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/665051#5164385 Unfortunately this bug has been around for a long time and doesn't seem to ever make it into the priority queue. It's pretty annoying. My best guess is that not enough posters use that feature to make it worth their while. I've said in the past that I think this bug should be prioritized because it affects primarily the site's longest and most active contributors but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:27:47 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/665051#5164385 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.

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/656558#5161836 Thanx J. I'm mostly using the site on mobile and it's just too painful to deal with the dupes I run across inthat format. Glad to hear abt this. Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:46:25 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/656558#5161836 http://www.chow.com/topics/663117#5159623 another ... a mention of the Union Square greenmarket generates a map-post for Union Square Cafe. Seriously not the same thing. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/663879 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 01:32:13 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663117#5159623 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/661649#5156012 BTW the Ssam Bar record now includes a photo from the now-missing Milk Bar record.

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/663451#5155092 To the technical staff: Just to second squid kun ... Would you people please turn off the google maps feature? It is absolutely horrible that CH can't seem to figure out the difference between Manhattan and Brooklyn in pretty much every post. (See here for an example of two restaurants in Manhattan and both being shown in Brooklyn: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/664646 ). The poor out-of-towners looking at these maps will be utterly confused. If you can't get the information right, you should at least turn off the map feature.

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/663739#5150034 I just set the zip and state, so if that's the case, it should work after whatever interval it takes for changes to be rolled out to the search. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:41:27 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663739#5150034 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/663368#5147101 You'll have to click through to see the photo properly, but are these the icons? Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:45:18 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663368#5147101 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 http://www.chow.com/topics/663195#5140221 When I suggested that over on this thread here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/649475#5068533 there was a collective "aghast!" from the moderators. The old system where ancient threads would bubble to the top of not the first page but the second and subsequent pages of "my chow" worked well, even though it was never clear precisely what the sorting criteria were. Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:20:53 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663195#5140221 http://www.chow.com/topics/663050#5139443 Also, is it possible for it to make the name of the restaurant a hyperlink once in the comment, and not over and over again? It makes for really distracting reading. Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:43:35 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663050#5139443 http://www.chow.com/topics/663134#5138685 Gettin real tired of this error popping up and then IE shutting down. Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:32:39 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/663134#5138685 http://www.chow.com/topics/663051#5137926 Today, three times when I hit "Add New Topic" or reply to a post, I got the application error screen and all was lost. These weren't particularily long so I didn't do them in Word. However, before posting, if there's something I don't want to re-key, I'm copying it to my clipboard before posting.

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:44:35 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/660675#5134974 http://www.chow.com/topics/662677#5134623 The link to the Chowhound Digest - Boston Area on the Chow.com home page is incorrect, it just points back to chow.com.

It says that it is "saving," but it doesn't. Very frustrating. I've had to reply to my own posts to edit them. I hope they fix the problem soon. Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:45:01 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/662226#5131497 http://www.chow.com/topics/662322#5131357 It has been reported before, but I haven't been able to replicate the problem. I'm not sure if it's browser specific -- I've tried Firefox 3 and IE6 and not been able to -- or what's causing it exactly. Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:59:05 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/662322#5131357 http://www.chow.com/topics/661917#5129213 I've had a change request out on that for a very long time. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:25:05 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/661917#5129213 http://www.chow.com/topics/662013#5128475 And it's totally inconsistent. I just went to the thread about Top Chef Restaurant Wars and it was compressed, as it should be. Then I went to another thread I've been to before and it wasn't compressed. Same with another thread. Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:54:13 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/662013#5128475 http://www.chow.com/topics/635721#5128257 Hmm. I used to be Lewes17266 here. There is another Lewes so I changed my screen name to Sensuous. Sometimes I click on a region and get something entirely different but I have never been addressed by a screen name that was not my own.

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:57:56 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/661731#5126029 http://www.chow.com/topics/661311#5125881 The best thing to do when you run into problem ads is to click on the grey word 'advertisement' that appears above or to the right of the ad, and report the ad as broken via that form. That'll go directly to the technical team who deals with ads, and send them all the necessary information about the ad and your browser version so they can look into the problem. Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:56:27 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/661311#5125881 http://www.chow.com/topics/622756#5125024 As she says, this was a problem for me at least once and moreoften a problem if I save it in Photoshop. That is why I asked about software or an editor. I have found that sRGB and" Adobe RGB 1998" seem to upload OK. As I recall "ProPhoto RGB" is a problem. If your camera has other nomenclature (and choices), then I suggest going online for clarification. Photoshop calls one IIC (color), profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I can save a jpg with that profile or NOT. Perhaps some cameras have similar options for saving. I think you need the most basic jpg when uploading to Chowhound. Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:03:02 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/622756#5125024 http://www.chow.com/topics/661544#5123976 Ok, but shouldn't that be fixed? Shouldn't the search be on city then state/province/whatever then country? Rather than City then country then state/etc I don't know how many names the US and Canada share, but I know there is an Ontario, CA near me. Of course searching on that pulls up places in Ontario, Canada While it is unlikely other than Canada, other states that share 2 letter abbreviations with countries share cities, or cities that would be in the restaurant databas ... such as SD - South Dakota or Sudan ... there might be a few ...aren't there a lot of Germans in Delaware which shares DE with Germany. There must be one or two city names both countries share And who knows what other country provinces cross over with another country abbreviation. Anyway, shouldn't this have a ticket no matter how low priority.

Is this my computer or is there a problem on Chowhound?

Entry from the 'recents' on the home page is the only way I can get past the flickering 'chowhound' link and into the forums. Once it, it's ok, but something remains a broken link.

I posted 3 duplicate posts, and each time when I hit post I was greeted with an error message from Chowhound: "There's been a slight problem... Sorry, something's not working with this page. The CHOW team has been notified and will check it out. If there's something else we can provide in the meantime, please try searching:" My 3 posts show up on the index of the Cookware forum, but clicking on any of them gives the same message. The links are: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/660856 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/660854 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/660853 Of course, since I can't access to posts to even read them, I can't delete them either. I was trying to upload photos with my post, but when I go to Mychow/Photos, they seem to have all been successfully uploaded. Any suggestions what might be happening?

About a half dozen records were updated. This restaurant displays that the restaurant serves lunch http://www.chow.com/restaurants/8120/fattoush-restaurant However when I check lunch and Noe Valley the search shows up empty. I thought at first it was a problem of a combination of checked options, so then I searched all restaurants serving lunch in San Francisco., None of the Noe Valley (which is a neighborhood in San Francisco) show up. http://search.chow.com/search?query=&location=San+Francisco%2C+CA&type=Restaurant&board_ids=&advanced=1&sort_mode=best_match&feature=SERVES_LUNCH Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:57:19 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/660704#5114417 http://www.chow.com/topics/660615#5113527 I would normally just flag it using the "Report" feature, but I can't even access the actual posts. Please keep the earliest post titled "Golden Ocean,...etc.". The rest were attempts at reposting when Chowhound complained of an Error. Thanks! -fmed Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:28:56 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/660615#5113527 http://www.chow.com/topics/659508#5109053 I'm now finding that San Francisco works but other, not clearly defined, subdivisions don't. I can't search on many of our own suggestions. I've raised a ticket for Engineering to take a look.
