DHTML Popup Problems
The DHTML popups are driving me batty, and they won't go away. More inside.
Thread Error
This thread produces an error. Error text inside.
TextAd graph is dead
The TextAd graph has gone belly-up. I want, nay demand, fancy graphs to go with my Ad expense, and all I got was this lousy error:
The chart could not be generated due to an error in the graphing engine.
The error occurred in C:\metafilter sites\www.metafilter.com\adsystem\log_report.cfm: line 218

Popup Ad on MeFi
Am I the only one who has gotten a popup ad on the blue page?
Timestamps in wrong timezone
I'm logged in, but I'm still seeing timestamps in PST (I'm in EST, and my customize page still says that.)
(Win2K/IE6)...and at work so there may be firewall issues.)

Date problem when not logged in
A helpful lurker pointed out to me that when you aren't logged in, there are multiple "June 5th"s on the front page.
HTML Formatting
Comment window tooltips (bold, italic, link) appear, but are nonfunctional. Mozilla 1.3/WinXP.
CFHTTP and CFML errors
This thread is giving me errors.
Mozilla Preview Issue
Anyone else having problems with comment preview in Mozilla 1.3?
Opera and Titles
Wierd problem involving Opera 7.1 and the Title tag. The thing don't seem to be showing up, regardless of whether the dhtml toggle is on or off.
Strange "surfing" behavior has user asking: is everything okay?
I have been getting 404s when clicking the links to some threads, and when I hit the back button I get a message saying I was going back to a secure setting. Is everything okay?
Trouble loading the front page, and being redirected.
I tried to load up metafilter earlier and it was taking a while. I noticed at the bottom of my explorer window it said something like "Opening page http://www.b4ta.com/metafilter" Then the page failed to load entirely. I'm confused.
Question Marks in Titles
MeFi tag list down?
The list of MeFi-tags seems to be down. Anyone got a copy?
Time Zone Issue
The clocks went forward an hour in the UK at the weekend, so the GMT timing on posts is now an hour too early ...
Missing image in MeTa markup
meta threads include a reference to http://metatalk.metafilter.com/mefi/images/1space.gif which isn't available (it doesn't affect the page rendering, as far as i can see, but i maybe it's adding load to the server) (and, incidentally, that error page - which is generated but not normally visible - has some weird html, with a head element somewhere in the middle).
Old Copyright Notices
Copyright notices are old...
I just happened to notice that the copyright notices are for 1999-2002 in MeFi and 1999-2001 in MetaTalk... just a heads up on that.

Search is broken
MeFi Search appears to be out to lunch [More Inside]
Can we change our passwords?
Is there a way for a user to change their account's password? No pressing need or anything, just wondering, as I like to change my various passwords from time to time.
Java-script bug in captions
I've found a bug in the new javascript captions that come up on links with title attributes - in Phoenix/Mozilla, if I ctrl-click on a link to open it in a new tab, the caption stays up, and the only way to make it go away is to reload the page.
Comments busted again
These two comments pages, 22602 and 12831, seem to be seriously distorted. Interestingly I found them both via Janne's userpage.

The RSS Feed appears to have been fried by a rogue ampersand

The 'local time' feature doesn't seem to be sticky
The 'local time' feature introduced a while back doesn't seem to be sticky. [more]...
Time Zone Bug
I'm not seeing my time zone on the home page, or on comment pages — I'm seeing PST.
Mozilla Issues
is anyone else having problems posting in mozilla? i post, click preview and nothing is there.
I logged out and now I can't log back in
I logged out, since I'm not using my home computer, and now I cannot even see the site, much less log back in. I managed to sneak into meta and log on, but I can't get to the mefi front page. Help! [more inside]
Time Limit Error
Since the start of December, whenever I've written a post for the front page, previewed it, then hit the final 'Post' I get this error, which says the 'request has exceeded the allowable time limit'.. and this occurs on the line where weblogs.com is pinged. My posts do make it to the front page but I just get this error.
Someone reported the same error six months ago, but it appears to have started again..

Temporary IRC Relocation
The irc server turlyming seems to be down, so come on over to irc.undernet.org channel #mefi.
IRC is Down
Ack! The metafilter irc channel is down. How am I ever going to get my fix of mindless chat?
when I click "Back" I go to last weekend
Infinitesimal, weird and probably just me: over on MetaFilter, when I click "Back" from a thread it takes me to this weekend's We're still working on the upgrade notice. [IE 6, W2KPro]
RSS feeds and bugs
Two observations and a question. [more outside]
Searching Metafilter
Searching Metafilter: on first search, threads and users only. Thereafter, other options appear. Bug, or crap browser (IE5.5, W98)?
Userpage Error
I am trying to add information to my userpage and I get the following error:
Variable USER_MATCH is undefined.
The Error Occurred in C:\metafilter sites\www.metafilter.com\contribute\customize_action.cfm: line 59

Fix Bad HTML, Please
Fake markup = unneeded closing tags? Anyways, the text layout is broken and the font's screwy. Please fix.
Danke.
Danke.
Post opens print dialog
I know it has been discussed before, but this post's link to the light version does something different: it brings up the print dialog [ie 6/xp and moz 1.0/xp]. I'd prefer the regular version to a page that decides to open the printer dialog for me.
MetaTalk Login Bug
MeTa login problem. I get this, when I try to log into MeTa from the login link at the bottom of a thread. I have no trouble logging in from the main MeTa page though.
Mozilla Disappearing Form
In Mozilla 1.1, when previewing a comment on metafilter, the comment form itself disappears (the text box and buttons). This, of course, means that you can't post a comment with Mozilla 1.1.
Characters turning into question marks.
Can any one see what is behind the box? (?)
I can't. I have tried every browser I have on two platforms, OS X and WinXP. Is this case for most people, and if so, why do people keep posting like that?

RSS Problems
Does anyone else use the rss feed? I've tried to use it with a news ticker with little success. [more]
Bugs in Opera
Two things: 1) In Opera the spellcheck appears to be deleting my posts.
2) In the Opera browser the main page, but not metatalk or any of the comments, is blinking and resetting my scroll bars. It does look kinda cool but....

Can't login to MetaTalk
Mozilla 1.0/Windows 98:
Can't login to MetaTalk: get a can't find username/password message.
In MetaFilter: shortcut buttons below comment box (link, etc.) are not there.
Using Mr. Gates' product, things work just fine.

Can't log in from the MeTa front page.
Clicking the metatalk link on the front page gave me the metatalk banner and the message below. I was finally able to log in to metatalk via the "category list" button in the banner. No doubt this is Godzilla-related.
Should I be able to comment using lofi?
are all threads on lofi supposed to be deleted? i thought the change yesterday was that comments remained in deleted threads, but today i've noticed that i cannot post to any thread on lofi, even if they are active on the main page.
Deleted thread notice
I am very impressed with the new server.
I am very impressed with the new server. One bug: Mefi blue and Metatalk grey/brown are not nearly as vivid as they used to be. If I enable colorsync on IE, things look fine, but that was never necessary before "(and AOL seemingly prevents me from keeping colorsync on). Can this be corrected?
thanks, matt
Matt, the new server is fantastic and you've been burning through bugs at a remarkable rate. I know you've been working steadily for several days now. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say how much I appreciate all your work.
Why don't you unplug now and go have a nice dinner? None of the bugs I've seen posted today seem that serious, and I suspect lots of them pre-date the upgrade.

Weird Symbols in Posts
All right, I'm on netscape 4.7, on a macintosh. Is this the reason everything I post ends with weird symbols?
Searching with Quotation Marks
Words or phrases enclosed in quotation marks (e.g. "too much") are ignored by the search app, while the the same words work fine when used without the quotes. What gives?
'Jump to the comment in this thread' links should be in
When viewing the comments a user has made, it would be nice to have the jump to the comment in this thread links in order. That way when you can read their comments, it makes sense. Before I realized they were out of order, it was rather confusing.
