Once Again My Post Didn't Show Up

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

I spent about 20 minutes on a post with photos and lots of written descriptions, and guess what? It looked like it posted, but it never showed up. As much as I like all of you on here, I don't know how much more I can take of Houzz. I have no such problems on NGA or the Daylilies Pictures group on Facebook. I do know if I post those photos again, there won't be any commentary with it.

I am so sorry Debra, I have been having some issues, in that sometimes it does not post a picture that showed up before I hit submit. I have edited and got it on. A pain to do, but not like submitting a whole post and losing it. That has not happened to me in a while, but I don't initiate many posts. Frustrating.

This is now the third post I've made that went through and showed up on my screen but never showed up on the thread list. Ridiculous!

Thanks for sharing that Ron. I did not know any of those stories. They all touched me, and they made me think of many other stories there are out there. I travel a lot on my job and in pursuit of my other passion in life; trout fishing. I see men and women in uniform in almost every airport I travel to, but I particularly see many on my trips to Charlotte. Some of these folks are going "over there" (or getting ready to) and a few of them I've met were coming home. I never go by without letting these people know that many people here at home, whom they have never met, care deeply about them, worry for them, wish them a swift and safe return, and thank them for their service. I hope these people never ever want for their fellow Americans respect and concern. And I hope that if you are reading this that you will reach out to these people when you see them in your own life, shake their hand, thank them for the job they do, and let them know in some small but sincere way that you care. You'll be doing that person and yourself a great deal of good in the process.

Didn't post for a while, now can't find my own post

Well, sorry that didn't turn out to be the one. I posted on a thread 3 or 4 days ago, where the person was feeling guilty because her contractor had his saws stolen right out of his truck in front of her house. She got a lot of responses from most people telling her that although feeling bad about it was natural, she wasn't the one who failed to secure the truck. I posted too, and now, I cannot find the thread. I've wandered back through the pages, I've search my user name, I've searched for keywords. Anybody seen this thread? Red

This was awesome cawfe. I could not have put it all better myself. I guess some people on here say things to tear apart a thread, and then will say the opposite in order to tear apart another thread. And why do they do it all? Who knows for sure, though I have a good idea. Its sad how some people have so much hate inside and spew it out all the time on complete strangers. I can imagine what must come out in their own lives to the people they know. As much as I dislike the way they act on here I do feel bad for them. Their lives are filled with so much misery and hatred it is eating them up! Their whole life revolves around this misery and anger, that can not be productive for them or for their children! Hatred is not a good value to pass on, though from what they have told us here about "being honest" to their children and what they discuss with their children it is almost inevidable that they passed that hatred onto their children. Sadly they probably did it to keep their children from liking their fathers becuase they were wronged by him. How selfish it is to make your child dislike their own father because of your personal issues with him! Get a friend to complain to about your ex, do not use your children! Oh well. When I log off this forum I go back to my wonderful husband and all 4 of OUR wonderful children. Oh ya, I said OUR becuase they all live with us full-time and we are the custodial parents. We raise them. My son sees his dad often, but I do ALL mom stuff for the stepkids while their mom sits on her a$$ at her house, across the country, with all her "new" kids not paying attention to the ones she left behind. That was her choice to abandon her children. I go back to my happy job. And I enjoy my life. And at night I cuddle into bed with my dh. Sure beats a cold bed and thoughts of hatred!

Plumber didn't show up for two days because he was in jail... what to
Q

First, review your contract with the GC and read the section about terminating the contract, then reread it a couple more times. Make sure you understand what you have signed. Even if I expected to fire the contractor, I would not start the conversation going that direction. I would ask a few very open ended questions and see where the conversation went from there. Your contractor may have any or several of a multitude of reasons why his performance isn't up to par. If it doesn't seem like his heart is in the job, ask him whether he wants to continue with the project. He might be upset with the question, in which case he will be even more upset when you tell him you are firing him. Or, he might be relieved that you are willing to let him out of his commitments. If that's the case, you may be able to negotiate a smooth exit more cheaply than if you just abruptly pull the plug. Rules vary in different states and even from crossing municipal boundary lines so I don't know whether he is allowed to do the work himself. Just because he preferred to have a plumber do the work does not necessarily mean that he is not capable. He might be too busy, might not enjoy that work, might be good at it but very slow, maybe might just hate plumbing because he's spent years doing it and is ready to do anything else...

Pictures not showing up is sometimes because they haven't fully uploaded before you hit submit. They'll start off kind-of greyed and then become full color when they're ready. As for the whole post not showing up, I'm not sure but maybe it was too big? You might try breaking up into a couple pictures in the first post and then subsequent pictures in the comments. I don't know what would cause it to look like it posted but not actually have posted unless it's some weird timeout issue or hitting a limitation that's cause it to bounce ...

One thing I’ve learned, you can’t hit submit while the photos are grayed or faded. If I wait til the photos are true I never have a problem.sometimes it takes a considerable amount of time

There was no trouble with the pictures. They were not grayed, nor were they too large. My photos are low resolution screen shots. Each time, when I hit post, it goes through and shows me the whole post, and it says posted "just now." But then it's not on the list for others to see. This is a totally different problem that we were having last season.

Debra , I have run into the same thing . I am not sure if you do this but I always copy my post now before submitting it . that way if it disappears I can paste it in the topic box again and I just have to add the pictures again . I have also run into making a post , submitting it , it says "just now" but I head back to the main page and it is not there . I have found if I move to another post and then go back to the main page suddenly it is there . It's a real pain in the patoot !

Another thing that is happening again is I am not getting notifications that there are any new posts. This seems to turn on and of at someone's whim. One day I get them and then suddenly the notifications stop . And then they will suddenly start up again . No rhyme or reason.

Isn't this around the same time as last year when some brainiac at Houzz decided to do new software so we couldn't post any pictures?.....I'm sorry you are having trouble Debra. NGA is a wonderful site, but when it comes to posting pictures during the daylily glut it's not the same as our more intimate group. Hopefully, the situation will right itself this year............Maryl
