http://www.chow.com/boards/40 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:08:05 GMT Keep track of the lastest threads on Chowhound http://www.chow.com/topics/570374#4302864 I had the same problem up until an hour ago. It was so bad that I hated to come on this site. Downloaded Foxfire and problems are over. Have to get used to a new browser though. Bill Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:11:00 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/570374#4302864 http://www.chow.com/topics/585717#4302322 'New' markers are showing you posts you haven't read yet. You posted it, so you've read it. Other people would have seen that post marked as 'new' until they had read it. Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:44:01 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/585717#4302322 http://www.chow.com/topics/578504#4302166 How about letting me use my laptop to check chowhound. I get automatically redirected to the qwapi site. I can only check from my laptop at home. Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:38:40 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/578504#4302166 http://www.chow.com/topics/584846#4302051 Hrmm. That's an unusual problem. The first can be just an issue of where you start -- if you go to the sign-up page and then to the login page, it'll direct you back to the sign-up page since that's where you came from. But if you came from the front page and got prompted to log in, it should send you back there. Can you give me a specific walkthrough of what you're experiencing? The URL of the page you start on, the URL of the page you're on when you're entering your login information, and the URL of the page you end up on afterwards would probably help. For the latter problem, can you be more specific about where? A copy of the URL you started from and the one you're getting redirected to would help there, as well.

The profile yielded no info either, but thanks anyway. Tue, 06 Jan 2009 21:02:52 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/584978#4301403 http://www.chow.com/topics/584194#4300818 It's just you... LOL I've been wiating 1/2 hour to read a particular reply to a post that shows it's been posted but still isn't in the thread....Yawn. Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:24:48 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/584194#4300818 http://www.chow.com/topics/585132#4298554 Thanks for your reply,I found my posts ! Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:51:37 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/585132#4298554 http://www.chow.com/topics/584703#4298039 Naw... Technical Help? I just go to areas that have pretty pictures of food. Mon, 05 Jan 2009 20:24:42 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/584703#4298039 http://www.chow.com/topics/576717#4297719 Finally got back to this post (I haven't had much online time recently). Thanks for the quick reply, Jacqulynne! Sure enough, quotes seem to work now - I had given up on using them in the past - but this search example still demonstrates the problem: Most of the hits are on "lo and (behold)" instead of "los andes". Luckily, there are only 15 hits, so I can actually find what I'm looking for - in this instance. My main comment still stands - the inexact/approximate matching makes the search function unusable, unless one is lucky enough to be searching for a unique word. As an example, here's my attempt (using quotes) to find "Friendly's" restaurants on the east coast. The results include "friend", "friends", "friend's", "friends'", and "friendly". Because these words occur so often in so many posts, I can't tell if there are any posts about Friendly's. http://chowhound.chow.com/search?search[query]=%22friendly%27s%22&search[class_names]=Topic&Search.x=47&Search.y=17&search[from]=10+years+ago&search[to]=now&search[sort_mode]=descending&search[boardgroup_id]=6&search[board_id]= Is there a way to search for an exact word or phrase, without the fuzzy matching? If not, the search function is so unusable that I would call it broken. Thanks, Anne Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:02:22 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/576717#4297719 http://www.chow.com/topics/585100#4296240 The feature doesn't always work for everyone. There may be some kind of conflict between your browser/OS/AVP and the upload script.

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:44:08 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/584690#4292008 http://www.chow.com/topics/584488#4290176 I remember some time ago, you could do a search and the item you were looking up would be highlighted so it was easy to find in the thread. Did this feature disappear? I hope not. It was easy to just scroll down to find the name of a place you were interesting in researching without having to read through the entire topic. If you can still do this, how can I find this feature? Thanks. Fri, 02 Jan 2009 19:50:07 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/584488#4290176 http://www.chow.com/topics/584298#4288247 Thanks.

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:55:41 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/581487#4284811 http://www.chow.com/topics/582802#4282608 I think I a m running into that problem this morning! I can't find my reply to Foodchic. Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:44:35 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/582802#4282608 http://www.chow.com/topics/551588#4279175 Yeah. Now I know for the future. Don't say anything! (g) This is a stubborn and vexatious little problem. Mon, 29 Dec 2008 11:59:41 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/551588#4279175 http://www.chow.com/topics/582068#4277211 We'll make sure we mention the work around next time - good point. With the holidays, we're all around a little less than usual! The mods are able to alert Engineering when this happens to the recipe section and they do do something to fix it, which is what happened on the 26th. Sun, 28 Dec 2008 11:52:30 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/582068#4277211 http://www.chow.com/topics/582548#4276663 I'm still not able to replicate this problem, unfortunately (or, fortunately, really) in IE6 or Firefox. I'll raise a ticket, but it doesn't seem to be a high priority issue as it's not affecting many people, so it's not likely to be addressed until after our winter break. Sun, 28 Dec 2008 01:35:11 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/582548#4276663 http://www.chow.com/topics/582849#4273760 Thanks!

Sichuan is the official pinyin romanization for 四川 to spell the name of the Chinese province and should be used.

Who would have thought to search Nazareth for a Brazilian steak house.

How to do this, please? Thanks! Fri, 19 Dec 2008 20:03:15 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/581449#4260049 http://www.chow.com/topics/577930#4259943 Broken for me now. Fri, 19 Dec 2008 19:31:35 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/577930#4259943 http://www.chow.com/topics/581093#4257216 On the search results page, there's an option to limit your results to once section of the site. Or you can go directly to the search page and start by setting those options: http://www.chow.com/search Here's an example of a search for 'chicken' in Ingredients: http://www.chow.com/search?search[query]=chicken&search[class_names]=Ingredient&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&search[from]=10+years+ago&search[to]=now&search[sort_mode]=relevance And here, using the title option for just the ingredient entry named chicken: http://www.chow.com/search?search[query]=title%3Achicken&search[class_names]=Ingredient&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&search[from]=10+years+ago&search[to]=now&search[sort_mode]=relevance Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:34:41 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/581093#4257216 http://www.chow.com/topics/580163#4251309 Right, that's the pure "turn everything upside down" approach. Which has something to be said for it. The problem is, it can always happen that the most recent post in your arrangement is 1Biz, which will still be near the bottom. So it doesn't satisfy the initial requirement: new always at top. But looking down to wizard's latest post ( :) ) he brings up the point of mobile usage. Where getting to the meat course first is really important and indented threading on a tiny screen is horrible. Last-post-first-and- screw-the-threading is probably a very useful option to throw into the mix there.

After you post, the software actually 'fakes' your new post -- showing you where it would be on the thread as you're viewing it. If you hit reload, then you're seeing your actual post in the current thread. Sometimes in some browsers, that 'fake' post doesn't look right, but usually it's fixed once you reload.

Please check the email account that you registered with. Mon, 15 Dec 2008 16:44:37 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/580199#4247803 http://www.chow.com/topics/580190#4247613 Like many old users, I use hot posts/unread posts as my main access point to the site. Ive got two problems with its functionality - (1) if I even open a hot posts window for a board, all the posts subsequently are not shown, even if I didnt have a chance to view them. These items should continue to be shown as long as I have not opened the thread to view new posts, i.e. the "new" market disappears. (2) less important but still annoying, if I want to post on a board, I have to exit that board interface on hot posts and re-enter it through the regular board menu list. There ought to be some link or functionalilty enabling posting right off "hot posts" making these two changes would make hot posts much more user-friendly.

I know it's not fixed. I was trying to add a new restaurant to the San Francisco Bay Area places.. Green Papaya: 825 Mission (at Fourth St.), 345-8881. Vietnamese.

I've tried the back button, I've tried refreshing, I don't know what else to do. I hate to whine, but dang, there's a lot to re-read. Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:38:27 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/579099#4236883 http://www.chow.com/topics/578968#4235739 We don't allow posters to post ads on Chowhound. We did remove the post you made advertising your business. It seems you are talking about the listing in our "Places" database. We do allow business owners to use that database to provide basic, factual information about their businesses but please don't consider it a tool for advertisement. We do have a technical glitch right now where some posters have trouble editing Place pages, so we've gone ahead and made that change for you.
