Old threads link usernames to posts, not users
Bug: old threads have the poster username linking to the thread with the same number as their usernumber. Example (working). Example (nonworking). Only in the post; the username links in comments are fine.
AskMe Error
I'm getting an Error # 4096 while trying to post a comment to Ax Me right now.
Timezone bug.
Timezone confusion; though my prefs are set for Eastern time, timestamps are coming up PST. ?
Broken RSS on MeFi
The MetaFilter front page RSS feed seems to have become deformed. It has something to do with "Soup & Old Clothes?"
Metafilter login doesn't work for me on Firefox.
Metafilter login doesn't work for me on Firefox. Just sends me back to the homepage without logging me in. It does work on IE. Metatalk and Ask Metafilter seem fine on both browsers. I've deleted all cookies, etc, and still no luck. Can anyone suggest a solution other than "use IE" or "don't post to Metafilter"?
AskMe Coldfusion Error
AskMe throws a ColdFusion error when I'm not logged in, but works just fine when I am.
Anyone having trouble seeing all of the main page with Mozilla?
Anyone having trouble seeing all of the main page with Mozilla? I can see all the posts with IE, but with Mozilla (latest) I see one and only one post. Cleared cache, same problem...

Is it possible to log in to MeFi using the BlueBerry browser?
Is it possible to log in to MeFi using the BlueBerry browser? login_action.cfm just throws up a blank page.
Win/Firefox Error?
I recently had to switch (temporarily) from OSX/Safari-FireFox to Windows 2000/FireFox. Since then, every time I post a thread on the Front Page, I get an error message. Funnily enough, I then open another tab and see that the thread went to the Front Page anyway. But I get the error message every single time I post. See inside for text of error message.
Flat file generation stuff got the URL cut off
Go to this thread. When I click on the usernames, I don't get user pages, but a thread...
Cold Fusion cold shoulder leaves link confusion

I want to vote
I just got back from off-line travels and I want to vote in the Pres election contest. However the best I have been able to do it to get a page that tells me "Requested range not satisfiable. Does this mean the Floridicans have got my number?
Connection failure for non-logged-in users
Unless you're logged in, the site doesn't load. AskMefi loads though. Mefi and Meta get "connection failure" text on a white screen.
Am I the only one getting this error?
Does anyone else get a "No Harddisk in Drive" error in Mozilla when you try to follow the main link in this thread? I don't get that error on the other link in the post, or any of the other links on the blue.
Why does talespin.net have the same DNS as MetaFilter?
talespin.net = MetaFilter? Weird.
Firefox Bug
IE6 - opens new links in new window [as it's s'posed to];
Firefox 0.9.1 - doesn't.
I take it that's a FF bug, not a Mefi one?

Is anybody else getting an unstyled Metafilter?
Is anybody else getting an unstyled Metafilter? Suddenly my blue is white. Specifically, http://www.metafilter.com/styles/default.css appears to be MIA.
Wrongwaygoback Redirects to Metafilter
wrongwaygoback.com = MetaFilter. Huh?
Some problems with Atom feed
Atom feed. I've been trying to cobble some code together that'll do interesting things with the atom feed here but most times it comes up as mangled (Firefox says the same too). Any one else having problems? Any chance of it being fixed?
Time Zone Bug
My timezone doesn't work now.
Preview bug
When previewing a comment to a MeTa thread, the links to separate comments behind the time is broken, it links to
http://metatalk.metafilter.com/contribute/metadetail.cfm?link_ID=xxxx#yyyyyy
(which doesn't exist) instead of http://metatalk.metafilter.com/mefi/xxxx#yyyyyy
.Spell checker isn't checking spells for me
Spell checker isn't checking spells for me, it says it is but just does the 'trumpet fingering' thing for ages.
Erased My Profile
OK, I'm a dumbhead. I overwrote all the stuff in my profile page by accident. Neither the Wayback Machine nor Google have a cache of it. Is there any way to get it back?
Trackback Bug?
Is trackback broken? The last two times I've tried to trackback nothing's happened.

AskMe Bug
I know AskMeFi's a work in progress, but just a mention of a bug in case it hadn't been noticed yet: Using or
tags in AskMeFi breaks the layout in preview (I didn't post so I don't know if they'd get stripped or fixed in the actual post).
Spellchecker crashing browsers?
Is it just me, or is the spell-checker crashing other people's browsers, too? [mi]
Bug in Opera
The "my comments" "most recent comments" etc. box does not show up when this site is viewed with the opera browser. Or does it, and I just don't have mine set right? I struggled with it for a while, thinking I hadn't actually logged in. However, I was logged in. I could post comments. I accepted all cookies.
Ask MeFi is returning a "File not found: /index.cfm" error
Ask MeFi is returning a "File not found: /index.cfm" error. The blue and the grey seem to be fine though.
Cold Fusion error (March 2004)
strange: I just went to metafilter.com and got the following error:
Invalid CFML construct found on line 277 at column 2801.
I then went to ask.metafilter.com and got no error
I then logged in at ask.metafilter.com and now the blue works fine
I tried this with both Mozilla and IE

FYI: I fixed a small bug this morning. The html shortcuts were not showing up in firefox browsers but should now, and they seem to work fine on all three sites.
Firefox Bugs
I've switched to Firefox. I have my MeFi preferences set to open links in a new window. I have the Tabbrowser Preferences extension installed on firefox and everything set to open in new tabs, links on metafilter still bring up new windows. While I can just CTRL + click to open in a new tab, I'm wondering if this is a mozilla thing, or a mefi thing. Thanks.
Anyone else getting their new link/comment counter reset to zero on the first (main page) reload?
Anyone else getting their new link/comment counter reset to zero on the first (main page) reload? Since yesterday or so, any time I click through to a thread and then go back to the front, every thread is reporting all comments as read. Seems to be happening on the grey and green too.
Old Copyright Info
I notice the copyright information on The Grey, The Blue and The Green all say 2000-2003.
Weird Character Entity Behavior
If you include a character entity in text for preview then it is displayed correctly and appears (as the appropriate character) in the edit area. However, when you click post, the character is converted to "?" (ie. posting character entities is OK, but if they're previewed then they're converted to the equivalent extended character, which is not accepted by "post").
Logging in to ask sends one to metatalk
Logging in via the ask.metafilter.com login link sends one to metatalk.metafilter.com. Just something to think about when Ask is pruned from MeTa.
Login Problems
Can't log in via the blue using Firebird 0.7+.
I was able to log in, however, via Metatalk.

Bug in the timestamps in MeFi tabs.
When I view the front page in a mode other than "date" (ie "most comments", etc), the times in GMT are out by 8 hours.
Today's date is showing in 3 different places on Metafilter
No big deal really, but the Mefi front page is showing today's date at three different points in the postings column.

Cold Fusion error message
Gnarly ColdFusion error on MetaFilter homepage. Someone set up us the bomb! (error message inside)
Timezone Bug
Tried deleting cookies, logging out and in, but whilst MeFi shows my timezone as set in my preferences, MeTa is a different timezone. Frisbee... sorry... discuss.
I can't load a thread
I can't load the thread: http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/17848. I tried Safari and IE 5.2 for Mac.
Spellcheck Bug in Opera
Spell check deletes comment on exit [Opera 6.05]
Trackback Errors
Trackback in this thread is out of wack.
