Hi Greenclaws - You only have a limited time to edit once you've posted, so you may not be able to delete the photo now. If you are still able, I've found that the backspace doesn't always work, but if you use your mouse to highlight the entire photo and then hit delete that usually works. If you still want the photo gone, I can make that happen - just let me know. Glad to see that you're back and I hope that things are looking up for you! Hi Min3 - Email addresses are no longer posted, but you can send someone a private message if they've enabled it on their profile settings. If someone has opted in, you'll see a 'Message' button on the front page of their profile. (Click on the photos to enlarge.) To enable these settings, just click on 'Your Houzz' in the top corner of the page and then 'Edit Profile' and then look for 'Advanced Settings' on the left side of the page. Once there, scroll down to 'Privacy Settings' and you'll see a pull down menu that you can set to allow others to message you. Let me know if you have any further questions!

I received this reply--it seems they listened to us, and several editing features are back. I've replied again to request the ability to choose cover photos also be restored : "We are unable to disclose the reasons for our site updates. However, we are happy to share that our Engineering Team has listened to the community's feedback and restored editing functionalities to ideabooks. To rearrange, move, and further edit ideabooks, click into the ideabook. Then click the "... More" button. This will open up a dropdown menu. Next, click the "Edit" button and you will be able to edit the ideabook content as before."

Well, you've got me stumped. The collaborate button is the Invite button at the upper left, but that doesn't allow you to make it private. You can go into your profile and click advanced settings and make ALL of your ideabooks private, but I don't see a way to make just one private. If you find out, please post the answer here.

I guess there's no way to restore it, since you need to confirm a deletion. https://help.houzz.com/s/article/How-do-I-delete-an-ideabook?language=en_US
