MetaTalk

I was surprised this morning when I had to log back into MF. I go to Ask first. I clicked to sign in and then was dumped back to the main Ask page, still not logged in. I tried a couple more times. Then I went to the blue and I was logged in. I went back to Ask, shows logged out. I clicked on a question and I was logged back in. [more inside]

So, when I am on the blue, I see the "Metafilter" link up in the menu bar. And it seems that the "ilfilter" part of that link is not the same as the "MetiF" part has bolding that the ifilter part does not. Am I just losing my mind? Anyone else noticed this?

It's time for another thread for sharing of all our happy news and experiences. Positive vibes here only!! I'll start--I finally got my promotion at work, after years of waiting!! (The younger girl was given more hard work so she could be promoted first, because she was the daughter of a VP...etc...) What's your happy news?

I would like to update the US Voter Support Page that I put in the MetaFilter Wiki prior to the November 20204 election. (See here for the original MetaTalk post about this page.) This includes getting rid of broken links, adding new organizations, and deleting organizations that are no longer active. [more inside]

I am wondering what the memberships' sentiments are on the use of AI services to answer questions in Ask MetaFilter. Is this something that people think is great or grating? Is this something that we should just accept going forward or ban for the foreseeable future? Maybe you have a nuanced take on the matter? [more inside]

Could we make a Mefi app? I know some people dislike the reddit and bluesky ones but personally I spent more time on my phone than on my computer.

A recent Ask about JD Salinger sticks out to me as very un MeFi somehow. The question itself together with the OP's follow-up responses felt kinda Facebook: "Bold claim: come at me!" [more inside]

Update on the beta version of the new site. See notes inside.

QUICK UPDATE (April 5, 1:05pm ET): As of right now, the staging site still throws a password error when you try to sign up, so it's not possible to test logged-in behaviors. We're aware, but kirk is out of town and unavailable to fix. Feel free to check other parts of the staging site in the meantime. [more inside]
