Adding Links to Comments?
@wunami: Thanks for an excellent explanation!
@Gator Pam: Looking at your comment, the reason why your links in comments aren't working is because your missing the " " around the URL. Add those, and you should be good!
About Photograzing...
Hey Kitchenista -- Here's the Photograzing FAQ which should answer post of your questions. It's fine to include the Flickr URL with your submission. Most contributors want to send traffic back to their own food blog, so they submit the URL of the recipe/post related to the photo.
All of your Serious Eats contributions appear on your profile page which you can access by clicking on your username in the red tab at the top right of Serious Eats. Any accepting Photograzing submission would appear here once published.
Where's the Android app?
We agree, and have plans to launch mobile apps to guide you to the best eats near you, so hold tight! In the meantime, you can access a mobile optimized version of the site at http:///mobile.seriouseats.com.
Trouble Clicking on Favorites in Photograzing
I've been doing some poking around, and the favoriting issue appears to be isolated to IE (if you're seeing this in another web browser, let me know!). Hope to have this fixed soon!
Text over photos is hard to see
Sounds like a CSS bug. I haven't had success replicating this bug yet. I assume you only started seeing this after you updated Firefox? Are you also on a Windows PC? If so, which version of Windows? Thanks!
How to Prep a Chicken Paillard
@StarryRose: Are you still seeing this bug? If so, could you take a screenshot and send it to me along with your operating system details? My email address is: alaina@seriouseats.com. Thanks!
Best Indian in NY?
@simon: What restaurants do you like in Jackson Heights?
I'd definitely recommend Tabla -- the chef, Floyd Cardoz, is from Goa,
and the cuisine is "New Indian."
On Curry Hill, I like Saravanaas / Saravana Bhavan. It's a south
Indian international chain, so lots of dosas and thali on the menu. I
haven't been recently, but in the past I've also had some decent meals
at Tiffin Wallah, also south Indian. And last not least, Dhaba (which
means "truck stop") is pretty good and serves Punjabi cuisine.
Photograzing accept/reject notification?
There's no email notification, so the easiest way to keep tabs on your accepted submissions is via your profile page (S. Martel - here's the link to yours). Accepted submissions will appear as "posts." Hope that helps!
Sick of Website Promoters, Shills and Trolls!
I know Adam will chime in here shortly (he's out and about doing some pizza research today!) but we certainly agree.
There are a lot of new folks here, and the proper way to participate might not be immediately obvious. It's probably time for a refresher course on how to be a good Serious Eats community member. Obviously that includes don'ts like no self-promotion/linking, shilling, spamming, and trolling, etc. But I'd love to hear -- what do's would you put on this list? For starters, I'd say
...Do be respectful of your fellow community members
...Do welcome new folks into the fold
...Do ask questions
What else?
NYC for one day!
We recently put together a guide to Eating on the Go in NYC that you should check out. Lots of good info and ideas to get you started.
