http://www.chow.com/boards/30 Sat, 24 Jun 2006 11:04:01 GMT Keep track of the lastest threads on Chowhound http://www.chow.com/topics/691229#5480595 It would be great if "sort by relevance" were the default. I always end up immediately re-running my search to sort by relevance. Pia Wed, 17 Mar 2010 19:42:15 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/691229#5480595 http://www.chow.com/topics/691855#5480302 I'm running on Windows XP, with IE8 and a really old version of FFX, so I guess I should upgrade that. While I was just re-testing now, I noticed in both browsers that you have to keep your cursor well away from that drop-down suggestion box and then it doesn't happen.... whatever you typed is searched. But if you hover over or even close by the box, the auto-suggestion plugs into the search field pronto. I just typed "steak" and then deliberately swept over the auto-suggestion box and got "steady stream" in the search field. But when I positioned my cursor well away, I got my steak results no problem. So, yes -- sensitive as someone mentioned above.

Sounds like it could potentially become a fantastic resource for the community as a whole - thank you and good luck! daveena Wed, 17 Mar 2010 15:33:44 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/694393#5479872 http://www.chow.com/topics/694464#5479470 Four days later, this is still an issue.

If there is a valid reason for the post deletion (we don't count being tired of seeing it in your My CHOW list as a valid reason) and the removal won't impact other posters' responses by making them appear to be out of context, we'll do our best to remove posts that have been self-reported.

And it didn't used to work - has the search function on Chow been improved? small h Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:07:21 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/694824#5476977 http://www.chow.com/topics/671118#5476832 another vote from Florida - we now have 2 boards (Miami-Ft Laud AND the rest of Florida) and still see 'where can we take grandma for breakfast' and 'cheap dining overlooking the ocean' type threads on both and either and many times posted on both because we are all confused. I find myself clicking on posts that may or may not be in my neighborhood because they don't state their location and because people are not sure where to post them. smartie Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:18:54 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/671118#5476832 http://www.chow.com/topics/694699#5475017 I've never seen the edit button on posts that are more than two hours old. nsxtasy Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:48:27 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/694699#5475017 http://www.chow.com/topics/655867#5468876 Jacquilynne, I understand my problem now. I am currently in Long Beach, and have no problems updating address placemarks when posting on the Los Angeles board. When I add a new post or reply to another post, the "Manage your links" bar appear automatically on top of the "Attach photos" bar. However, the "Manage your links" bar does not appear when I try to add/reply to a post in other (non-US?) boards, e.g. "China & Southeast Asia", "Australia/New Zealand", "UK/Ireland". During the pre-revamp days, we can do so, and it was very helpful to CHs travelling to those countries/continents as the address placemarks link to the Google Maps. Any chance of enabling the "Manage your links" bar for boards outside the US? klyeoh Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:02:37 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/655867#5468876 http://www.chow.com/topics/694128#5468334 Posts are showing up with time stamps three hours earlier that the actual post time.

I think of myself as being from NC, the Carolinas, or the South. I would be most likely to eat in NC, SC, VA and perhaps TN. I have clicked southeast a few times, but I do not see much with it grouped that way that could catch my interest.

Successfully linked for an establishment in Morgan Hill, CA, that is 5 minutes to the north of Gilroy. Looks like the "fuzzy" borders got reset too strictly and left Gilroy out in the cold. Here's the slideshow for the scoop on Lizarran, waiting for a link to post an eating report. http://www.flickr.com/photos/melaniewong/tags/lizarran030910/show Or should i post on the California board and ask for the thread to be moved? Will the link move with it? This thread on the SF Bay Area board should be linked to Lizarran Gilroy as well. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/693485 I am trying to help out by populating the bare shelves in the Restaurants & Bars section with info and discussions, but these shifting software problems aren't making it any easier.

If you are using a PC then I suggest you look into something like the free CCleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/ which clears your cache, empties your trash and deletes tracking cookies quickly, with no muss - no fuss. Seems to help my computer run better and open long threads on CH more quickly.

Of course, this means that it's easy for anyone in SA to just scan the Texas board for topics of interest. But it seems like there's a good case for SA to have its own board too. nsxtasy Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:27:43 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/693152#5458754 http://www.chow.com/topics/689973#5458292 Well, we've sometimes had problems with peoples cookies in the past where removing all the chow ones and starting fresh with new cookies helped, so I thought I'd suggest it as a possible option.

That way there are no problems. It sure would be better not to have to worry about it, though. nsxtasy Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:02:27 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/691889#5457161 http://www.chow.com/topics/693074#5457052 Why are no posts in the Great Lakes forum ( http://chowhound.chow.com/boards/72 ) showing up under a heading that says "Sunday March 7"? the forum listing shows four topics under the heading "Monday, March 08, 2010", and the topics below that are under the heading "Saturday, March 06, 2010". There are no topics under a heading for Sunday. However, as of right now, two of the topics listed under Monday were actually last updated on Sunday, not Monday: What's Best Real Deal chinese In Windsor/Detroit? - http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/679182 Milwaukee Old Europe on Monday Night? - http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/692772 nsxtasy Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:28:00 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/693074#5457052 http://www.chow.com/topics/692355#5454120 As someone who spends 4 days a week in soiuthern Connecticut and 3 days in central Mass, I have found outside of Worcester that Central Mass is a culinary wasteland.

I only end up on eGullet through random google searches; it feels very much like the typical BBS feeling there with the profiles, signatures, etc. and in that sense, feels "behind". the same can be asked (at least for NYers) whether they also participate on big sites like seriouseats.com and midtownlunch.com; there is plenty of cross-posting and sometimes people "reveal" their alteregos on the other sites but it just comes down to loyalty, building a following of sorts on a particular site, and just enjoying/not enjoying the community found on each one. another thing about eGullet (and correct me if I'm wrong); I believe it was created as a negative response to Chowhound. I just happen to be loyal to CH (although I still post occasionally on the other sites, but a fraction). with that said, I have bookmarked a crazy thread on eGullet referring to chinese red-cooking master sauce, and how it can be constantly heated over and over, into infinity; as Miss Needle points out, there is tons of cooking esoterica on eGullet which, if I was more of a kitchen nerd (and I am, but not enough), I'd be all over that site probably. bigjeff Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:21:43 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/689840#5444269 http://www.chow.com/topics/691431#5440518 Lots of discussion here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/578477 Caitlin McGrath Mon, 01 Mar 2010 23:46:30 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/691431#5440518 http://www.chow.com/topics/690344#5440300 You can always do a find for the current year (Ctrl+F or Cmd+F for Macs) or even current month/year.

I have tried a topic that has 609 posts on 3 different computers. All produced the same error message. It's a shame because these are obviously the most popular topics , then because it takes a little longer to downlaod it automatically goes into error mode.
