OT Where else do you read on Houzz?
Comments (24)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....See MoreOT:Is it just me, or is Houzz increasingly "mobile user unfriendly"?
Comments (14)Well, I am a Flat Earther, and they are even more technologically inept than the Luddites. I post from my newish desktop (a Dell) using Firefox as my browser. My wizard son in law provides all our computers and sets them up. Here's how I get here: type letter "r" in the Google search box. The drop down will show Rose Forum at the top of Google's list. Click on Rose Forum, which then comes up at the top of the search results. Click on Rose Forum again. And I'm in. That's a typed letter "r" and two clicks. I've never once had to sign in. I don't even remember my password. We have passwords?? I post comments and photos all the time with no problem. How do I do this ?? Is it the gnomes that run everything in that little black box, a so called computer? Diane...See MoreWeek 174 - OT GW forums on mobile & Houzz issues on participation
Comments (36)On my iPhone, I use the 'frequently used sites' icons that are there when I click on Safari and it takes me right to it. No (lousy) App for me either. But I also learned the trick (from a fellow GW poster) to find it anytime, from the Houzz Home page drop down Menu. And I always use a mobile devise (iPhone and iPad Mini) but it also has worked on a PC or Android devise when I've tried it. That other GW post was some time back when Houzz was reaking havoc with our beloved GW Forums soon after the transition. Everyone was having issues with their bookmarks and previous ways of finding GW. The poster mentioned that it was now listed under the 'Advice' section!! I'm sorry I don't remember who it was to give them credit for that marvelous discovery. Previously I believe there was a 'GardenWeb' listing directly from the main menu. So even just now, from Safari, I Googled Houzz, clicked on the Home Page, then click on the Menu icon to get here: Then click on the 'Advice' section and you will see 'Houzz Discussions' and 'Gardenweb Discussions': I never knew there were two separate Forums before. Then to get here for instance, click on the 'Home Forums' under the GW Discussions. And then you have all of the Home Forum topics: Or the wonderful Garden Forums etc. I'm not sure if everyone else is doing it like this or something different. But this simple direction has helped me immensely. I don't comment often (especially having delt with long term family health problems) but this Forum is and has been such a lifeline for me. It is informative, entertaining and has such emotional continuity with the history of such great posters. The knowledge base and the time to giving help from everyone is just amazing. And yes I quite agree with the frustrations of new Houzz posters who don't know the GW ways and other irritations. For instance I was no longer getting email notifications on comment follow ups like I used to on the old GW. I'll see what happens after this one though. But I plan on sticking around for the long haul. Sharing knowledge and helping; isn't that what GW is all about? Paying it Forward....See MoreHouzz icon weirdness
Comments (7)Bunny - I tried to install something on my old iPad and it wouldn't install because it wasn't running the latest iOS. Then I tried updating the software and nothing happened so I checked with Apple. My iPad was the first generation iPad Air with only 16GB and was 10 years old. So I decided to use my Chase points and they were offering a 25% bonus redemption at the time. Since we're not traveling anywhere - and haven't for the last 2 1/2 years - I've accumulated a lot of credit card points and I always check to see when they have special offers. Last year I used Am Ex points for a new MacBook Pro...See Moreroselee z8b S.W. Texas
