Posting photos.....are there step by step instructions?

8 years ago

Yes, I am technically challenged and need directions a second grader can understand. I have searched but can't find anything yet. I know there were lots of threads on it in February with the switchover, but they don't seem to be popping up for me. Thanks for your help!

It's easy. First locate the photo you want to post -- you need to know where it is on your computer. Make sure it has a name and write that down so you can find it later.

Do you have a Pictures or Photo file? Is it there?If that's too confusing put the photo on the desktop.

Then locate the 5th icon below the space in the box where you type a post. It's a camera icon that says Photo.

For best results, use Google Chrome browser. This site is optimized for it and it will eliminate any problems.

Type in the post you want. Then plate the cursor above where you want the photo to go and click. Then move to the photo icon and click on that.

That takes you to your computer filing system. You may see lists of icons, depending. And you may need to click on desktop or on the Pictures or Photos folder -- wherever the photo was put.

Then click on the name of the photo, and click on Open down on the bottom right of the screen.

That should upload your photo. Then click Submit under the box, just the way you do for any post.

If you get confused or have other questions, post again and we'll help. It's easy once you learn how to locate the photo on the computer.

Lately (in the last week or so) I have not been able to post photos at all from my iPad, which is what I normally use when "lounging" on the Internet. Since I can no longer link to my smugmug account, I have been reduced to the role of commenter and not full participant. If you were previously able to post pics here (post houzz takeover) perhaps it is something on the site that has changed. I certainly have made no changes to my iPad and yet cannot post pictures from it any longer. Houzz.....I can't say what I am thinking about it.

Thanks hopefulauther - Aeonium, will try and source one [or two] of those down. Chemocurl - no problems at all copy/paste and quote all you want,,,,if it means getting pictures posted, I'm all for it. Many message boards don't seem to have decent instructions on posting pics, if they have any info at all. Guess that's where we all come in :-)

I build my bins exactly like yours except I don't: Use hardware cloth, screening, newspaper with colored ink, cloth, or foam. I do: Punch holes in the bottom (easier to guard against and regulate excess water and eliminating the need for foam and cloth.) Use black-ink newspaper only (I know MOST papers use the colored inks that are supposed to be safe, but...) I've made bins with perforated pvc pipe in the bottom for drainage, screen wire, wiffle balls, etc, etc. I found that the best way for me to control moisture in plastic bins is add it only when the newpaper begins to dry out. Otherwise, the only addional moisture is added with food. But many different methods can be used, even mine. Chuckiebtoo

instead of chicken wire try fiber from your local cement co. it comes in small bags, cheap, easy to use and very strong. they use it in concrete floors instead of rebar. i have elephant ear leaves that have stayed together for 10 years. you might be able to get it lowes or building supply store.

Ditto, kswl. I sent a message to Houzz about the problem. They suggested I uninstall the app and re-install, which I did, and it did not solve the problem. I've been posting photos from my iphone, and now am afraid to update the software on my iphone since I know what's coming. So I am presuming the latest ipad update possibly is to blame, but how? Is Houzz that sensitive to Apple updates? This is ridiculous.

Tamara has posted that she has elevated this to tech support in Houzz. She uploaded the new version, 8.4.1 OS on her ipad also and has the same problem. It must be with the new OS so bear with the techs as they try to fix it for us Apple/Safari users.

As of a year ago there had been 200 million ipads sold across the world. If its not THE number one platform for Houzz it has to be at least in the top three. Amazing (pitiful?) that they have to wait for a few gardenweb users to notify them that the site lost function afternthe last IOS update.

I have complained repeatedly to houzz tech people about various issues. Photos shouldn't upload sideways from Firefox and Safari. Links shouldn't disappear or move out of where you put them in the text. Photos should go in where you place the cursor, not jump around. Hello houzz??????

They told me this site is optimized for Google Chrome. That is a joke. I got the same install/uninstall "blame the user" pablum from them. It's complete bs. The site is not properly optimized for mobile. If it was, there wouldn't be a problem with posting photos from ipads.

Either they are going to poke their tech people and get them to fix it or they will continue to lose traffic.

I'm not knocking my head against brick walls to tell them things don't work repeatedly and be patronized. They are getting paid the big bucks to know that. Unless they don't use the site, which wouldn't surprise me as it's run that way.

Has anyone reported this bug to Apple? Seems to me they're the 1s responsible, since it is their OS.....
