Yes, many are aware of it and not all together happy :-(( It is really messing up the Landscape Design forum with all sorts of non-landscaping questions showing up. Forum members have complained to the Houzz powers that be but nothing has changed..........

Apparently when someone posts to Design Dilemmas, one gets a drop down of topics that your post may be pertinent to, including a number of GW forums. If you pick one of the topics - like Landscape Design - it will post on that forum regardless if it has anything at all to do with it. Very frustrating and unnecessary.

Maybe that's why decorating questions are showing up in remodeling.

And in Furniture, too. Messy!

And also probably why so many pros are showing up, never seen before. Most are good about not spamming, but a few are awful at posting ads.

I do enjoy seeing the influx of new people, but we've had a fair number of people asking for advice who aren't posting photos, so that has been a bit of a challenge.

Yes, thanks. I actually came over from the Houzz side when the merger happened, what, 2 years ago? Because we were building our house and GW seemed more appropriate.

Even though I've only been around a couple years I don't care for the change either.

Is Houzz also automatically migrating their posts to other forums or are people just really bad about choosing where to post their question?

I have the home decorating forum saved to my favorites so I never see the main houzz page. How does that work if one doesn't go through that selection process? If I post something on this forum I assumed it would stay right here under this forum and not showing up in other houzz sections.

I think that there's something happening when people post to the Design Dilemma Forum on Houzz that helps them direct to Garden Web and double posts here. We all know how the forums here have fallen off in terms of posts/traffic, perhaps this is Houzz's way to get more people to the Garden Web side of things?

Gardengal explained how it works in the first thread.

It does feel different, but the truth is that most of the people who are regulars here in Conversations seldom post on the decorating side and haven't for years, so the forum was dying.

Hi All! Thanks for posting and providing feedback on the crossposting. Houzz does not do this automatically, each poster selects which categories their post should go to, and some may be better at this than others. When you see something that doesn't belong, please flag it and our team can take a look and help out. There may be a learning curve for some folks to understand the best places for each kind of discussion, but hopefully, overall, this change should result in more help for everyone. People that have been around for a long time, like some of you, are excellent guides for new people when you model how the forums work and we really appreciate that! Please don't hesitate to reach out or use that handy flag button when you need to as everyone learns.

Thank you, Emily.
