The Cooking Links section of the board is now up and running. Please take a look at the descriptions under each of the link sections and start submitting links you would like to have on the site.
Yes, the system is smart enough to see that the link already exists in our database and will not allow a duplicate.Piccolina said:What happens if two (or more) people try to submit the exact same link? Will the 2nd (and all subsequent) posters be told that the page (link) already existss in the directory?

That's cool GB! Thanks for clarifying that point (you have to love how smart these programs are!)GB said:Yes, the system is smart enough to see that the link already exists in our database and will not allow a duplicate.
Great idea. I have added something that should encompass that as well. Check it out.Piccolina said:(Just a thought) What about a section for food resources? (Maybe this is technically covered by one of the link categories that is in place right now?) For example so many of us live all over the globe, what's available in New York might not be available in the shops in New Delhi and vice versa. This area could be for sites (links) to DC members favourite products, ingredient sources, etc (again just an "off the top" thought )
That is a good question and I am not sure of the answer, but I would guess that it would count as a different page.Piccolina said:LOL, not to sound like I'm getting all "nit-picky" But what if, for example someone has submitted say www.yumfood.com, and then later on someone else submits a page from the same site. For (made-up) example www.yumfood.com/apple_pie - will this be counted as the same because it still belongs to the same site or differnent because it is a different page?
That's awesome GB! I was just submitting a link and I saw that when I returned to the home page. I am sooooo touched that you took up my suggestion! I'm sure it will help out tons of people. Thank-you!GB said:Great idea. I have added something that should encompass that as well. Check it out.
Hi Andy, thanks for that handy tip. I just went back and requested updates for any of the sites that I've submitted so far that were missing pics. That's such a helpful feature! I like the screen shot that you picked, I'm sure it's the first time my user name (on any site!) has ever appeared in a screen shot.Andy R said:In the event some links come up without a thumbnail, please use the link at the bottom of the drop down menu to request an update (takes 48-72 hours). Attached is a screenshot of where to click...
That is a great idea that we will probably look at over time. For now since it is just getting started we are going to keep it very basic, but later on down the road I am sure we will take your idea and implement it. We just need to see how things play out first so we see where we need to add things and where we don't.urmaniac13 said:Hey GB, I am quite sure, as the section grows, each directory may become a little too vast and long to find what you are interested in. I see there IS a search engine but you could get a little overwhelmed if you just wanted to browse through, especially in "general cooking" and "recipes" department. maybe a good idea to create subsections according to i.e. the type of cuisine, celebrities, monographs etc?
