http://www.chow.com/boards/40 Mon, 28 Apr 2008 19:08:43 GMT Keep track of the lastest threads on Chowhound http://www.chow.com/topics/669615#5207462 Nope, we don't. -- Jacquilynne, Community Manager for Chowhound Wed, 25 Nov 2009 16:22:35 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/669615#5207462 http://www.chow.com/topics/663117#5206972 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/640474 Here's a discussion of a Chinese restaurant called M&T in Flushing, Queens, that for some reason auto-links to a restaurant called Il Pasticcio in Savannah, Ga. It's been doing this for some time. I bring it up now only because someone just reminded me of it by updating the thread. This one makes Chow.com look especially stoopid. If that's a concern, the site crew should fix it. Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:57:09 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663117#5206972 http://www.chow.com/topics/668152#5206656 Good idea, thanks. Come to think of it, I did enter a place-less food provider by "repurposing" a dupe record, so that sounds like the way to go. Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:16:02 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/668152#5206656 http://www.chow.com/topics/669080#5206282 Thanks for info Wed, 25 Nov 2009 00:54:14 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/669080#5206282 http://www.chow.com/topics/669190#5205758 The blog feed at the bottom right hand corner of each chow page has been missing most of the time for a few days. Sometimes the columns to the left go awol too. I've cleared the cache in my browser several times. Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:30:26 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/669190#5205758 http://www.chow.com/topics/668356#5205752 That's right, stick a fork in it! And the site changes seem to have bumped up traffic considerably . . . maybe from each of us having to refresh multiple times when we get error messages or it might be real growth. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/www.chow.com Chowing down with the SF Bay chowhounds! http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/668213 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:28:17 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/668356#5205752 http://www.chow.com/topics/667401#5205713 Thanks, yes, I read that wrong. Can you tell I'm concerned about a bunch of micro-posts feeding from the R&B interface to the boards? Previously Chow HQ had said that it would wait and see before enabling that feature, and I hope that it will be looked at carefully before letting it happen. I'll mention that during I've been experimenting with using the "review of a specific restaurant" check-off when posting on the boards. Sometimes it takes, but mostly it doesn't. During this site speed slow-down recently, I'll get the spinning when it looks like my message won't post. When I refresh, it's there, but won't have fed to the R&B page. Here's one example, and for this one I tried to link to the restaurant in my reply, but that didn't take either even after a couple days. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/669002 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:17:33 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/667401#5205713 http://www.chow.com/topics/623789#5205486 Since most of the major problems with the latest install seem more or less in control, any updates on fixing this? It is really annoying. Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:08:22 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/623789#5205486 http://www.chow.com/topics/669261#5205364 >>> some kind of glitch in original post No, some sort of software glitch. For some reason I have never figured out some posts become un-editable. This is particularily true (and annoying) of Lists where maybe 1 out of 20 list items cannot be edited and the only thing to do is delete them and add them again. Sometimes the list description can't be edited either. This is true for this list where I would have liked to change the title to include the words "Part 1" All I get is the red "saving" which after five or more minutes goes away and the unedited title is restored. http://www.chow.com/lists/edit/15392 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:31:21 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/669261#5205364 http://www.chow.com/topics/669553#5205304 I thought I'd include the year in the title just to keep track of how long this will take to fix. As of this post it has been seven weeks. On 10.07/2009 Chowhq wrote "Thanks for this feedback. The problem is that the link to a place options are limited to 60 miles from SF, which we now see is far too small a radius, so we will alter that so that healdsburg and other SFBay Area places beyond 60 miles can be found. " On 10/27 a poster wrote "Hello, any timetable for fixing this? You've shut out those of us in the North Bay/Wine Country and South Bay/Gilroy from using links. Fwiw, the border between Sonoma County and Mendocino County, which is the northern edge of the SF Bay Area region is approx. 100 miles from San Francisco. The southern boundary of Santa Clara County is about 80 miles from SF." So the tech team has had the parameters that would work for the Bay Area for a few weeks now. Is it a big problem to fix? Is it even on the list to be fixed? Original post on Site Talk which has never been moved to Techinical Help How long before an added restaurant should be available to review? http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/657819 I'll keep checking in for progress or a reply Tue, 24 Nov 2009 19:11:36 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/669553#5205304 http://www.chow.com/topics/661649#5204472 The original record for Koi Garden in Dublin has disappeared. It seems to have been merged with its sibling Just Koi, as threads now redirect to this place record. http://www.chow.com/restaurants/8576/just-koi A new Koi Garden record was created by the database provider, but it doesn't have any of the linked discussions. Please restore the original Koi Garden record.

When you click "Mark as Duplicate," the duplicate record is merged with the original, and no longer exists. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:22:31 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/669010#5202938 http://www.chow.com/topics/668688#5202686 No more. I suspected a hack, and now the ChowGeniuses have fixed it. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:11:50 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/668688#5202686 http://www.chow.com/topics/668702#5197192 These seem to be more broken than everything else on the site since they give consistant Chow application errors http://www.chow.com/digest/2009/11/barbecues-second-coming%e2%80%a8/ http://www.chow.com/digest/2009/11/bring-a-french-chef-into-your-home%e2%80%a8/ Since those will be in the next Digest email on Monday, I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

Firefox 3.5.3 on a Mac. pages keep timing out or i get messages saying it can't connect to the server...and i've noticed that a lot of the new posts/topics are appearing multiple times, so something tells me everyone is having issues. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:04:32 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/668450#5194920 http://www.chow.com/topics/663451#5192152 Yes, I have been following your posts and those of others on the other threads too. I guess I just keep hoping that someone (with power to do something) out there is actually paying attention. Alas, it seems not. And I agree with you (and rworange too) that this is a huge turnoff both for new users as well as for regular posters. To echo you all, it certainly does make it seem that no one at Chow/CH/CBS gives a damn. Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:41:00 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663451#5192152 http://www.chow.com/topics/656558#5192124 Actually, *all* of the restaurants on the list were out of the area. Worked OK today, so maybe it's fixed. Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:26:50 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/656558#5192124 http://www.chow.com/topics/666781#5191382 Me too, this has been happening several times a day for the past 2 or 3 weeks. Very annoying. Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:38:13 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/666781#5191382 http://www.chow.com/topics/667921#5189614 Deleted cookies and signed in again and now all seems ok Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:20:16 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/667921#5189614 http://www.chow.com/topics/665051#5185654 Oh, it's definitely been broken since the feature was rolled out. Although maybe we're not talking about the same thing. I'm talking about this page http://www.chow.com/new_posts/12 (my home board) There's no link to view older discussions... so on a busy board like Boston, if I don't check it at least twice a day or so, I miss older threads. And I am absolutely positive this has been a problem forever. The other way you can read the board looks similar but isn't, at http://chowhound.chow.com/boards/12 And that show 50 most recent threads, and then you'd click on "Next>>" or the numbers to see older discussions.

None of my edits in the past week will stick. The screen displays the "saving" message for ever and ever....

It's still appearing in the upper left and doesn't work. Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:05:24 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/665870#5183287 http://www.chow.com/topics/667268#5182921 I cannot print recipes. I choose to print, I select 8-1/2" x 11" and select print and nothing happens. This is something new in the last couple of weeks. I am having this problem with both Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Hope that helps. Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:25:37 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663195#5174985 http://www.chow.com/topics/666515#5174850 i've had the same Edits problem tonight as you. (Hi there, btw!) Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:23:31 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/666515#5174850 http://www.chow.com/topics/663368#5173698 UPDATE- i think the problem has been solved. The formerly little red shields now appear as pushpins next to the restaurant names in my post. Thanks all for your help and interest. Much appreciated. Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:05:27 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663368#5173698 http://www.chow.com/topics/666400#5173518 Is it possible that you were logged out when you couldn't see the report option? Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:10:30 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/666400#5173518 http://www.chow.com/topics/666098#5172296 Until the post is submitted, it doesn't exist on our system. We've all had that happen and we know how frustrating it is! Some posters have suggested composing long posts in a word processor or mail program, which also has the benefit of access to a spell check function. Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:22:11 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/666098#5172296 http://www.chow.com/topics/663739#5167510 Here's another one: http://www.chow.com/restaurants/16751/franklin-square-wine-bar Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:23:04 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663739#5167510 http://www.chow.com/topics/661789#5164292 I've entered a number of records for restaurants whose web sites happen to link to OpenTable. As a convenience to Chow users, I've gone ahead and added the OpenTable link to the records, as you have. But I don't see it as our job to monetize the site. When site employees run across records with OpenTable links that don't include the Chow referral info, they can add it themselves. Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:26:01 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/661789#5164292 http://www.chow.com/topics/664578#5161852 Things showing up in the sticky topics section is a bug, but not a serious one -- they're not actually sticky, they just appear in that section for a couple of hours. I'm not sure about the random chronological order issue, though. The first topic is actually sticky, while things underneath it appear to be in the proper order, at least right now. Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:50:10 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/664578#5161852 http://www.chow.com/topics/664936#5159093 It's a small bug for users who use some browsers and aren't using the same time settings as the servers. It has no real effect on the functioning of the site. Engineering's looked at it a couple of times, but fixing it proved ... complicated ... and since it wasn't actually changing anything function-wise, they've never gone through with a fix. Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:08:08 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/664936#5159093 http://www.chow.com/topics/664727#5155842 When I try to reply to a post, it just scrolls up to the top of the thread and there's no place for me to reply. I've logged out and back in again but it's the same. Been going on for about an hour or more. Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:32:04 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/664727#5155842 http://www.chow.com/topics/663342#5150929 All the above-reported errors occurred at least once today on my work computer (some version of IE). Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:17:42 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663342#5150929 http://www.chow.com/topics/664203#5150273 That did it, thanks! Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:51:55 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/664203#5150273 http://www.chow.com/topics/663886#5150080 I can't seem to successfully get a post through with a restaurant link at all - the rest of the reply goes through, but the circle keeps spinning and the link never shows up in the post. Example: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/651825#5150069 This post should have a link for Picasso that I added using the checkbox. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:53:19 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663886#5150080 http://www.chow.com/topics/664023#5148400 We've removed the link. The problems with the Auto LInk feature are being discussed in other threads on this board. There's no way to turn it off, but the Engineers have been made aware that it's not working the way it should. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:35:47 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/664023#5148400 http://www.chow.com/topics/663434#5145775 Okay, RicRios beat me to it. I'm guessing there are some tags in a TextEdit document that the server isn't allowing, but posting it into a plain-text-only email strips those out and makes the file digestible. Anyway, the review is now on the LA Board, under "My Saint Amour review". Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:53:12 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663434#5145775 http://www.chow.com/topics/663518#5144007 If you got an error before it posted, we don't have likely have it. The last thing we can see from you on the PNW board is from the 20th. Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:56:32 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663518#5144007 http://www.chow.com/topics/663433#5142052 I'm sorry if this is brought up somewhere else, but while response time is better than yesterday it is till not too good for me and it will take me hours to read everything on site talk and techinical help Last night I did a reprt for Commis and gave it five stars. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/663205 BTW, I'm leaving all the spelling errors in here. When I type it takes a while for the actual letters to show up now and some are getting dropped. So that's why the line above says rprt not report. I sweated over that report. It seems if you edit a restaurant the name of the restaurant is left blank in the review section. The stars are there. The check box is there. But when you save and don't notice the lack of a restaurant name, it gets dropped from the restaurant database. So each and everytime I saved I made sure that restaurant name was in the restaurant box. Thins morning I signed on and there were some comments. Not only was Commis linked another restaurant showed up called "My Favorite Cafe" Ok, fine ... someone must have typed that phrase and there apparantly is a SF cafe called that. I can't find the words "my favorite cafe: either in my report or any of the replies ... but whatever. It was hours after I could edit my review. As of this morning, there was a link in the report to Commis and looking at the restaurant record my report was there with a five stars. All is well with the world. BUT NO I come back tonight. I read a topic on Techincal Help and I'm going to use the example of "My Favorite Cafe" which is showing up all over the SF board, as an example of links gone wrong. I compen up my report. ALL links are gone including Commis. I look at the Restaurant record. NO five star reviews. So I write this up. I'm going to link to the restaurant record. Now the stars appear though the link is still missing in my report. I get out of the restaurant record again. The link to my review is gone. Open, close, open close ...etc. Stars show up sometimes, other times not. The only constant is the actual report no longer has the link to Commis displayed Is it possible that when someone replies to a report and removes the link to the restaurant name in their reply, in this case Commis, that the link to that restaurant record is removed from the original post and all replies? Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:43:43 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663433#5142052 http://www.chow.com/topics/663002#5141370 I got that spam too, but it's not at the address I currently use for Chowhound, it's at the address I used to use when we had the option to input our email addresses and have them show on our posts. So if that's the address you used to use, it probably got harvested like mine did. Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:35:25 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663002#5141370
