Before the GW/Houzz merge I used to look at--and occasionally post--pics from Houzz, but then when we were forced to play together, I will admit that I wouldn't even look at Houzz for a long time. Lol, I wouldn't even give them my home address for the free gifts that were randomly sent to GW members. I kept posting to GW, and eventually got over my snit fit, so when there are no new layout questions in Kitchens, I search kitchen related posts in Design Dilemma, and occasionally read the Before & After section, and Stories, if it's a really slow day. I wasn't aware there was an 'Other' in Design Dilemma, but it seems to be like the GW Kitchen Table, where you can discuss any subject, and the conversation sides that several of our forums used to have before the merge. I think Home Dec is the only one that survived. Design Dilemma moves too fast for me, so if I comment on a thread, I bookmark it so I can find it again, without searching a dozen pages.

Since I cannot get the new links to work, I changed the originating post to match what I put in the new Read Me thread. It will have to suffice for now. Still around 1.1K comments, but at least the main information is immediately visible without having to try to get to the first few comments. BTW...has anyone else seen that the comments are all jumbled up and that it's almost impossible to find the early comments? [I did submit a ticket to Support. Let's see if I have any better luck this time than in previous attempts.]

>>> Posting Pictures - Your own as well as those saved on Houzz <<< Your pictures: Getting the picture ready to post. Note that the picture should be in "jpg" or "png" format. If using a camera, upload the picture to your phone or computer/laptop or tablet. If taking a screenshot, save it as "jpg" Once you have the picture on your device, you are ready to post the picture. There are two general ways to post your picture/image: #1: Using the "Photo" icon Select the "Photo" icon in the message editing line Navigate to the location of the picture on your device Select the picture Select "Open" The picture will appear in the message box #2: Using the "Houzz Photo" icon Navigate to the location of the picture on your device Select the "Houzz Photo" icon in the message editing line Drag & drop the picture to the right box that says "Browse" Once the picture is clear and the "Insert" button is selectable, select the "Insert" button The picture will appear in the message box Editing Line with "Photo" and "Houzz Photo" icons: Using the "Houzz Photo" Icon Posting a picture saved on Houzz or via a Houzz URL Navigate to the location of the picture on your device Select the "Houzz Photo" icon in the message editing line > If retrieving from your saved pictures in your "Ideabooks", select the picture (box on left) > If retrieving from a Houzz URL, select the "Houzz URL" tab and enter the URL (box on left) In both cases, the picture will appear in the right box that says "Browse" Once the picture is clear and the "Insert" button is selectable, select the "Insert" button The picture will appear in the message box

All my other threads have now mysteriously re-appeared (i.e., I suspect the Houzz bug has been fixed). Let's use the first one I created and let this thread slowly fade away. Here's the one to go to: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5972404/new-to-kitchens-read-me-first-2020-interim#n=1
