What do you think has changed with Houzz?

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

Last night I went on to GW and all I got was an empty page saying that Houzz was making some changes and was unavailable. I was actually worried, thinking it was going to be shut down. Whew.

Do you see anything different? You'd think if it was general maintenance, it would be done over-night as most sites are. I do see a Poll button, now I'm not sure if it was there before.

Looking at your post, I don‘t see a Like button, but I see an Email button that I don’t think was there before. And was the Follow button always there? Have I always been able to share an OP to FB and Twitter? Funny, because I have An account on only on of those.

I see the Like button as usual. Would not have noticed email since I never would think to do it. Is that what is new?

I already answered another post of yours, and it sounds like you might have already replaced the soil. (You can read my comments in that other post) Anyway, two things stand out in these pics: (1) no mulch (2) other stuff in the containers (lemon peels??) If you have pictures of the fungus that is now on the foliage, that might be helpful in diagnosing the specific problems you're now having.

Motherof3sons- Thank you. It's so funny, my mom and I were saying the same thing yesterday...how many times do you get up to run to the closet, in the middle of the night! LOL Groceries are kind of a split, probably front in the winter (less driveway to plow out...and less steps up to the house) and the back when there's no snow. Iowablue- I'll send you an email, after work. Where does your daugher live? Further south than Pullman? Central Washington is pretty dry (east side of the Cascade Mountains) but parts of eastern Washinton start having trees, again. We live very close to Idaho (about five miles away) and are in an area with trees, rolling hills, creeks and some farmland, also pasture. Further north is more pasture and colder winters...while further south is often more farmland, especially on the Palouse. Spokane is the largest city in eastern Washington (king of in the middle of the state, but only about 15 miles from the Idaho border) and about half hour away from Coeur d'Alene Idaho, which is famous as a summer resort. Coeur d'Alene Lake is one of the larger lakes in the area, but Pend'Oreille is up in Sandpoint, Idaho is also beautiful. There are more lakes and rivers in the northern to central part, of far eastern Washington. One thing about living here, which I'm sure your daughter has mentioned...we have much colder winters (and longer) than you would in the Seattle area (western Washington) and hotter summers, too. That being said, much of eastern Washington and northern Idaho is absolutely beautiful. Further south, there are less trees, but more farmland. It all depends on what you like :)

To sum up the changes from a week ago, it's now "Light up one big counter" and "Make the drawers a.b.a.p." rosieo, no matter what you do, you have a handle on the big things. I don't know if you will be happier with the range here or there; it may be a minor thing compared to all the other things you have figured out. In your set of images, photos 1 to 5 show the kitchen is in a windowless corner of the house. With a mirror on the wall you will get more light into the kitchen, coming from another angle. This makes a difference. ((B.t.w. Photos 1 to 5 make me think the footprint of the house is still in flux: I saw a storage area behind the pantry.)) Knowing now what I now know about your house, I would go to ikea for wood counters, for the price (way less than stone) and quality. Nobody has ever said anything bad about them. With the money saved, you can buy more of other things. If you have the money, you could have two single dishdrawers. When open to full drawer extension (or partially), they take up less space than a 30"high dishwasher panel. And, you cannot hit your shin on them. If you are certain that dishes will often go first to the sink (+disposer) before going to the dishwasher, you could justify putting the sink closer to the end, and the dishwasher on the other side of the sink. 500mm drawers If you go with the layout now shown in photo #10, know this: Your dead space corner could be reduced in size, if your counters were only e.g. 23.5" on top of 21" cabinets. Ikea drawers only need 21" space from front to back. Ikea 500mm length drawer slides are identical to the current model of Blum 500mm length drawer slides, and the drawers are almost identical, with an Ikea soft close damper added. I have them. I also have some of the longest possible Blum drawers: they're more spacious, but not a way way great thing to have absolutely. (p.s. length in this paragraph is the length of the gliders = depth of cabinet = distance front to back). If you went with the range-at-end, and then traded the range for a smaller one, you would have an easier time getting in and out of the corner it blocks. Is exhaust venting in your kitchen plan?

Houzz changes, and what to do about it
Q
Comments (44)
The technology age may be a factor, Mary. I can't access places on Houzz from our older desktop. I certainly can't upload photos from it. Our computer is about the same age as yours. It was a cutting edge Mac at the time. Ha, ha. My husband ran Logic software and recorded music with it. Now it sits around and roars like a T rex, but my husband can still do music production, send emails, etc. There is a Houzz phone number you can call, too. I posted in on "[How to Contact Houzz Support Directly[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/how-to-contact-houzz-support-directly-dsvw-vd~5356515?n=8)." Our desktop runs on Snow Leopard. I think that one is too ancient for Houzz. Carol

As usual, it’s different depending on the device I’m on!

IIRC, when we received the notice about the message system changing it mentioned being able to include photos and attachments. That hasn't changed for me--using either GW or Houzz url, I don't see those options.

I see the like button, and the email, but I don't know if the email option is new. I don't see a follow button. If one hovers over another member's name the follow option is still there (assuming the member allows following).

I just clicked on the email button to see what it does. It notifies your email contacts (if you let it) of the Houzz discussion. So it's more visibility for Houzz, so more business.

It also asks to connect to your Gmail contacts. No thank you!

Yes, Bookwoman, it connects to your email for more visibility for Houzz

I got that maintenance page a couple times the past few days, once when I tried coming here through a bookmark, and again yesterday or the day before when I just hit the back key to get back to the forum page from inside a thread - maybe the only thing that's changed is the maintenance page instead of an Oops page.

Maybe that’s why threads are disappearing...maybe they are having to use a back up copy due to problems.

I just want to know why my unfinished posts disappear . I start writing something and and before I can finish...poof, it's gone. It even closes my browser, and it only happens on this website. It happened again today..sigh.

It is being strange again. I was in HT and it showed I was signed in. I went to post a comment on the temperature thread here and it wanted me to sign in. Except it stated my name was not found. Backed out and for at least now I can post.

What do you think has changed with Houzz?
