)
Strange user pages exist in the system for potential MeFites who didn't activate their membership
When you search users you get users who started the signup process, but never paid their $5. Strange user pages ensue.
Tags Aren't Working?
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?
Live preview ignores tag order incorrectly.

metafilter.com Domain Name not Resolving
The metafilter.com domain name seems to be dying. It resolves if I access the internet one way, but not if I use my other connection. Here's proof it's not just me.
MeFi's down. Again.
Administrators! It seems to me that this website has been having a lot of downtime recently; well, this century. Do we know any more about what is causing it, and are there plans to combat this phantom menace?
Sharpreader is Combining RSS Feeds
For the past week or so, Sharpreader has been combining Metafilter and AskMetafilter feeds, even though I'm subscribed to each separately. In other words, my Ask Metafilter feed (http://ask.metafilter.com/rss.xml) is picking up Metafilter threads, and my Metafilter feed (http://xml.metafilter.com/rss.xml) is picking up AskMe feeds. Things used to work properly, and I haven't changed anything at my end. Is anyone else seeing this?
