Or forum (or whatever).

In fact, I'm still not sure whether I have an account.</p> <p>I created an account for the forum - seemed to work fine. When I go to your home page to purchase a deal, it no longer appears as though I am logged in ... like the cookie isn't shared from forum to regular site.</p> <p>When I click the login link on the regular site, it asks for my email and order #. No where does it indicate how or where I can create an account. Is an account created on first order? On newsletter subscription? Before a couple minutes ago, I didn't have an order # and I didn't particularly want to subscribe to your email newsletter (prefer rss).</p> <p>Still, your faq on the order page said that if I had an account, I could track my orders, which is appealing, so I gave subscribing to the email newsletter a shot and I made my first purchase with the same email address. Still no sign that I can login. All I can do is enter an email and associated order number to see details of one order. Doing so does not alter the login link, so I'm assuming I'm still not logged in.</p> <p>And by the way, that seems like a pretty easy system to hack. Anyone who knows my email address and that I am a customer of this site can start typing in random order numbers (or write a script to do so), allowing them pretty easy access to my voucher. It's not going to take long to get get to my order number, starting at 0. </p> http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/topic/rss-feed-address#post-26 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:30:33 +0000 rhbecker 26@http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/ <p>Hey Dan, it's just the daily deal that I want to get a feed for. I'm assuming that's what you mean by "home page".</p> <p>I understand the motivation for gathering page stats, but 2 points:</p> <p>1. How big of an audience are you losing by not having a feed? Are stats worth that loss? I don't make it a habit to visit a bunch of sites on a regular basis. I expect sites to come to me with their information (via my feed reader). I suspect I'm not rare in that respect. The only reason I'm here right now is because a neighborhood blog I follow via feed reader mentioned your deal for the day.</p> <p>2. What's more valuable to your clients - total page views, or page views from their target audience? If I'm a burger joint owner, I'm much more interested to know that a post for cheap burgers got x number of click-throughs (from your referrer stats) than that your home page gets y number of hits, potentially from people only interested in salon discounts or fancier restaurants.</p> <p>Just my 2 cents ... take it for whatever it's worth. </p> http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/topic/favorite-pubs#post-25 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 16:07:52 +0000 sistah.spinstah 25@http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/ <p>i have to say beverage place in west seattle. my local haunt. why? bring in your dog, bring in your food (BP provides local menus), games to play, great beer and of course, Monday $3 beers, outdoor patio. taps rotate so fast it will make your head spin. </p> http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/topic/presidents-day-answers-1#post-24 Mon, 15 Feb 2010 08:00:14 +0000 dan 24@http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/ <p>1) Barack Obama: Chili<br /> 2) George W.

We do this so we can track how many people view the page, as the places we feature are very interested in knowing how many people see their deal. </p> <p>We are in the process of integrating Feedburner to enable RSS for the main page. All other pages RSS feeds should work correctly.</p> <p>If you're expereiencing a problem with another page can you please give us a few more details:</p> <p>What browser are you using? </p> <p>Are you using any scripts to auto-detect RSS feeds?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Dan </p> http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/topic/rss-feed-address#post-21 Sun, 14 Feb 2010 05:22:23 +0000 rhbecker 21@http://emeraldcityeats.com/forums/ <p>The rss feed address auto-suggested by the browser doesn't appear to actually be an rss feed.
