Yup. Good upgrade. Had a post all typed out.

Oh well. Maybe their upgrader will upgrade his tires with a nail or two.

FWIW, I was clicking around to place a complaint, didn't see anything appropriate so I called the Houzz (pronounced Hows I believe) order line @ 800-368-4268.

The guy was helpul, and I can be kind of grouchy. He figured out who ran that and took my name and number to give them the issue.

Houzz Has Become UnManageable... I Can't Search 50,000 Photos!
Q
Comments (79)
When I started using Houzz I was amazed at how accurate the results of my searches were (in addition to the size of the photos database). It was a great resource. More recently when I've prepared to undertake projects, I've noticed that I just don't get the same, accurate results. My searches are riddled with results that just aren't pertinent. I think this is due to the incorporation of advertisers from my city and surrounding areas (contractors, builders, and others). There are enough ads (or results that are somehow influenced by someone who has something to sell) now to really hinder the flow of design ideas. I guess many internet sites end up using advertisers but it morphs the user experience. It's really made using Houzz less fruitful.

The camera icon labeled Photo no longer works for me (for at least a month) (Opera browser). But I have luck using the house icon labed Houzz Photo. First I place a copy of my edited photo on the outer area of the desktop. I keep my browser window smaller than my screen so I can drag the photo into the dotted square. Sometimes it takes 20 sec. + to appear. Heavy traffic? After it appears click on insert button. Houzz reduces the pictures to 500 pixels width. Mine are usually wider and the program Houzz uses to resize them is very good. You can click on a photo in a post and it will open to its pre-Houzz-resizing. Better able to see detail. So I'd rather use a slightly larger size.

I've been uploading the pics first (when I remember) for the last week and a half. If I forget and have a large block of text I don't want to lose, I highlight and copy it, before I refresh the page to try again. Very frustrating. Another work-around was posted in Kitchens today. Use the Houzz photo icon, then click browse and upload pics from your computer. Wait until the photo appears in the box, then click insert. If you want to post a pic from another website, you need to save it to your computer first, then use the Houzz icon. You can also drag and drop to that box. Uploading Houzz pics, using the url, doesn't seem to be affected.

Unable to post photos today!!! Houzz needs to fix this!
Q

Ahhhh, now you see where some of us have been living!!!! It is so frustrating, to say the least. I asked Houzz why some people are able to post and others not. "Houzz is aware of this issue. Engineering is working on it." I truly hope engineering is not being paid by the hour!! And it does indeed make you want to walk away. Although you hit a new glitch in not being able to post photos in comments. It would let me last night but then cut me off after two or three, saying to refresh and try again. What happens when you refresh? You lose it all!! It has truly made our viewing season a not so pleasant one. Hope you can post again soon. Kate

Have you submitted a complaint to the powers that be using the "contact us" link below and a link back to any threads you know of where folks have complained about posting issues, either photos or text? I figure if enough folks complain, it might get fixed. I have sent a complaint with several links and am urging others to do the same.
