I was struggling with the new desktop version a while ago, seems like it was rolled out in stages. It is flaky but I noticed that after you press next and have to choose tags, just uncheck the suggested one and "cacti and succulents" will be there as a default.

Rina and others, I was able to post this new thread, including more than one picture, but after the “next” prompt, I had to scroll down a long list of topics to post in. I chose only this forum, but why should I have to go down and find it, as I was posting from inside this forum??? Ok if they give you a choice to select other forums too, but at least give the possibility to quickly post in the forum you started in... Btw, this was from my iPhone. I don’t know how it works on a computer.

The change caused too much confusion with posts especially for the novice users. If remember correctly, I had seen too many succulent related posts inadvertently posted in “design dilemma” and if you look at how far back those posts go, one will realize some of us seemed to have been affected by this earlier. This is especially true for the mobile platform. It is a nightmare. I was curious why noone complained at that time. Today i have to resubmit my pics 3 times before I can successfully upload more than 3 pics. I thought my mobile carrier or phone was acting up. :-)

Thanks Debbie! It really does seem to fit right in. I'm thinking of going down that whole side of the house. What else would someone else use that space for. Might as well keep it going right? :)

This used to only happen to me when I posted two in a row (when I thought of something I forgot to include) so I would add a "P.S...." in the subject line of the 2nd post to get around the message. Lately though, I'll get that message when I've posted, several others have posted after me, and I post again. In one thread there were maybe 5 other's responses between my initial post and my second one. Very odd. Changing the subject line still works, tho.

I think there are some advertisers that seem to take up the whole page (width-wise) on top. I lose my scroll bar too. Just keep trying until you get a different advertiser and your scroll bar comes back.

Hi audreyandmerle, Welcome to Garden Web. I'm pretty sure suckers off of a female would end up being female bushes. Could you possibly bend a stem down to the ground and pin it to get it started to root before cutting it away from the mother plant? You might try asking also at the link below.The Shrub Forum. Also, here is a list of all of the Gardening Forums, for future reference. All Garden Forums Sue

Thnks, I keep trying but it doesn't move from initial screen. I keep clicking 'Next' but there is no next anything for me. I use laptop, so maybe I am being punished, haha...

Time to leave - I am spending way too much time reading 'nothing' -referring to FAQ and the 'Using houzz' thread.

I posted from my iPad. Maybe it's different? Shouldn't be for ease of use. But maybe it is. Maybe there are bugs they haven't fixed yet in the desktop version but decided to roll out anyway. Bugs and all. We've seen this before. Maybe not with the his site, but with other applications or devices,

That is what I am trying, but after clicking 'Next', nothing happens. Nothing at all. I tried 9 times, on couple of forums to be sure. With photo and without. Nothing. Doesn't post. I will try again later on today, but may just forget about whole houzz after that.

Perhaps try clearing your browser cache and logging out of the site and then back in again.

If you need help on the browser cache thing, I can talk you through it.
