Do Y'all Like the Way Post Threads are Reversed Now?

7 years ago

Responses to the original poster are in last to first order. Don't like it at all. To me it is equivalent to starting to read a book on the last page and reading each previous page to finish the book when you get to the very first page.

It is also vexing that to reply now, you have to go all the way to the bottom to reply to a response that is immediately under the initial post.

I just tried to submit a request to customer support (a link someone posted previously https://help.houzz.com/s/app-support?language=en_US) about this issue but am not allowed to do so. One, on two different blocks, has to select an operating system and the only selections are iPad, iPhone, or Android. I am not using any of those and there is no option for selecting Windows 10 desktop. That is just weird IMO. However, I just notice the link has the word “app” in it so that makes sense. Do any of you know the link to use for desktop users?

If you're accessing Houz through a browser, rather than the app, just replace houzz.com in the URL with gardenweb.com and the comments will be in the right order. I assume they'll get around to fixing the glitch eventually.

No and even stranger one I was on a couple of hours ago flopped back and forth when I went to correct a typo.

Edited to suggest try the link that has "app". On this laptop some programs are called apps others are just called programs. I have Windows 10.

Y'all will get a chuckle out of this OR anyone else like bones?
Q

Well..I can say, I have crafted with bones for many years. Must be the Native American in me. When I lived out in the country, and my son's and i would go fishing, I would come to a screeching halt when I saw a clean carcass. When my son's were old enough to drive, and they would see me look back along the road when they were driving..they knew right away to turn around, and 'let mom do what she does'...LOL People who knew what id did would bring me bobcats, armadillo's, cow skulls and most any type of bone. I would use the bobcat skins, ( scraping them and tanning them with salt) I have used deer legs as table legs and gun racks, I made a skeleton for halloween using animal bones. Skulls and Jaw bones I usually painted Native American scenes on them. I would have no problem building a garden trellis or windchimes from bones. I have seen people save the wishbones from turkeys and such, spray paint them gold and tie them to gift boxes for luck. I say, to each their own. My dad used to always tell us when he was young, they used the turkey breast bones for ice skates..LOL ( I never know when to believe what he says..LOL)...and you bet..I would have stopped and picked those bones up ;) Loved your story..LOL

What are y'all doing about mosquitos?
Q
Comments (25)
Mosquitos are already dive bombing us when we step outside. They are so hungry even dryer sheets hanging out of all my pockets are not working as usual to keep them away. I have to wear mosquito repellant. The same people mentioned in the OP is still breeding them. They just don't think the standing water in buckets set along the roof line and left for weeks is a problem. I watched a TV show on building the Panama canal. Literally thousands of workers were dying of yellow fever and work stalled. Finally a doctor suspected it was carried by mosquitos and after the a great deal of persuasion the US gov't alloted money to combat them. A concentrated effort was made to dump all water where they might breed and add a little oil to standing water they couldn't dump. This was before the days of insecticides. Private property all over Panama was inspected and people were fined $5 for every wiggle tail found on their property. The next year they were down to 10 cases of yellow fever and just a few cases after that. The canal was finally able to be completed. So just keeping property clear of standing water in which they breed does work. I'm on my way out to toss mosquito dunks in the standing water along the drainage ditches near the house.

Do any of y'all do geneological research?

AltaVista, Google, and TopoZone have been very helpful for on-line searches. The basic TopoZone was free, but now is only available by subscription. That is unfortunate because TopoZone was very good for locating land holdings and obscure, abandonded cemeteries. Towns and villages that no longer exist can be found if those had a post office in the past, or were of note in their day. Where available, TopoZone can show section numbers. With this inforamtion and the legal description of land, one can locate exactly where the land holdings of your ancestors were. This can be very helpful and it adds to the knowledge of living conditions of your ancestors. As an added bonus, TopoZone can show the topology (elevation lines) of the land and this gives one the idea of terrain hilliness or flatness. Major peaks, hills, gullies, and streams are readily identifiable which is an additional aid to finding "the old home place". The GLO (goverment land office) has records of land patents. Some of these are duplicated in state, on-line achives. A land patent is the first official record of land ownership, many of which were purchased by homesteading. Military warrants was another instrument of purchase. However, beware that a military warrant (grant) could be sold to another party - some were sold at 10 cents to the dollar, thus a particular plot of land could be recorded in the name of the warrant but was held by different person. In the majority of cases, warrants were executed by the person who earned those.

Can y'all stand one more holiday decor thread?
Q

I bought two new garlands this year for the chandelier, have lots of bling. Also used the matching candle rings to hang on the side medallions. I knew they had lights that ran on batteries, but I really didn't think I'd turn them on because 1) didn't want to get the tall ladder out each time and move furniture to turn them on and off. Then some time later I was reading the packaging and here they have timers! But I still didn't think I'd put the batteries in - until today. I climbed up there and, hey, it looked pretty cool. So at 9pm tonight I moved furniture and climbed and put the garlands on timer. Now when I turn the Xmas tree and other lights, plus the chandelier, off for the night at 11:30p the garland will stay lit most of the night. Not very good pics but I never could take a nice photo of my lit tree either at night.

Unfortunately the above (or maybe it's below..... :-)) suggestion does not work. I access ONLY through GardenWeb and the order of posts varies from first to last, last to first and now and again will even switch up in the same post, depending on when you visit it.

I am not convinced that this is a glitch......I think they are trying out some new software and they intend to reverse the chronology.

I like the order the posts are in because if there are many comments and I have already read most of them, I can click on "updated 6 minutes ago" and that takes me to the very bottom immediately and I just scroll up to see where I left off. It makes sense to me.

gardengal, sorry it doesn't work for you. I've tried the switch on my Android tablet and my desktop (Windows 10) browser, both using Chrome, and I see all the posts the way they used to be. Maybe it depends on which browser one is using?

This one here is the right way for me. As in the first response is under the post. I was just looking at the Name that Plant forum and was really confused because it was the other way around (and didn’t really look at the times things were posted)

I use Windows 10 as well. Whatever is happening is completely random - it makes no difference how you sign in, what browser or device one is using. It just comes and goes.

So far, every thread I have tried is reversed. And it doesn't matter whether I use Houzz or Gardenweb. Sure hope it is changed back.

And I am finding that almost all the threads I have visited today are back in the normal order of the newest comments last.
