Bad changes to the Landscape Design forum
Comments (3)I hope someone with some clout with Houzz is bothering to read these. This is a sample of the posts that are appearing on the Landscape Design forum that have nothing to do with landscaping. These are all coming from the Design Dilemma aspect of Houzz. This needs to be fixed!!! https://www.houzz.com/discussions/help-with-living-room-dsvw-vd~4835817?n=7 https://www.houzz.com/discussions/a-maisonette-house-plan-dsvw-vd~4839156?n=4...See MoreAbsence from the forum due to state of garden, discouraged
Comments (56)I went there once years ago but don't remember much about it. The grounds had been neglected and gotten very run down, and I think that at that time a group was still in the early stages of rehabilitating it. I do recall seeing R. banksiae 'Lutescens', which as I understand Sir Thomas Hanbury introduced from his Italian garden to England, and a lovely plant of 'General Schablikine'. In addition to his activities relating to gardening and botany, Sir Thomas was apparently a notable local philanthropist. My tremendously thorny 'La Mortola', a form or sport or hybrid of R. brunonii, originated there. These pergolas in the photos are lovely. Ours, made of rebar and bamboo, aren't, but they're respectable, in my eyes, and they hold up the roses just fine. We're in a period of pergola expansion right now, the effect of the still unrelenting sun. However, today's forecast finally includes a possibility of rain!! for two days! less than a week away! When I see such signs of commitment on the part of the weather service, I begin to hope. I was down in the big garden early this morning, and it looks like quite a few roses are in a state of extreme suffering. If they get killed in places, I'm not going to try to replace them with more roses, but will look for the kinds of plants that grow in the same condiitons as Italian cypresses and olives. The cypresses are among the very few plants that are happy down there. I'll take a survey once the weather allows me to get down there without my having to worry about heatstroke. I'm taking notes from people's suggestions. Thanks for all the ideas!...See MoreHas our forum name changed or am I having a senior moment?
Comments (21)daisychain when I'm in a thread, at the top above the title in the OP it says GardenWeb Topics / Home Decorating Conversations. When I'm on the main page of the forum is where it says Home Decorating & Design Conversations. Olychick it's not the word Discussions that I'm questioning but Design - that's what I think was added. It makes the Discussion and the Conversation sides both have the possibility of being nicknamed DD which is what the regulars on Houzz call their Design Dilemma board. As I said, maybe I'm just pushing a conspiracy theory here and it's all about nothing. When I start talking to you about visits from extraterrestrials, call the men in little white coats, please. roarah - then I'm not nuts!...See MoreWeek 174 - OT GW forums on mobile & Houzz issues on participation
Comments (36)On my iPhone, I use the 'frequently used sites' icons that are there when I click on Safari and it takes me right to it. No (lousy) App for me either. But I also learned the trick (from a fellow GW poster) to find it anytime, from the Houzz Home page drop down Menu. And I always use a mobile devise (iPhone and iPad Mini) but it also has worked on a PC or Android devise when I've tried it. That other GW post was some time back when Houzz was reaking havoc with our beloved GW Forums soon after the transition. Everyone was having issues with their bookmarks and previous ways of finding GW. The poster mentioned that it was now listed under the 'Advice' section!! I'm sorry I don't remember who it was to give them credit for that marvelous discovery. Previously I believe there was a 'GardenWeb' listing directly from the main menu. So even just now, from Safari, I Googled Houzz, clicked on the Home Page, then click on the Menu icon to get here: Then click on the 'Advice' section and you will see 'Houzz Discussions' and 'Gardenweb Discussions': I never knew there were two separate Forums before. Then to get here for instance, click on the 'Home Forums' under the GW Discussions. And then you have all of the Home Forum topics: Or the wonderful Garden Forums etc. I'm not sure if everyone else is doing it like this or something different. But this simple direction has helped me immensely. I don't comment often (especially having delt with long term family health problems) but this Forum is and has been such a lifeline for me. It is informative, entertaining and has such emotional continuity with the history of such great posters. The knowledge base and the time to giving help from everyone is just amazing. And yes I quite agree with the frustrations of new Houzz posters who don't know the GW ways and other irritations. For instance I was no longer getting email notifications on comment follow ups like I used to on the old GW. I'll see what happens after this one though. But I plan on sticking around for the long haul. Sharing knowledge and helping; isn't that what GW is all about? Paying it Forward....See MoreKC Clark - Zone 2012-6a OH
