Metatalktail Hour: I am confusion
For this week's metatalktail hour topic, brainwane would like to know, "what is the artwork that gave you the most dissonance between what you expected based on the title and what you actually got?" [more inside]

Are unicode image topic lines really such a good idea? Noticed a couple posts recently that would certainly be worth searching/reviewing at a later date with just an image for a post title. Well I just noticed that the later example was "fixed" but was that mod intervention?
I don't get "chatfilter"
I'll call me J
This is just a gentle request for posters of RelationshipFilter -- please use names, even made up ones, instead of letters. [more inside]
Whoa - security/cookie issues?

Uh oh.
I didn't make this comment, but it claims I did. Database corruption?
NOT MEFI-IST
"My comments" by thread por favor.
AskMe coming out confusion
Just curious, do other mefites think the situation/question in this thread is clear? Was it a badly worded post or not understanding what "coming out" means?
Please help me understand this.
"This post was deleted for the following reason: this is 4-5 years old, the woman was fine, just knocked the wind out of her. It's from Georgia I think."
Please help me understand this.
Please help me understand this.
We need a [comment deleted] feature

Computer not recognizing iPod
I have a 20GB 3G IPOD with 4,000 songs. All of a sudden my computer will not recognise it when I plug the IPOD into the USB port. I tryed to use updater but that won't recognise my player either.I can still listen to my songs, it just won't hook up. Any ideas? Cheers to all!
Why does this user's single MeTa post not match the post in the thread?
I'm calling myself out and then wandering away
My latest FPP might raise a few eyebrows and get called out here on MetaTalk. I just wanted to say here first therefore that I've left a trailing empty link at the post's conclusion on purpose. Yeah, I looked at the guidelines and I don't think this breaks the rules. And yes I have a legitimate reason for leaving the empty link, although I want to wait before disclosing what that is here on MetaTalk. I am doing this for the better of MeFi members however.

meta points to askme
The older and newer links in the bottom of MeTa threads are pointing to AskMeFi threads rather than MeTa ones. I think the plumbing's exposed.
not that I'm complaining. I love our pony
Similar usernames confuse some readers
On a recent MeTa thread, Vidiot got mixed up over crunchburger and crunchland. Earlier, someone else had done the same with specialk420 and dejah420. Obviously it's imperative that Matt immediately ban similar-sounding user names. [More inside...]
Hey, what's going here?
Hey, what's going here? I read a very long fpp, with a comment inside saying it was too long. Now the comment has been axed, the post stays and two more very long fpps are there....
is something amiss?
is something amiss?
Now this is weird.
Now this is wierd. I posted the thread Is a hack a bug or a new feature? And no, this can't be on Metafilter, because it's been hacked.. And then it disappeared...
There are two of us MeFiers in one office.
There are two of us MeFiers in one office. We use different computers, but we both go through the same firewall and therefore have the same IP address. From time to time, MeFi will get our cookies confused, and log on the wrong person. Can anything be done here?
confusion among similar-looking usernames
Back when I was a regular on the #jeopardy IRC channel, I'd occasionally use the nickname a1exbot to cause confusion with alexbot. Oh, it was great fun. But efaper's attempt to create a straw man's troll for efader is less cool.
Probably no way to counter this. Maybe user profiles can have a born-on date like so many bottles of Bud? This way, old-timers can get the cred they deserve (teehee!), and it can be clear whether a username had been generated that morning for immoral purposes.
