I am the same as Maddielee! iPhone and safari browser, no issues at all...except sometimes my pictures look stretched out when I post them. Not sure if that is bc of the phone or something else, though.

Me, too. iPhone on Safari. No problems

DLM, I haven't been able to post from my phone since the last Houzz update. It does the same thing yours does. Wait, I take it back, there was a time or two when I could post for a day, but then it went away. Not on the app.

I don't use the app either. It just doesn't work well, but I find that's true of a lot of apps that are supposed to replace a full browser site. Consequently, I always use a browser, usually Safari, and the full site.

No problem posting from my android.

Well with the exception of whatsayyou so far iPhones and Safari seem to be the only thing consistently working. Are you using the app or bookmarks through a web browser whatsayyou?

I have the same problem as you, DLM. I have a Samsung, and it doesn't matter what browser I use, it erases everything after I type it. I don't even try anymore.

Samsung, Chrome and bookmark. This comment sent from my phone.

Just logged in with my iPhone on Safari using my old gardenweb bookmark. No problems here.

I don't get it. I'm have an android, use chrome and use bookmarks for each forum that i frequent. Why does it work for whatsayyou?

edit to add - just checked something. When I access any of the forums from my phone the web address starts out as ths.gardenweb.com/whateverforum and switches to houzz.com/whateverforum as the page loads. I have no idea why. It's the same bookmarks I use from my laptop with chrome and the address comes up as gardenweb without the ths. This is beyond my limited IT understanding.

I can...Android on an old Nexus 5 from Firefox browser, with allllll the ad blockers. :P

I only use my iphone & Ipad to access this site. On the ipad, I use Firefox for everything including Houzz and I never have any of the issues I read about here. However, using firefox for this site on my iphone is a completely different story. It’s like the screen is too small for the pages and one menu is layered over another so I can’t open anything. The fix was Safari, for some reaon, the site works fine on that platform.

I use ad blockers too...who ever came up with that idea/feature was a genious.

Forgot to add, I never use any of the company aps. They never work right and it’s annoying that we’re always being pushed in that direction.

No problem posting from my Samsung android phone. I use Chrome, not the Houzz app. I'm on the phone right now.

I've also posted from my Kindle - no app either. No trouble there.

PS I avoid using apps as much as possible. Rather go in "direct" than in what is usually "dummied-down" mode.

I've never tried posting photos from the phone. Mostly because I take most pictures with a real camera, which I port to the laptop. Easier to crop, manipulate there, where I can actually SEE them on a real screen.

Hmm, I enter at www.gardenweb.com/discussions/... and it stays on GW, not Houzz, for my entire visit. No matter the device.

On some of my android devices I have similar problems, however if I change my browser it's usually fixed. I generally use Chrome which is the one I have problems with. My other browsers are Firefox and kiwi. It seems like a compatibility problem with houzz and Chrome here.

Also I use SwiftKey keyboard app don't know if that has any effect on the situation.

I never use the houzz app only enter through the browser and a bookmark.

I seldom use my phone for this, but when I do, have no problems. I have a Samsung phone and use Chrome. I also type in the gardenweb address. I do not like using a phone for typing or texting.

I rarely use my cell phone to post, but being on vacation i am. I posted on bbstx Help me style this dress please, a few days ago and my post showed up as the poster Hu-434522333! I would post, submit, delete. Finally the problem got resolved but made me wonder how someone else could post my message!!

Just wondering if those having trouble are signed in to houzz on their phones?

Using Android on a Samsung and an old LG, with Chrome browser, and I haven't had any trouble, but sometimes I've had to sign back in.

I can't create a new thread on my phone just on my PC. My phone is Chrome and is an Android. I can post on other people's threads though.

I am the last person on planet earth who understands techy issues yet here I go offering my 2 cents anyway....

I wonder if it's a weird interaction between your browser and this site's interface, because I have zero problems posting here - but run into exactly what you are talking about with a tablet and Facebook. It's annoying as heck and I can't figure out how to fix it. On the tablet and Facebook, every time I type a word it deletes the work that preceded it. So I just don't use my tablet if I want to post a response on Facebook.

I understand just how annoying it is.

Patriceny might be on to something. I just made a post on the Test forum to check, and had no problem at all.

Maybe to check settings/preferences/updates...?

Just checked and Chrome is up to date on my phone - wish that had been the issue. There was a time before one of the many Houzz updates when I could post from my phone with no issue. I don't remember exactly when that changed because I' don't regularly posted from my phone.

If I manually type in gardenweb.com in Chrome on my phone it brings me to a combined page of posts from many forums with a note at the top GardenWeb has been updated for info in the new look and features please visit the FAQ. I tried typing a test response on one of those posts and was able do that without the words being erased - didn't try to post it since it was just a nonsense test. But when I follow my bookmarks which are all gardenweb.com addresses, they change to houzz addresses as the page loads! If there is a setting to undo that I'd love to know.

Trying to do some back door testing. Actually typing this on my phone! Now let's see if it posts. And just for grins let's see if I can slip a picture in here.

Well what do you know. Now to see if I can get my bookmark changed.

Glad you got it fixed. I don't have trouble posting to others comments, but I can't start a new post in this forum or the DIY forum from my phone. Neither forum is on the list of options and they make you choose. Do others see these options when they start a new thread from their phone?

Daisy how did you get to this thread to post your comment? Can you get to the conversation forum?

I don't have any problem posting a comment on someone else's thread. I can get to the forum as it is saved under "my topics". But there is no Home Decorating Discussions in the drop down menu that you have to choose from when starting your own thread - only Home Decorating. Weird.

Ah now I see. I just tried it from my phone. Unlike on my laptop when starting s new thread the forum you are in is automatically chosen and you can opt for more if you want. They just can't seem to get it together here.
