Some may be discovering it late, as is the case with me. This is my first year gardening, and I'm doing my best to go completely organic. I have been given lots of plants and have purchased a few. Right now, I have some boxwoods, crepe myrtles, nandinas, some grasses, purple hearts, daylilies, tiger lilies, and basil, rosemary, and lavender in pots. I have terrible soil and have been building raised beds - which is time consuming, and between work and life demands, leaves me little time for just surfing the web. I've mostly been gathering information, and this forum has answered many questions for me. It's been great, and I appreciate everyone's input and feedback! It has certainly kept me on track in my efforts and help make it a great experience.

I agree, but Houzz would have had to have a separate server to retain all those posts. I guess it set a time limit and space limit on retained posts, so we lost a ton, but every now and then, I see some older posts pop up from someone's search. I think they did away with all the 90s and only kept those from the 2000s, because I've seen a few pop up from 2003 and 2005. Sadly, the early days were the best, when there were so many more members and so much great information.

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/kitchen-discussions-dsbr0-bd~t_28581 That is for the Kitchen Forum. Now that wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that in the feed if you click on over half the threads listed, they have nothing to do with kitchens, but are threads in design dilemma, laundry, appliances, paint, cleaning tips, etc. So it means you now have to wade through threads that have NOTHING to do with the forum you're interested in. When I go to the kitchen forum, I want to only see kitchen threads. I'm hoping they don't ruin all the forums.

JDS, i get the same window. However, I don't want to have to try and figure out what forums I want to visit ahead of time. Everyday I like to visit Kitchens and Building a Home, but some days I also like to visit Remodeling, The Old House and Bathrooms, but other days I might like to look at Windows, Fireplaces, Flooring and Antiques. But now with them not even being in alphabetical order, I have to guess as to what names I should go to. Additionally my complaint was not with having to go to www.gardenweb.com or www.houzz.com, but with how they are laid out. And lastly I don't want to have to edit the topics I look at or pick favorites. I want the whole site to be user intuitive, which it was before. Now it's not. And I certainly don't enjoy wading through threads that don't belong in the forum I chose to look at.
