using Houzz/Gardenweb and ALL the Forums?

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

I have been using these forums for many years, but I find that whatever "improvements" have been made, have not improved the ease of use for me.

With that, I was pretty sure there is a cooking or baking or recipe forum but I am not able to find one. I do have the list of those I selected to follow, and when I try to get the list of all forums,it only includes the gardening.

1- Is there a cooking forum (and if so please can you link it and then I guess I have to "folllow " it to have it readily accessible ?.

2- Is there a way to get the list of all the forums? I know many are pretty inactive but I thought the cooking one was really happening.

Thank you

The GardenWeb topics centered around home and garden are now available through Houzz. Topics that are not related to home and garden are still available on GardenWeb.

To explore all discussions topics, you can do so here. This option is available at the bottom of the menu that appears on the left side of the discussion's page.

If you have any other questions, feel free to shoot us a line through help.houzz.com!

OK, I'll wait a few weeks until PFW is over and I have something to post, and then I'll start a new summer thread. That's my favorite cart. My father had the bigger one for many years and now my brother is using it. I loved the big one, but it's a little hard to maneuver so I bought the middle size a few years ago (many different suppliers sell these or similar carts). The mid-size one has a removable gate and spent the winter on my porch under the overhang next to a plastic toboggan. If there was no snow cover I'd roll the cart down the steps and use it to carry big bags of birdseed from the car. In case of snow, the plastic toboggan got delivery duty. The cart is out basking in the sun today. The toboggan is getting dusty. Claire

Using Houzz app to access GardenWeb is a bust

Recently, someone here mentioned having trouble when trying to use the Houzz app to access GardenWeb forums. Someone on the Houzz staff was kind enough to let me know (several weeks after writing to them!) that the Houzz App does NOT work for GardenWeb forums! They said that the Landscape Design forum could only be accessed via the regular Internet channels when using a mobile device. Thought I would mention it so people could end their futile attempts to get here with the Houzz App.

Here's how to install Linelle's javascript in Safari for iOS. Then you have it for any page on any site: There is no built in way to get quickly to the bottom of a page. However, this neat trick should work. If you want to go to the bottom of any web page in Safari you can do it using a bookmark and javascript. Using your iPhone, go to any page and save a bookmark (this one will do). Then copy the following line on your iPhone (the usual way). javascript:window.scrollTo%280%2C100000%29 Edit the bookmark you created. Rename it something like "Go to bottom" and then replace the url with the above (paste it in). The next time you are viewing a page and want to go to the bottom, just select that bookmark and it will take you to the bottom of the page.

Hello to the GardenWeb forum
Q

Hello all, this is my first post on GardenWeb, after reading it for many years. It is a very informative site and I've used a lot of the info. A little background, we're in eastern Kentucky on my wife's family farm in zone 6B. It is a really nice place to live, clean air and water, and quiet in an isolated rural setting. I lived in Texas for 30 years, in the suburbs of Dallas. I really enjoy that we get 4 real seasons here, as opposed to the brutal summers and pseudo fall and winters in Texas. It was fine there, but the wife and I moved here to be more self-sufficient and get out of the big city. We were getting progressively alarmed at the spiritual, economic and social decline of things, and thought we ought to take the opportunity and get out of Dodge, so to speak. But, that is a whole other story. We're in the foothills of the Appalachians, in a valley, on an eastern facing slope with good exposure to the sun, getting about 8 hours of direct sun on average thru the spring to fall. Our weather is warm, not really hot, somewhat humid summers. It rarely been above 90 degrees here the two years we've been here. It cools off pretty quickly when the sun dips behind the hills to our west, so we don't get as many hours of direct sun as a flatter location. The nights are very comfortable, usually in the 60's on the warmest nights. It's spring here now, with the dogwoods and wild apple trees blooming and the other trees just leafing out, beautiful. But the winters, oh boy. Living in Texas all those mildish winters there spoiled me. Last winter, 2014-15, was the worst I've ever experienced. Some nights were below zero, with one pleasant night of 14 below, which just happened to take out our water lines. I spent the next couple days under the house playing junior plumber to fix that issue- nice. Plus, a couple one foot snowfalls among others. Even the long time residents said that it was one of the worst in recent memory. I'm sure folks from New England or more northern climes are rolling their eyes about my winter complaints right now. But, this winter was not too bad, just a few nights in single digits and a couple 6 inch snows. I do think that I am getting a bit more used to it though, just have to layer on more clothes. OK, enough background info. This winter/spring I got the fruit tree bug, and thought I'd take advantage of our acreage and start a little orchard to augment our vegetable garden output. We just finished planting the last of the trees, and hopefully that will be it for a while. Maybe. From what I've gathered from this forum, fruit tree planting can be somewhat addictive, so I hope I can control it. We'll see. Anyhow, I will provide a tree report soon on what we've done. I look forward to to future correspondence with GardenWeb gang.

salonva, if you haven't found it yet, here's the link for the cooking forum.

Lindsey W., here's what I see, in its entirety, when I click on the 'Follow discussions' link on my page. Note: I'm in southern Ohio--not Australia--and IIRC, I've never searched any of these forums.

When I click your other links these are the pages I find:

As you can see, the Cooking forum does not appear on the comprehensive list; neither do other forums which I've seen members' posts asking about: Care Givers, Computers, Grieving, Hot Topics, The Kitchen Table--maybe others; seems that I recall a Birdwatchers forum. They still exist:

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/care

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/comphelp

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/grieving

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/hottopics

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/kitchentable

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/bird

Is there another page with the links to these forums?

When I try to update mine, I don't see anything like 'Explore Topics' that Lindsey's ScreenShot shows.

It's amazing how we all have differing outcomes. @KarenS, NYC --- fwiw, I see :

Explore Discussions

Featured Home Discussions

Featured Garden Discussions

This is all on the left hand side of the page, at least for me (under Your Activity)

If I click on Featured Home Discussions, it brings up a list of many many of the forums, but I agree with @mama goose_gw zn6OH that I cannot see Cooking Forums. In any case, the order is seemingly random- clearly not alphabetical. When I get to that forum, I then click "follow" so that at least it shows up in my list of forums readily accessible. (on the left hand side right above the explore discussions.

Someone linked the cooking forum and that is what I did to get that as it does NOT show up in any listing that I have been able to get.

Salonva,

I see the same as you do:

Featured Home Discussions

Featured Garden Discussions

when I ask to Edit, I get a box asking me to check off My Interests (can't copy it to here).

I had similar issues trying to find Hot Topics, can't ever see where it's listed only got back in when provided a link to it. Grrrrr

I've kept Hot Topics and Kitchen Table bookmarked on my laptop, since for a time, a couple of years ago, using those links was the only way I could sign in with the gardenweb url--I guess because Houzz had no equivalent of those discussion pages. (This page has the houzz.com url.)

I know the KT has a different title (Home & Garden Discussions) if I access it through Houzz, even when using the 'My Topics' shortcut. I don't know about HT, since I don't have it in 'My Topics', and I had to go back to my bookmarks to find it. Most of the above links I found by using google with 'gardenweb birdwatching' or whatever.

salonva, when you click on 'Explore Dicsussions' under Your Activity, do you get the Australian Forums page that I posted? That's all I get! It's not new--I noticed it a couple of months ago, but hadn't taken the time to search for answers until I saw your thread.

I don't come here much because I'm always confused since the merger. Is there only one "kitchen" forum now? I also don't understand how to search within a forum. Do you have to search in the top bar? If the only true gardenweb forum left something like "decorating conversations"?

Well I just saw this but I dont get notifications for this thread that I started ......but anyway I don't get the Australian forums that mamagoose gets. I guess i will be thankful for that! And DebraK, I wish I could answer how to search here. I USED to be able to do that pretty reliably but for quite a while I get crazy results. When I ask, people will tell me to do exactly what I have been doing, but for some reason I don't get any sort of rational results. Kind of like mamagoose getting Australian forums. :)
