663030 Wed Oct 28 11:49:17 -0700 2009 10 30 Site Talk 0 5137772 Just speaking for myself; I've complained about this typo as far back as 10-08. So, here we are, at least a year later. Many have complained: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/565449#4110780 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/578585#4231959 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/603662#4509258 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/377234#4579254 Misposted thread because of CT/ Tri-State description: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/613475#4611653 If you were to get "Tri-State CT" right (that you are talking about Southwestern CT), where would that area end? Norwalk? Farther east? It's totally nebulous right now with the typo! This is said to be low priority, but it would take just a few minutes to fix the typo. I agree redefining or fixing the other issues will take a lot longer. If Rochester is in the Tri-State board then why isn't all of CT and NJ, as well? This post states that almost all of New York State is in the Tri-state region! http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/649605#5000453 This just seems like weird policy to me. It's confusing enough for a foreigner to come to the New York-New England area and try to understand where locals are talking about, let alone Chowhound. How about some boundaries or maps with lines, signifying what area belongs where? Obviously all of CT is not in the Tri-State area... How about NJ? Where does north and south divide? Poor NJ: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/377234#2350857 I just want to point out some of my and other's frustration with this thing about CT and the confusion about where to post and then where to look for it when you search! Wed Oct 28 11:49:18 -0700 2009 137946 Scargod 1 5138244 I'd consider Fairfield County to be part of the Tri-State area, which means up to and including Stratford on the coast, and Danbury up the border. And agreed, changing two letters to correctly include South*we*stern and not South*ea*stern Connecticut should literally take no more than 30 seconds. Wed Oct 28 14:00:18 -0700 2009 5137772 1116334 plien69 1 5138697 Here Here S-Man Jfood would also like this corrected. Why are the developers working on placing "TRISTATE REGION BOARD DISCUSSIONS" at the bottom of the page with discussions that stopped a month ago, yet they cannot chage the title to agree with second grade geography. Please guys make it correct Wed Oct 28 16:35:46 -0700 2009 5137772 11290 jfood 2 5139213 I'd argue that CT's tristate region extends as far east as New Haven. But I don't see the point in lumping NJ and CT together. It's not like I'm going to travel to NJ just to eat, skipping Manhattan on my way over from CT. Wed Oct 28 20:03:42 -0700 2009 5138697 1106954 Silli 3 5139404 Oh, Lord, please, no... Please stop at least by Bridgeport! I'd hate to see New Haven in the Tri-State's unholy trinity. Are you just yanking my chain because I'm NH-centric? If you read the posts that I linked to, you will see that Staff has bigger fish to fry than separate out old threads, if they were to give each area a unique board. I'm suggesting they only take recent posts (6-12 months old?), and separate them as they create unique, new boards. Older ones, or those too hard to cypher, would be accessible, but archived uniquely. Wed Oct 28 22:45:40 -0700 2009 5139213 137946 Scargod 4 5140091 Growing up in the area, I've always heard Fairfield, New Haven, and Litchfield counties as part of the Tri- State Area. All three counties are part of the New York Metropolitan Area, and you can find Tri-State Ford dealers in all three. These three counties are also chock full of New Yorkers, and wanna be New Yorkers, who don't really associate with New England. That being said, I don't think it makes a whole lot of sense to have those counties posting on the Tri-State Board. There is definitely an area of CT that segregates itself from the rest of the state, however, and does belong on the Tri-State Board. When I was a kid, that would really only have included the Gold Coast towns, though by the time I was in high school, that area had expanded out at least as far as Easton, Redding, Fairfield, and Ridgefield. These days I might say it includes all of Fairfield County. Even my hometown, just barely in Fairfield County, now looks more like a New Jersey suburb than the town where, at the age of 14, I had no trouble finding work bailing hay, milking cows, and slaughtering pigs.

Starting multiple discussions on the same problem doesn't get it any closer to the top of that queue. Thu Oct 29 06:36:51 -0700 2009 5137772 2 The Chowhound Team 2 5140984 Ah, but the main thing is we want the Tri-State description to properly reflect Southwestern CT. That would take someone a matter of minutes to edit. I know; I could do it for you... A simple request, that over a year later, hasn't been dealt with. We are the squeaky wheel. Thu Oct 29 13:20:10 -0700 2009 5139739 137946 Scargod 2 5141063 TCT If there was a typo in the "CHOW" logo that caused it to read "CHEW" or "SHOW" or "CHOP" or "CHOY" or "CHOL" don't you think that simple chage would have been done to check the box and at least make the templates accurate. Thu Oct 29 13:45:17 -0700 2009 5139739 11290 jfood 2 5141234 >"multiple discussions on the same problem doesn't get it any closer to the top" Presumably the "engineer's queue" is ordered based on priorities established by whatever your equivalent of product management is. Two conventional high priorities for a product manager tend to be "low hanging fruit" and "let's not look like idiots". The third highest priority is often "people are complaining". Since this has been a known, easy, dumb-looking mistake for almost three years now, it's pretty clear that the low-hanging and non-idiot priorities mysteriously do not apply. All that's left is the third. So unless CHTeam has an alternative suggestion, this seems like the only possible means available. You've got some deep confusion in the Africa department as well. Thu Oct 29 14:43:05 -0700 2009 5139739 25310 Chuckles the Clone 3 5141264 Jfood wonders how many people have requested: - Please place a gradient gray horizontal bar behind the "ATTACH PHOTO" icon on the REPLY box Likewise if a customer request is still open after three years and that request is to to correct an typographical error while a non-functional make it pretty request gets up and done, who the heck is doing the prioritizing?
