Theme song won't stop playing on my phone
3There was a time when I could click the "Meh." header on my phone to refresh the page since Chrome changed things and it now requires an extra step to refresh. Now however, when I tap "Meh." the theme song starts playing. This wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but I keep forgetting about it until my phone starts blasting music. When this happens at changeover, the song continues to play even after I remember to click refresh (correctly) because of the slowness of the server and the new page not ever loading. Short of closing the page altogether, there doesn't seem to be a way to stop the song until it plays through.

Yeah, I think that feature is odd. there should be something else to click for the song and the logo should just refresh the page.
The Yahoo logo used to play the Yahoo jingle when you clicked on the ! in it, but they got rid of it because people now click logos to get back to the homepage. Meh's new logo song brought me back to those Yahoo days. Maybe clicking a certain part of the logo will do the song? The period would be perfect.
What a 21st century problem to have. Quite Meh.
Cheer up sucker!
Oh and on my phone, clicking the logo a second time stops playing the song.

RFC = request for comment. Usability addresses leaving "return to home page" function but double click from home page likely not a mobile browser solution. While mostly a joke there should be some serious discussion there too.
@snapster That's fucking hilarious and it's what I get for being less active on the forums recently and not reading every thread. Great work, @Shawn!
Are you using iOS? Because it uses the QuickTime player thingie. You have to swipe up the system tray thing where you can access the media controls.
Click the logo once, the music starts. Click it while the music is playing, the music stops. Double click on the logo and it refreshes the page.
