I realized the same thing today. I had asked her earlier if she could see a message option under the "activity" tab and she said no, but I realized that my options were set to only allow certain people to message me.

It's weird because I could have sworn I enabled all messaging a long time ago.

I think that maybe it could be dependent on the original programming and how long ago each account was originated. When the programs were moved over to Houzz, some of the fields may not have matched and intergrated property....if that makes sense.

The message option isn’t under “activity”, it’s inside “advanced settings” in the Activity menu. I don’t think people consider messaging an advanced setting or advanced settings a place they should go so it’s over looked.

No I have had it set up messages from the beginning. It changed for some of us a few months ago. I don't know if it's related to Android or browser but I have tried a few different browsers but no luck.

Have you contacted Houzz support? That's what they're there for.

Yes several of us did.

However yesterday there was no option for messaging on the profile page or under activity. Today suddenly there is the message option under activity! Apparently it is back. I have not tried using it yet. That's on my phone. I need to check my other devices. Can you see if I show messaging on mine.

I am amazed and so glad it's back!

Yes, your message tab is showing very clearly :-))

thank you!!

I can see it also.

I bet some people unlocked their messaging. You weren't able to see mine yesterday but I bet you can see it today because I unlocked it after realizing it was set to not allow people to message me unless I was following them.

I don't see my Message button, even thought it's enabled for people to message me. Maybe we can't see our own? I've had people message me, so it must work, somehow.

Raven, can you see mine?

Yes I can now. Under activity.

Mine is not back. I can receive messages but can’t initiate one. I haven’t had the ability to do so for some time.

I sent you a message, OutsidePlaying, just to see if you can send me one back.

Jasdip I just sent you a message. Let's see if it works.

Outside playing mine has been missing for a while like yours and others but just suddenly it is now showing up under the activity tab. It was not there at all just a couple days ago. So some changes must be made.

Since y'all got the messaging working, how about why I can't "save" anything. When it was bookmarks, it worked just fine. Save does nothing.

Sherry,

That just appears to be an upcoming feature. One day I clicked it (after weeks of clicking save with no effect) and was presented with all of those that I had previously saved. I just had to create a folder and choose the ones that I really wanted to keep, seems that when I clicked several times, it saved several times. It seems inactive again. I can only surmise that it isn't 'turned on' yet.

Any other ideas, folks?

I received Jasdip’s message. Just to be clear, I can receive messages, and I can reply to them, but I can’t initiate a message to someone. So if i want to look up someone on this forum and private message them, I can’t do it anymore. Strange, huh?!?

I’ve emailed for help about this issue but have not heard back.
