You can't piggyback yourself without changing some of the text in the "Subject of Posting" field right there above the Message field.

Oh thanks Kudzu9, but you don't need to bump this unless it is happening to others and you want an answer. My post eventually got posted. It was weird though, my post wouldn't show up for a long time, like over 10 minutes. I kept trying to post it, and it would keep disappearing. I don't know why, so I posted this thread to ask if anyone knew what was going on. Its not an issue now, but it has happened before to me and it is strange.

You need to change the subject line if you're posting twice in a row (i.e., before the pointer moves on). This is in the programming to prevent accidental double posts. When you get the MESSAGE REJECTED message, use the back arrow on your browser to go back to what you've typed. Change the subject line. You can just add a blank space, or change the whole message, or whatever you want, just so it isn't exactly the same as before. IMPORTANT: Click on Preview Message, so that your change is accepted. Then click on Submit Message and you should be fine.

My photos suddenly didn't show up the other day. I have an IE browser. My computer son downloaded (I hope that is the right word) the Chrome browser to my computer. When I want to post pics, I can switch over to the Chrome browser, and everything works fine. In the meantime, I (like you) posted my problem on the Rose Gallery, and someone (was that you Patty?) told me to use the HOUZZ PHOTO button at the bottom of the box rather than the PHOTO button. I tried that with my usual IE browser and it worked. Then I got an answer back from the GW tech support who told me to try clearing history and cache, and then reopening the browser. I confess--I haven't done that because my computer son said it won't make any difference. Finally, Tamara posted an explanation on the Rose forum (which I copied on the Rose Gallery post) which explained that IE is being slowly phased by Windows which is coming out with a new browser called Edge--so there won't be much updating with our IE browsers any more--which might mean a number of functions might eventually not work well on IE. However, if you get Windows 10 which is coming out shortly, you will have the new browser. (I hope I phrased all those statements correctly. I'm not a computer person.) So there you have several solutions to the pic posting problem. I'm using the HOUZZ PHOTO button or the Chrome browser. Either works fine at the moment. Hope that helps. Kate
