So it is just me ;).

(Nice pic floral)

What a fine picture peren.all.

It is still the case that I cant upload pics :(.

(I hit "submit" and there is a longer then usual delay and then poof the post to be is completely gone :( )

Rouge, can you add posts in the comment section?

Fine for me. Salvia glabrascens ‘shiho’, leucosceptrum japonicum, and my first tomato harvest for the year (Momotaro tomato )

Hmm... seems like with mobile uploads the photos kinda shrink

can you add posts in the comment section?

Do you mean...can I post, as in this thread? As far as I can tell I can post successfully sans pictures.

I think Sherry meant if you could add a pic as a comment as opposed to adding a pic to an OP.

You are right, Laurie. Wondered if you could add a photo in the comment section after you start a new post. This past summer some members in the Daylily forum could only add pics in comments, not in the original post. This wasn’t ideal but it did work for most members that were having trouble posting photos.

I've been busy (home projects - exterior painting..chimney repair..new roof) and haven't been posting..I wanted to see if I could post pics..good to hear that peren could edit a comment!..look what a "helper" for the chimney guy did!..dumped wet cement by 2 of my neighbor's trees..I was in front working outside..the company owner was on the roof..we didn't know that he did this..did you hear me scream when I saw it the next day?..they came back and cleaned up the mess..it was 6 inches thick in some spots..the young guy was very quiet and embarrassed..I can't believe that he didn't know better..the owner gave me $100..

I don't see an option to edit my comment..

ETA I can see the edit function and am testing if I can add this comment.

can you put a pic .. in a reply to your own original post?

I was wondering where you were nicholsworth and would have contacted you to check in soon if you had not posted. Some workmen are so thoughtless and I am glad they cleaned it up....after I heard you scream lol!

It seems when Houzz malfunctions we get hit at different times and recover at different times. I wonder if it is geographic or the device we use.

peren..I've been stressing for days on end watching multiple contractors working by my plants..the work's finished now and the house looks good but my plants are dusty..some are bent or broken..there's bits of cement..shingles..plastic..cellophane from the backside of the shingles..scattered around mixed in with my falling leaves..most were considerate but construction is just messy..only ONE guy was a fool and completely thoughtless..at least this happened in the fall and I'll have a fresh start next spring..

That is funny: I downloaded one picture, but when I tried to submit, my post disappeared. Try again in the next message.

”I wonder if it is geographic or the device we use.”

I am using my iPhone, like always these days. And in Ontario, 80-90 minutes’ drive from Rouge.

And there my second post with two pictures disappeared again. A first for me.

And one picture disappears too.

I never use my phone (except to take the photos and then download to my computer and/or icloud) and I have not had an issue posting photos at all. In fact, just posted one this morning on a hummingbird thread.

IMO, dealing with a phone and this website is just far too much of a bother and prone to all sorts of problems......I prefer my sanity intact :-)

I have now for years used my phone for all my posts. I have never had an issue, so my sanity is perfectly fine, usually.

Just an old picture from the computer, to see if it makes a difference.

Well, GG, you are on to something, it seems ;-).

my new paint, chimney and roof..I can post pics from my Samsung phone but can't edit or delete a comment..

Once again tested editing. Which didn't work for quite a while and now does both on my PC and on my Android phone.

My problems posting pictures continue.

My new Pixel 3 phone takes much better pictures than my previous cell BUT it is hit and miss that I can post such pictures to this site after first dloading them to my laptop.

I know almost right away if the the photo won't take.

IF the photo shows an unexpected rotation in the post (you know how all pictures show slightly "dull" colours just prior to be "accepted") THEN it is my experience these days that it will never load completely to the post...disappointing for sure.

Other sites where I post gives the option of "pulling" the picture from Google Photos but not at houzz.com :(.

I just tried my phone without Wifi, via LTE, but the whole post disappeared again :-(.

Rouge, I have a picture of my begonia, but no way to post it. Grrrr.

rouge and others try https://www.gardenweb.com instead. It has far fewer issues.

I never enter through Houzz

Thanks peren.all. Not perfect but it seems better.

Thanks peren.all. I am always logged in via GW, but I tried your link, just to see if it made a difference. Alas, no picture.

Try, try, try again. Nope...

I am back in business! After I updated to the new iOS, it now asks what size I want to load a picture. I will have to figure out which sizes Houzz will accept, but small worked in another forum. Here comes the begonia, Rouge!

On its side. Grrrr.

I am always envious of your ability to grow perennial hardy begonia.

(If Lost Horizons is still a go come 2020 I think I will try again).

For convenience I thought I would try to post via my cell phone but this is problematic for as soon as I use the space bar the previous word (and so the first word in the post) gets deleted :(. Any one else experience this phenomena?

If my little plants survive, I can give you one again. I have several, I am going to try them in a few different spots.

I lost my beautiful Cyclamen coum in our wet summer. That hurts, I love that cheerful little thing, blooming right from under the snow. I do have seedlings, but they are tiny. Hederifolium is blooming now, but coum was my favourite.

Rouge, we are having problems posting photos on the daylily posts. Finally managed a post with two photos, any more photos and it disappeared.

Sherry

I am wondering if it is in part related to the quality/size of the photo being uploaded to a thread?

Does anyone know if there is a limit as to the size (ie MB) that one can upload to a houzz thread. For example most recently I am unable to upload a 6.9 MB picture.

I said above that I can post pictures, but only if I upload them smaller than original. “Small” worked for me, see above, I will now try the same picture as “medium”. In the next post, so I don’t have to write this again. People on other forums have the same experience.

That works too. Now “large”.

Large works too. Now original size.

No, disappeared. It was 3.5 MB. But the others still on their side.

Thanks for your experiments gdinie.

So I think that must be the issue with my difficulties posting pics as my new phone, purchased late last month takes superb, but large MB pictures. Does Houzz show anywhere the details of posting pictures?

I have never seen info from Houzz about posting pictures. Do you have an iPhone or another make? IPhone’s latest iOS update (13), makes it very easy to upload pictures in smaller formats. Once you have indicated a picture, you can choose to download it in a smaller format, like for email attachments.

I have been having trouble too. I went to my settings and cleared my cookies and cache in chrome. Then when I posted my recent comment, when it wants you to select a size, I choose medium rather than actual and it worked. However as many people have said, I made my post without the photo. Once that went, I went in to make a comment on my own post and put the picture there. That worked!
