Hm, I thought it did. At least my posts do.

I think they show up in both places.

I believe it's one and the same now. If you go to gardenweb it auto-redirects to Houzz. It's the same end point. There are no longer two separate forums from my understanding. So if you post on Houzz it shows up on gardenweb.com and vice versa. I believe Houzz now owns both domains and it's ultimately the same landing page from both URLs.

Maybe Emily can correct me if I'm wrong?

This is what Emily said here:

"When you post on Houzz using the new format, you have the ability to cross post your discussion in up to three topics. This should do a couple things. First, your discussion will get it in front of more relevant people that may be able to help you. Second, there is no longer a need to post the same discussion in multiple forums and have the conversation scattered across them. You don't have to cross post it at all, however. You can post to just one topic."

What Emily says above pertains to posting in multiple categories (IMO this is because houzz is going to be consolidating categories in the near future to only the most active such as kitchens, bathrooms, and home decorating) However, the OP's question was related to a unique post, and I believe the answer to be - it's one and the same. If you post to kitchens on houzz, it also posts to kitchens on gardenweb. Emily's point is that you can also now X-post that to other forums with a single click.

I haven't seen a thing in cross post between GW and Houzz but I only use my phone. The Houzz app does not show any forums and the advice area never has any GW posts.

This post is cross-posted in both GW Kitchens, and Houzz. But I have a post of my own, that only shows in GW Kitchens. I have no idea why the different behavior.

I still use gardenweb.com on laptop and don't have issues finding forums like others have said previously. Don't like the app, unless I'm saving pics. If you try to log in from Safari on iPhone, it directs you to Houzz. Dislike!

Hm, interesting. Couple of observations:

1. So, for example, on the Houzz side at [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kitchen-discussions-dsbr0-bd~t_28581[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kitchen-discussions-dsbr0-bd~t_28581) there's this thread:

[Help visualizing kitchen with white cabinets?[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/help-visualizing-kitchen-with-white-cabinets-dsvw-vd~5009947?n=30)Posted by Ryan Pulliamyesterday

[Before & After [(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/before-and-after-dsbr0-bd~t_28562)[Kitchens[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kitchen-discussions-dsbr0-bd~t_28581)[20 Comments[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/help-visualizing-kitchen-with-white-cabinets-dsvw-vd~5009947)

However, when I'm on the GW side, at http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/kitchbath

I can't find that thread.

2. On the other hand, threads that are posted in GW Kitchens appear also in Houzz Kitchens. For example, GW: Stacked Cabinets to 10 ft ceiling. What is your combination? Posted by ILoveRed

and on Houzz side,

[Stacked Cabinets to 10 ft ceiling. What is your combination?[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/stacked-cabinets-to-10-ft-ceiling-what-is-your-combination-dsvw-vd~5013094?n=55)Posted by ILoveRed50 minutes ago[2 Comments[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/stacked-cabinets-to-10-ft-ceiling-what-is-your-combination-dsvw-vd~5013094)

3. Summary:

GW Kitchens ---> posts in GW but also posts in Houzz Kitchens [obviously with no additional cross postings]

Houzz Kitchens WITH cross postings (like lighting, Before/After, ...) ---- posts in Houzz but DOES NOT in GW Kitchens.

Houzz Kitchens WITHOUT cross postings ---- No idea and I don't want to try it out.

4. Conclusion.

What does that mean? Probably that the GW posters could significantly slow down/reduce the activity in Houzz Kitchens if they stopped posting.

I’m responding to you and the web address at the top of the page is

http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/5011833/houzz-vs-garden-web?n=10

nosoccermom - exactly.

I posted this thread below, apparently in Houzz, and tagged it with B&A, and Kitchens.

[https://www.houzz.com/discussions/backsplash-done-getting-closer-dsvw-vd~4986137[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/backsplash-done-getting-closer-dsvw-vd~4986137)

I really wanted the thread to display here, http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/kitchbath

as that is much more "kitchen-centric", but it doesn't show up there at all. It's absurd. It's tagged with "Kitchens" but does not get posted there. Now that I know this, not sure why I would even bother posting in the HOUZZ section at all as there is no clear delineation in the types of threads (kitchen vs flooring vs etc.)

I really wish they would get their sh$t straight on these forums and make it more useful and logical for everyone.

rebeccamomof123, If you post to kitchens on houzz, it also posts to kitchens on gardenweb.

Clearly, that is not happening.

@ chess

"rebeccamomof123, If you post to kitchens on houzz, it also posts to kitchens on gardenweb."

Could be, actually, probably this is the case UNLESS you add some other forum as a cross post. Then, it doesn't.

Adding another forum, as in tagging? So by tagging a post with “Kitchens” it means it does NOT show up in the Kitchens section? Oh that makes a LOT of sense. NOT. :-)

It shows up in the Houzz Kitchens discussion, but not in GW Kitchens. The thread on [Help visualizing kitchen with white cabinets[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/help-visualizing-kitchen-with-white-cabinets-dsvw-vd~5009947?n=30) is in Houzz Kitchens, Home Decorating, and Before/After, but I can't see it in GW Kitchens.

Fortunately, I say, because otherwise we get all the irrelevant threads in GW Kitchens, too, as in HD.

GW Kitchens is the more useful section as far as I am concerned. That was my point, and that is where I assumed my post would show if tagged. Heck I can’t even SEE a “Kitchens” section on Houzz other than a shopping and a photos section. I think I can see that on my PC, but the mobile site ( not referring to the app- I don’t even have that installed on my phone) does not show me a Houzz Kitchens site...on my phone.

If you are in GardenWeb, with the green subject posts, and you want to post in Kitchens, you go to Kitchens and post. It will be in GW Kitchens, not Houzz. If you want to post and you are in the black titled post areas of Houzz, then you have that big banner at the top that asks you to post something. If you post there, it goes in Houzz. If you choose Kitchens as your first area to tag, it will show up in GW Kitchens too. If you choose Remodeling as your first tag, it will show up in Remodeling. If you tag multiple forums, it only shows up in GW in the first forum tagged. So, if you tag Remodeling, Kitchens, and Plumbing, it will only show up in Remodeling in GW.

Don't ask me why. I only noticed the pattern. I didn't do the code.

The Cook's Kitchen - AHA! Thank you!! (Now why didn't they post this explanation somewhere?? )

"If you are in GardenWeb, with the green subject posts, and you want to

Kitchens, not Houzz. "

Well, not in my case. When I'm in GW and post in GW Kitchens, my posts --- both in threads that I start and threads I respond to --- also show up in Houzz Kitchens [obviously with no additional cross postings because that's no option in GW].

If you are in GardenWeb, with the green subject posts, and you want to post in Kitchens, you go to Kitchens and post. It will be in GW Kitchens, not Houzz.

I do see this thread on the GW kitchens page, FWIW.

Kitchens has always been my main GW thread but I hardly ever come here anymore because it's just too much trouble to get here and I can't abide the Houzz format.

For me, I can reach GW Kitchens only if I am logged in and I use the GW link from either Bathrooms or Home Decorating. However, to get into the proper set of forums in the first place, I must log in via the Sign In page on one of the forums which never have Houzz formatting, like Home Decorating Conversations or Cooking.

Hm, I can still reach GW Kitchens from Houzz from the Stories and Advice menu, then Home Forums, then Kitchens.

I can't find Home Decorating Conversations anywhere, so need to use my bookmark.

I have to use a bookmark to access the GW kitchen forum now. I've tried browsing through the houzz version of the kitchen forum (which is where it takes me if I click through the links I used to use to get her) - each time I've spent just a few minutes looking for useful, informed posts, and then remembered I need to use my bookmark to find GW.

You are one of the lucky ones. For many of us, that's now a redirect to the Houzz side. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for who's affected by this.
