MeTa post: Bug in just one FPP.

It had no effect; disabling Greasemonkey (through Tools>Add-ons) left me linkless. (Also, NoScript is set to allow all sources of javascript in MetaFilter to run.)

Checking Firefox in safe mode is going to take a bit. Back in a little while....

I was wrong. That was much easier than I thought. I killed all the extensions in safe mode, and it still came up without links.

No, IE doesn't help. I checked the firewall's ad blocking feature (Norton) and none of the names that show in the status bar as MeFi renders (I think some of those are for ads....) show up as prohibited.

Yes, I almost blushed when I listed those, blacklite, but in my own defense let me say that a couple of them come with Firefox, and that at least it's nowhere near as bad as this.

majick...you're beautiful. That was it! The link was completely zapped by the ad blocker. It reappeared when I shut it off (along with the link html in the page source.) Jiminy christmas, at one point I even checked the OP's profile to see if the link had gotten kicked over there somehow (clutching at straws), read "...there never was an enemies list." and began to wonder.... (Well, no.) Thank you all very much. I'm gonna go buy a different firewall.

MeTa post: It's the New Madrid Fault!

Just found this discussion. Woke me in Urbana, Illinois. I've been through one before, in 1974 on the fourth floor of a dormitory in Urbana. I hadn't been through one before, and it was high up in a large building. Had everyone rushing into the hallway, wide-eyed at each other. Including me. This one shook the small apartment building I'm in right now, about as much; less to fall on you and I recognized it wasn't even going to raise any dust. I (pretty much) fell back asleep. Here's a USGS... [more]

Often the best posts seem to come from a user sharing her particular interests and expertise.

I agree with LarryC and amyms.... I joined a few months ago, and after having made a few posts I'd say the best thing to do is just be yourself. A well-liked post leaves you with a warm glow, the chance of being deleteded... [more]
