        <content>For this first release, we have limited access to editing of restaurant/bar pages (cuisine, neighborhood, features, etc) - if you are interested in editing these pages, please reply to this post and we will provide that access. Thanks. 

If you're a restaurant or food business looking to update your own information (hours, website, etc), please just leave a note here with the information you'd like updated, or email it to info@chow.com, and we'll update it for you. </content>

      <content>"Save" button is not working for me. I click on it and nothing happens.
Safari/OSX/ latest everything. This page:

The rest of the editing features appear to be working.

Also: "Cancel" button does function.</content>

      <content>Hi there. Can you help me out?

I chose one of my favorite restaurants in CT to start my contribution. Here 'tis:
http://www.chow.com/restaurants/44709/sharpe-hill-vineyard

What's weird is *I did* review this restaurant specifically--earlier this month, even-- yet it doesn't come up in the "related discussions" section below it. Here is a link to my review.

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/653123

Conceptually, I like the idea, but in execution, it doesn't seem to be working...or not yet, anyway.

EDIT: While browsing some of my hometown favorites, I was delighted to see a little hole in the wall favorite of mine had a picture posted. I didn't recognize the poster's name. When I clicked on his profile, there were no posts. Did you recruit people to post pictures for various restaurants? How's this working?

      <content>And here I am again. I don't appear to have access to edit/modify a place. The only thing I can do is upload a picture...and I'm on my laptop without access to all my picture files, so I can't even do that. Can you please e-mail me and let me know how I can do this? I can only guess if the fields (hours, alcohol, etc.) were available for me to edit, they'd be clickable and they're not.</content>

      <content>Hey there, ChowHQ...I don't know if you missed the EDIT part of my post since I went back in and added it later. I am curious...how would someone join up just to post pics and not to post reviews or anything? Did you recruit folks to add to the database?</content>

I was just expecting a familiar name from the local board, so when it was a stranger, I wondered if the Chow team had recruited people to add photos. No biggie. I was just curious.</content>

      <content>Google maps are sometimes a little flaky. But you can update the restaurant page with the precise latitude and longitude (which you can find by finding the actual location on google maps) and that should fix it. </content>

      <content>This must be an old database. It is not directly linked to or interactive with Google Maps. I moved the POI on Google Maps to the correct building. It was at the corner place (next door), which is jinxed, it seems.

      <content>Now, on my screen, next to the thread http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/657923
the POI doesn't even show. It's the right area on the map, but no marker!

EDIT: Then I go to the restaurant review: http://www.chow.com/restaurants/96737/goodfellas-cafe and the POI marker is there. Go back to the previous page and miraculously, it has appeared.
I repeated this phenomenon twice.

On an off note: Where are the SLOW reviews? The biggie reviews or the reviews by pros? We have  "Quick Reviews", implying that Slow or long reviews will be forthcoming?</content>

      <content>I don't know if this is the best place to post about problems editing Restaurant/Bar pages, but here goes:

I tried to add hours of operation for Feng Asian Bistro in Hartford, CT while logged in using IE8 in compatibility mode. For every character that I type in the text box, the box gets narrower. After typing a dozen chars, the box is reduced to a thin vertical line (but the text is there). If I pass the mouse cursor over the box before it's reached that stage, it may revert to its full size, but this happens only once. I would then have to save the changes and then go back to edit mode to add more info to that text box.

The hours text box works fine in Firefox 3.5.

However, after spending a good deal of time copying their 3-part hours of operation from their website (and it's not obvious where to find it), I only ended up with "Mon-Thurs", the 2nd line of many I had typed in, in this format:

Dinner:
Sun-Thurs 5-10PM
Fri-Sat 5-11PM
[etc.]

When I retyped all that info onto a single line with no line breaks (the way the old system worked), it kept everything I typed, but it's not very readable.

Can someone look into this?

Also, I copied a couple of links to reviews from their website, and they display as entered, but are not very readable either. Can one enter HTML &lt;a&gt;-type links in this field, so that one can see "Connecticut Magazine Review" instead of "h.t.t.p://www.connecticutmag.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18127459&amp;BRD=2329&amp;PAG=461&amp;dept_id=578311&amp;rfi=6" ?

Oh, one more thing:
Please define what price ranges the $, $$, ..., $$$$$ selections mean.</content>

      <content>You could always go by the Yelp pricing guideline? :) BTW, there is no $$$$$.
$=Cheap, under$10
$$=Moderate, $11-30
$$$=Spendy, $31-60
$$$$=Splurge, Above $60
They suggest this is the price, per person, after tax and tip.
They also say this range is subject to change.

My thoughts are that we rarely spend over $60 per, so this is about right for our somewhat pricey New Haven area. It is perhaps not the norm in NYC (too low) or Austin (too high?).

Fodor's use this simplified guide:
&#162; - Cheap
$ - Budget
$$ - Mid-range
$$$ - Upscale
$$$$ - Expensive
Chow may be inferring pricing like this without commenting.

Others may not have anything about pricing. Could not find it on Zagat.

I would like to know what they mean by "menu", when they have primary cuisine, cuisine tags and tags. Confusing. Obviously not a yes-no question. 
There's just no "Help" or guide here!</content>

      <content>Yes, menu is the actual menu. Some restaurants don't have websites so it can be found on other sites such as menupages, sporq, foodiebytes, grubhub, a thousand minor places. 

I started adding $ prior to the change. I looked at all the places that use pricing ... yelp, zagat (they have it), opentable, menupages, local newspapers. 

It is best to use a four level tier since that is the most common. Menupages uses a five level tier, IIRC, and it is just confusing. One place used three tier. While that eliminates the biggist ambiguity ... those places that straddle $$ and $$$ ... it lumps too many places in together. Some are clearly $$ while others are $$$ and you don't want priicey if you are looking for midrange.. 

The thing I did find out ... as far as four-tier pricing ... was that no matter how it was calculated ... entire meal ... entree ... it doesn't matter. The cheap restaurants were always $ and the $$$$ restaurants were always expensive ... no matter what criteria you used. 

Fodor's actually has the right idea using descriptions rather than price ranges based on some critera. 

It eliminates regionalism. What might fall in the mid-range category in NYC could be upscale pricing in the suburbs in another area of the country ... not to mention other countries outside the US. IIRC, outside of the  US is where Zagat was inaccurate.  

It also solves the problem of outdated pricing due to inflation or deflations. 

Don't agree with their distinction between cheap and budget though. It throws a clear category into fuzzy territory. I do like the word budget for $. I was using inexpensive. Cheap isn't fair to many low cost restaurants as it implies lesser quality. 

I don't like upscale though for $$$. I think pricey is better. Upscale implies a certain type of restaurant. There are many type of places such as sushi joints or old school continental restaurants that are pricey but not really upscale. 

Yes, it would be nice to have a rollover legend that defined those levels such as 
$=Budget
$$=Midrange
$$$=Pricey
$$$$=Expensive</content>

      <content>My guideline has been more entree-based (average cost):
$=under $10
$$=$10 - $20
$$$=$20 - $35
$$$$=over $35
simply because appetizers, drinks, etc., are optional, main courses aren't.
When you add in those other items, you get your pricing levels shown above.</content>

      <content>I experienced the mysterious shrinking field last weekend (IE7 on my laptop, IE6 where I'm typing now) and didn't report it except while talking to Scargod, so thanks for raising it here. That got old very fast for me. Only way I could work around it was to type a little bit, save, go back, repeat...I did one listing and called it quits. I would really like to fill in the blanks for some of my local favorites who don't have websites...especially places where I tend to direct others. Chowhound Team, any workaround on this issue?

rbailin, while we're site talkin', I've appreciated many of your recommendations on our local board. Would love if you filled in your top 5 favorites on your profile...just in case you're onto something else I'm missing. ;) Thanks for the very tasty advice.</content>

      <content>Luce shows up here:
http://www.chow.com/restaurants/111351/luce-ristorante

What I was doing in this case was leaving the search field at the top of the restaurants/bar page blank, and entering "hamden, ct" in the near field. This gives you a list of all 117 establishments located in Hamden. Luce was #46 on the list. The restaurants appear to be sorted by their database record number.</content>

      <content>It's not a very flexible, intuitive database. New Haven is big for Italian restaurants. If I am new to NH and I want to branch out and find an Italian restaurant, outside of downtown, I type in "New haven, CT" (where it says "near"), I still only get restaurants in New Haven. If I enter the major zip, 06511, for downtown New Haven I get surrounding areas. 23 versus 35. You can get there, but it requires too much persistence and experimenting.</content>

      <content>I would like to be able to update. One of my favorite new places in San Jose, Mezcal, has the wrong zip code which is throwing the map way off.

I very much like having the maps integrated in, so it's more important than ever to get this geographic information correct. Thanks!

      <content>And now my screen name and password don't fill in automatically (sigh) PLUS I'm getting the weirdness that someone else reported where it sometimes shows posts I've already read and sometimes it displays threads correctly. Not a big deal if there are 10 replies but kinda aggravating if there are dozens...

On the plus side, I'm noticing that when I do more than one edit on a post, it no longer reverts to the previous version, which is great!</content>

      <content>Hey, Eddie, I updated your restaurant record using info from your website, facebook, and the Gazette review  taking out editorial words.
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/367605

Didn't see any yelp info

I assume both the Gazette and Facebook are correct and you are closed Sat-Sun. If not, I'll look at your Facebook page tommorrow for update.

I have nothing to do with Chow other than being a poster, but I was updating some restaurant records in my neck of the woods and wrote up your info while I was at it.</content>
