http://www.chow.com/boards/59 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:12:14 GMT Keep track of the lastest threads on Chowhound http://www.chow.com/topics/561704#4075729 We’re happy to announce that we’re launching CHOW Lists as a beta feature. CHOW Lists will allow users to create lists of places that will appear on one page, with a map and with descriptions of what the list is and of each item on the list. For instance, users can create a list of places they want to go on their vacation in Oregon, or their 10 favorite pizza places in New York, of favorite brunch places in Los Angeles, etc. and set those lists as private or make them public and share them with everyone. The lists will be promoted on the boards, restaurants&bars pages, and in the navigation bar under My Chow and under Restaurants&Bars. The home page is http://www.chow.com/lists You can find a FAQ about this new feature at http://www.chow.com/chowlists-faq We’re really excited about releasing this, but please keep in mind it is in beta, so we’re likely to encounter some problems, and there are a number of improvements planned for the next release. Please take a look, give it a try and let us know here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/561703 if you have any feedback.

But the "advertisers dislike message boards" rule is, for the time being, a fundamental thing. Anyone involved in online ad sales will say the same.

Are you not seeing those? Or are they not working?

I used to be able to do this before the web-ste change. Now, no "edit" button appears on the page. Also, even when "adding" a new place, the screen is quirky. The restaurant name doesn't appear in a block at the top, and there are hidden buttons at the bottom. No "save" button....

We do try to keep those discussions honest, friendly, and on topic, as well, but unfortunately it's more difficult to stay on top of. If you spot comments that are a problem, please send me a heads up at moderators@chowhound.com -- Jacquilynne, Community Manager for Chowhound Sat, 27 Sep 2008 00:55:13 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/535512#4064869 http://www.chow.com/topics/560525#4064862 Hi: Please help us keep the comments on the redesign consolidated on this Technical Help thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/560190 Thanks!

You may want to talk with the tech team and get them to remove Tasting Notes from the blog rotation that appears on the right side of the screen under "blog posts" -- the last post keeps showing up there and it obviously hasn't been updated since July.

I like the looks of this little Island off the coast of Las Vegas for just that... chowhounds as... I are one." I mean after all, isn't that a large portion of why we are on this little wobbly rock number three moving ever so slowly away from the Sun. So in summary, (while we are spinning) thank you for the opportunity to look in and stand upon your doggy dish of delights. I will try to be a "good dog"... and mind my bones of contention down this cornucopia of culinaryisms. Bones Appétit, Whoof... aka Casey Pons Sun, 21 Sep 2008 18:16:06 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/559168#4051199 http://www.chow.com/topics/558945#4050659 Not sure what the deal is, but the frequency of the surveys has drastically decreased for me. Much more bearable now! Sun, 21 Sep 2008 12:29:31 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/558945#4050659 http://www.chow.com/topics/508467#4043070 I'd like to put in a vote for this one as well. I like the "my chow" option, but if i've lagged on any site for a few days, sometimes those "you have a reply" e-mails bring me back to the site. I use this optional feature on a few other boards I post on, and it brings me to those sites more often. On a related note...those sites that DO have this option, when you click on the link within the e-mail, it brings you directly to the point in the thread wher you'd last left off, and you can start reading there. In other words you don't have to scroll through posts and posts and posts trying to find where you last left off, or where your original post was. I wish CH did this. In some of those 100 + post threads, it's hard to find your place. It's an optional thing, so I don't see what the problem would be in bringing it here...either click "notify me when a reply is posted" or leave the box empty and therefore get no e-mails.

If you have an off topic question (if you're looking for food tips, please ask the board so everyone shares the information!) you can post a short reply to one of their recent posts asking them to contact you.

Chowhound should not be promoting this activity. It is not far to the other customers or the owners of the establishment. If the host or hostess is selling tables, the management is loosing out and they will inturn loose customers.

I agree with you, I want to see some of the previous food fights and i cannot find them at all it was throught the miracle of google that i found the macaroni and cheese one but I don't remember the other ones so I can't google those. Please chow! create a direct page with all the results so that I can actually use your site's search engine to find something on your site!

There was a deli in Boynton Beach that only brought 2 sweet and lows or sugar packets with the coffee per person as they got so fed up with having to replace the containers with the contents.

Treats cheese with respect and love. Those shots made me very hungry for good cheese... I thought the video was well organized. It had lots of great information for both beginners and connoisseurs. But no mention of the rind? :) Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:36:16 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/540578#3973765 http://www.chow.com/topics/548877#3969476 Hi Karen, Thanks for your query. When I write the copy that accompanies the CHOW Tips, I always try to summarize the video content in a short sentence or two. We are investigating closed captioning for our videos which would allow you to read as well as watch them -- hopefully that is something we can explore more in the future as we grow in size. It certainly seems like there demand for it. In terms of marking the videos as videos -- we do! But in a subtle way. If you see a graphic with little lines on it, it is a video story. You can also see the words "CHOW Tip Video" in the sidebar above the video stories. That should cover you for most parts of the site apart from the footer. We've also chosen to turn off "auto-play" options so that you will never be forced to watch a video you don't choose to watch. Finally, in our redesign, due out in the next month or so, video promos will be a different size than regular promos, so you can be sure to avoid them if you choose. Though as a member of the CHOW video team I hope you won't choose to! Thanks again, Meredith of CHOW Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:36:05 GMT http://www.chow.com/topics/548877#3969476 http://www.chow.com/topics/538788#3919663 I have no problem with it, I dont go to strip clubs myself so i have no horse in this race, but the article was about the food offerings at the clubs. So it was on topic for the site, like it or not. If you dont like it, dont read it.

Perhaps you could correct it for those who might think they must go through 20 pounds of grapes, picking out seeds.

I am Jewish, and I attempt to follow the Laws of Kashrut. And, on a personal note, I tend to follow a vegetarian diet.

Is there actually a Chowhound mobile version? That refers to restaurants rather than recipes?

Just something to think about...

It's been reported to Engineering. If you'd like to review I Sodi, we'd recommend you start a new thread on the Manhattan board. If you "Add a Place" to your review, it will be linked from the Place page within 30 minutes or so. You can email moderators@chowhound.com if you have facts you'd like us to add to the Place page.

However, if a chowhound wants to organize a group for dining, he/she can follow our guidelines at http://www.chowhound.com/topics/367605#2975390 The expectation is that the event is specifically for hounds, and not another event that you're just soliciting attendees for.
