You can change the name of your link!

Did you use the link option at the bottom of your comment box? Copy the URL into the URL box on the bottom, and then on the top box type in what you want to call it.

I just figured out that you can change the name of your link. If you hover over it it asks you if you want to delete or change.

It would be nice, and respectful to GW members, to have some kind of notice on the front page of Houzz.

I know we are under the "Advice" tab, but who would know that when they visited the front page? You have to click on Advice and notice it's under the House stuff on the left side of the page. We are not under any of the more easily accessed drop down menus.

If they bought the site for the traffic it generates that seems counterproductive. Current GW members can access it from bookmarks, but no one else would easily know we're here.

I just don't get it, they bought a new goody, then hid it away from the rest of the site, basically.

Yes, sorry I thought I had deleted that. When I did that the whole URL took over both boxes. That part I can do because I've done it but just had to write my comment again. I need a practice site! LOL.

Toy Fox terrier OK that works putting it in

on the main page of each GW forum on the left side there's a link to all of the GW forums split as always into home or garden categories. At the top of the main page is a link back to the forums.

I have seen posted that the forums are scattered all over the place but they are exactly as they have always been all the home forums are under the home category and all the garden forums are under the gardens category. Listed exactly as they were on the main page of the original GW home page. It's just a matter of getting adjusted.

Thanks, Tally. I see it now. And I've changed to the middle view so things look a bit better.

I don't know if this has already been posted, but I would really like to be able to send a message to anyone, not just people who follow me. Like we used to be able to do.

I second Rob's request. We used to be able to email anyone who allowed that option. I don't want to have to "follow" someone to be able to email them.

I'd also like the "read" threads to be darker. I find that turning them gray is still hard to see.

I preferred having a "return to Kitchen Table" option handy at the bottom of each page. I have to scroll to the top to get to the Kitchen Table again. Backspace gets me to the previous page, but I might not want to go to that page.

When a post has no responses it used to sit at the top. This site, it drops down the page. I found Spam this morning and reported it, and also made a post on how to report Spam.

Also, when new posts are made to a thread, please bring it back to the top so that we know there are new comments. And make it green again, because of the new comments.

New posts to an existing thread will go to the top if you sort by latest activity (pull down at the top). I agree about making it green again but I think the changing of colors is based on your viewing of the thread.....cookies or other tracker.

I DO NOT see an option to go the the LAST POST of a thread. Maybe I'm just blind but I do use that option a lot at other forums and even the GW discussions had a button to click to go to the last post of a thread.

ETA: I also just tried to use the <b></b> to make a word bold but that did not work.

Arkansas, the only way I know to get to the last post of the thread is to click on a thread title, and click Comment. That takes you to the comment box.

If you click on a post to the right.....the latest ones, the person who made the comment is the most recent poster. Click on that comment to take you to the latest comment, and scroll up from there.

Arkansas, if you set your View Setting to the middle icon (to the right of the Last Activity drop down box) you will see the first sentence of the last post in the thread. This is also a link. If you click on the sentence it will take you directly to the last post inside the thread.

I changed the view setting but I don't like that lay out at all. Everything is all spread out which is already one thing I'm not liking as it is and then it becomes even worse and more spread out. I'm changing it back. For now I will just press the "end" button on my keyboard to get to the bottom until they add us a "last post" option.

jasdip, I used the comment button, that's pretty handy to do it that way.

Today for the first time, when I go to the Table, I see the titles of the threads with no comments underneath, taking up space. To the right tells me how many comments there are. I like this a LOT better than having a few posts show up with a comment underneath it. It took up a lot of room on the page, with only a few topics. Now there are a number of topics showing. Much better.

I agree Jasdip, I have mine on the far left setting.

I'm sure I'm just not seeing it, but is there a search box? I asked in the computer forum, but no answer.

I answered you over there too. It's right at the top of the page. Search in Gardenweb.

Thanks, PK!! Yes, now I see it. I think my eye must have passed it by, assuming it was a google search because I didn't read the three words.

Am I the only one who has difficulty seeing what thread titles are green and which are black? Many sites I frequent have an indicator on the left of a post (where the photo icon is located) to show that the post hasn't been read, so that's what I'm used to. I'll get used to that, but having more of a stark contrast between the colors of a read and unread post would help that along.

I frequent another forum that has a white background and unread threads are in bold and threads that have been read are unbolded. Perhaps that's something that could be explored (the bolding and unbolding, not the white background).

Well, they're listening! On the All Discussions page they are now identifying which forum the posts are from. Makes a big difference in knowing where some of the less descriptive topics are actually coming from. A topic like Trade Exchange would interest me if it was on the African Violet forum, but not if it was posted on Figs.

Would you consider putting up a default icon (like maybe the old GW rose) instead of that grey talking head icon if there is no photo in the original post? I use the middle viewing icon so I can see photos alongside the topic titles. But if there isn't a photo, that grey talking head default is ugly and colorless. It makes the board so drab looking!

Under the "Houzz" at the bottom of the page, several countries are represented: U K, France, Deutschland, etc. ... but no "Canada".

Guess we disappeared.

I'd like the read ones that haven't had a subsequent comment to be shown in a different colour - paler, as in my Yahoo email would be O.K. for me, but some who have restricted eyesight might find that disconcerting.

I used to find that if I clicked on the "Return to the Kitchen Table", I'd be taken to the top of the most recent page of the list of topics, and if I clicked on the "Back" arrow at top left, it'd take me to the location on the list of topics page that I'd been visiting, (e.g. on page 5 - or 67) and the exact position where I'd been viewing.

I preferred the list of 25 - 30 topics available on page one (of those 67 pages, which I could click on at the bottom to go directly there) to the only a few visible that are available now.

I'd like to be able to view and edit my post, before submission, as well (fewer occasions of egg on my face?). .....

... (Edited) Now I see - the pencil ... and the eraser ... ain't modernizing wonderful? (more or less). But ... I have to "Submit", first. ...Oh, well.

ole joyful ... more or less

Where is the "All Discussions" page?

Erin it's at the top left on the main page of the forums, under Gardenweb Topics.

Ed, I too prefer seeing all of the threads displayed, then I can click to open the ones that I want to read. In order to do that, you have to go to the main page of the KT, and click the Left option of the horizontal lines beside Latest Activity.

It would be great if we could get a Gardenweb heading on the front page next to houzz. The enormous resources and community of Gardenweb should not be hidden away in a secret menu.

I would like to see just the subject title of the posting, and never mind all the stuff about the last post, etc. etc. The change in color of topics with new postings lets me know whether I've read/seen the new postings. I could then get more topics on my page before having to scroll all the time. Lots of wasted space IMHO.

Linda do you have your view set to the Left option, (beside Latest Activity) of the horizontal lines?

That's the one that I use and I have a bunch of threads listed, with no comments showing, just the number of comments. That way I get many more on the page. It's similar to how it was on GW which I like.

Thanks, finally found it...lol. Much easier for me to get around when I only want to gander at the headings to see what's new, not the whole post.
Thanks.

Not a big deal but I wish the avatars were bigger, I can't tell what most of them are. I like the added color they bring to the page.

Thank you, Jasdip. Now, what exactly is All Discussion?

Those smiley faces do add a bit of colour, but must they be so big? They do take up quite a bit of space on my screen. Not all that important, but just sayin'.

If you click on All Discussions you see the latest posts of the discussions all across the forums. Much like the side-bar we used to have. But you don't know which forum it is is until you read it.

Justlinda thats the size I had. I uploaded them to an ideabook for anyone to use. It's a bit of work to make them smaller. And I don't have a working computer right now. Although I do have the programming to make them smaller if & when I get a new puter.

Way to go AAA. Thanks!

I can't get in on my Ipad. My password has an underscore in it, which the Ipad doesn't have on the keyboard. So what to do??

leel_gw: for the underscore on your iPad, it is on the THIRD tier of the keyboards. You know you click the '123' button to go to the numbers (and the second keyboard)? Well once there, then click on the '#*=' button and it takes you to the third level keyboard and it's there (just above that #*= button) with other symbols. At least that's how my iPhone is set up (I'm looking at the keyboard(s) as I type this).

I typically frequent the Appliance, Kitchen and Remodeling Home Forums but I thought I'd look around the site to see how everyone else is holding up with the drastic changes and stumbled on this post. Everyone seems to be saying pretty much the same thing and finding work-arounds for the way we were used to before. And discovered a few new ones here. Thanks everyone! I had an answer to your question so hope you don't mind my chiming in.

I plan to do some serious gardening when I finish remodeling the INSIDE of my house! I bought it for the great views for my future great landscaping and gardens plans! Thanks.

My appologies. Just realized that this is the Kitchen Table Forum and not Gardening. Well just goes to prove that there should be better labeling of which Forum you are in!

Yes, but here you are and you are welcome to stay awhile and join in :)

I know its been mentioned but we need some COLOR. Maybe a few pics or a "Kitchen Table" pic just for here. More homey then it is now.

A edit button would be nice for all the mistakes we seem to make.

Thanks, Jas. Now I get it. :)

By the way, thank you for you patience in answering all these questions with much patience and kindness!

JoAnn there is an edit function. Once you have posted go back to your post and on the top right corner there is a little pencil icon in light gray. click on it to edit your post. There are time limits to the edit feature. one week for regular posts in a thread.

cindallas thanks for jumping in and answering! Please feel free to drop in anytime. You can discuss anything here including your house and your gardens and please show us some pictures we love pictures!

On the All Discussion board they are now including the name of the forum that the post is from. And at the top of each thread is the name, in tiny little green letters, the name of the forum that you are in.

I would like to see a "return to kitchen table(or whatever forum I'm in)" at the bottom of the page when I'm viewing the threads.

Couple things that I find helpful on other discussion forums I visit:

If you hover your pointer over the thread title, a little box pops up w/ a 'preview' of the post. Helps to know what the post is actually about, saves time opening threads w/ titles like 'Help'.

Also, next to the thread title is a button that will take you to the first unread post of the thread (it doesn't appear if there are no new posts). That way, you know if there are new comments and it saves time not having to scroll through the whole thread looking for the last post read.

Umm, I know if there are new posts because the thread title is green instead of black.

I'm wondering if the quickest way to get to the end of the thread, in order to read the new posts, is by hitting the "comment" button. This may have been answered, and I just haven't seen it yet. Thanks.

Justlinda, that's how I've *always* gone to the bottom of the page. When there are 140 comments or lots of pictures, "Post a Follow-Up" always took me to the bottom, and I scrolled up to the last post that I read.

So here, the Comment button does the exact same thing.
