I'm getting nothin' but CF errors when I try to access Mefi.
I'm getting nothin' but CF errors when I try to access Mefi. Can still go here and to AskMe.
Connection Timeout members
Upon refreshing the home page, I noticed that MeFi has "Connection Timeout members". Searching the archives makes it seem like I may be unique in seeing this minor bug.
Getting an error when I submit an anonymous AskMe question
Getting an error when I submit an anonymous AskMe question. (Yes, I have an embarrassing question to ask.) [mi]
spell check is throwing me a cold fusion error.

The timezone slips occasionally.
PST slippage in the blue... Occasionally my time reference on MeFi gets whacked back to PST, though my preferences are EST. When I see the problem, I edit my profile (changing nothing), submit and ta-da, EST. Don't need no pony, just bringing it up. Happens ~ once a month.
I messed up some html with a single quote.
I inserted a single quote in a post on accident and the MeFi code that normally would be the rest of the page (i.e. all the buttons and such) showed up in my preview textbox.
Archived post error
Sometimes, whilst searching the archives, I find stuff like this -- just a heads up.
I've also found dead links in some older threads, that's probably inevitable. I wonder if they could be purged somehow and replaced with a nice mefi- message?

Where did my comment go?
Disappearing comment in this thread: I posted a perfectly normal comment after 40 Watt's first comment, and I know that I did indeed remember to hit "post" because, well, I actually saw the comment posted on the screen. But just now, going back to the thread, my comment is gone. Are gremlins afoot? Because certainly my "hey, thanks for the reminder, I'm going to get this for my nephew" couldn't be considered worthy of deletion...?
Adding tags to my old thread caused a mess.
I made my old thread unhappy when adding tags. Not sure how that happened.
Bug in old thread
This old thread gives me: Invalid CFML construct found on line 363 at column 99.
recordcount element error
MetaFilter spits out the following error, Element RECORDCOUNT is undefined in GET_TYPE. AskMeFi and MeTa work fine.
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.
An old thread is broken.
Open tag.
[Max field length is 100] Is a bad choice of words a derogation during Ask Mefi?
Connection failure members...
Just in case you haven't noticed:
"Connection failure members..."
"Connection failure members..."
Clicking the AskMetafilter link in the "posted by x to AskMetafilter" bit gives an error.

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.
I consistently get a weird error when i go to this thread.

Cfquery Errors
It's getting to the point where metafilter is unusable due to all the cfquery errors. It's almost as if there's a 50/50 chance the query will time out and bomb.
Several page errors on loading the blue
Surely I am not the only one noticing an unusual number of errors when trying to load pages from the blue side:
The request has exceeded the allowable time limit Tag: cfoutput
The error occurred in C:\metafilter sites\www.metafilter.com\header.cfm: line 189
Called from C:\metafilter sites\www.metafilter.com\front.mefi: line 149

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.

Weird TB ping problem
Ping ping ping! Weird TB ping problem, couldn't find anyone else having the same problem here in MetaTalk. I tried Trackbacking the thread (I linked to it in my post, and MT (yes, version 2.51) automatically found the TB URL) instead of cut and pasting the URL in the "URLs to Ping" post area, or using the MT bookmarklet.
Found a typo, deleted the MeFi TB URL in the "URLs to Ping" area when I re-saved, and it repinged Metafilter. Also strange: when I click on Previously Sent Pings in MT on the entry, it doesn't list that any were successfully sent. Haven't had this problem Trackbacking any other blogs, because when I send a ping to other sites, it appears to get sent "successfully," and no longer appears in the "URLs to Ping" area, it moves to the 'Previously Sent Pings" locale. Anyone else? I think the shuttle thread had this problem, too.

the ColdFusion finger
Weird. I can access MeFi just fine through status.metafilter.com or metatalk.metafilter.com, but www.metafilter.com has only been giving me the ColdFusion finger for a few days.
Error Occurred While Processing Request

HTML problems
Cryptic error with some browsers
Can't login to MeFi with Phoenix or Mozilla browsers: "The value "" cannot be converted to a number"
Threads and header display screwy
Minor bug? For some reason, threads between 22521 through 22549 are showing up in both Mozilla and IE (Win) as black text on a white background with a seriously screwy top bar. I haven't checked all threads in between, but threads before 22520 and after 22550 seem fine.
I got a big CF error
While trying to load the "stupid baby names" page: http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/22236#401840, I got a big CF error [more inside]
New posting page confusion
You are posting a link without a description, or a description without a link, please correct this The links are included, with brackets and tags, in the description as usual since I joined 2-ish years ago. What are we fishing for here?
You forgot to include a title, please correct this Did no such thing, included the text string "poo969" in the Link title: field. What are we fishing for here? Have we been studying bondage-and-discipline languages with Bucky Wirth? Just askin'.
PS, Search Metatalk "please correct this" Nothing was found with that search criteria, try searching again.

I've received JRun errors, Server Errors, and just plain "site not available" messages
Anything unusual (besides the window config mentioned below) going on with the site availability tonight? I've received JRun errors, Server Errors, and just plain "site not available" messages... I'm sure it's not on my end, but in case it matters, Mozilla 1.2, Windows XP.
login link gives cf error
If I go to login at the bottom of a thread in MetaTalk, the link gives me a CF error, but it works if I login on the index page. (Looks like an obsolete link or something easy to fix.)
ASCII display errors
I'm seeing these ? everywhere. It's maddening for those who post them (when they go unseen in the preview), and makes reading difficult. Is there anything that can be done about this? I don't just mean a programming solution, but what is it, specifically, that the users are doing which causes this?
MeTa throws up an error when given a bad link
Following a link from mini-wetlog I found a bug where MeTa throws up an error when given a bad link. In this case a quote on the end of the URL:
http://metatalk.metafilter.com/mefi/2418"
Archives error
I got the following error when trying to view the metatalk archives (OSX, NS7.0b1):
Element METATALK_LAST_VISIT is undefined in SESSION.
The Error Occurred in C:\metafilter sites\metatalk.metafilter.com\archived.mefi: line 40
Then, because I am a supergenius, I thought I'd just check the archives to see if anyone else had reported the problem.

Problem opening MeTa links in a new window in IE6.
IE6, running on Win98SE. I have "open links in a new window" selected in my profile customization, but they open in the same window anyway.
something wrong with the MetaFilter XML feed
There seems to be something wrong with the MetaFilter XML feed. I only get "posted by 'whoever ยป', time and date, and # of comments". Also the XML page says there is an error.
At the moment I can log into MetaTalk, but not MetaFilter
At the moment I can log into MetaTalk, but not MetaFilter. Is this a odd occurence on the server, or more likely, is my computer messed up?
Is anyone one else getting error messages?
Is anyone one else getting error messages every time they type a character in a commentbox at the bottom of a thread? Most upsetting : I blame Rusty. (Didn't happen to me while typing this post, though.)
Busted statistics
Is MetaFilter down for everybody else?
Is MetaFilter down for everybody else. I've been getting host not found errors all morning. I know Matt was planning to move his name server box. I'm just wondering if something in that process got hosed. If it is down, is it still available via an IP address -> I couldn't seem to find that either.
Testing testing, is this thing on (Dec. 2001)?
Test post -- I'm showing nothing posted in MeFi or MeTalk since 5:00 pacific... :: blows in microphone :: Is this thing on? :)

Bug in the search results.
Is it just me, or are the "Go to the detail view for this result" links on search results not scrolling to the anchor points?

The MetaFilter RSS feed is broken.
The MetaFilter RSS feed is broken. I just was wondering how you were populating the RSS, and got a malformed XML error. You have a stray "&" in one of the descriptions. Also, the "title"s aren't very title-like: "comments on 9412". Just FYI.
