The Kitchen Table

I cannot sign in to HOUZZ but can with gardenweb. Any solutions?

2 years ago

I cleaned all temp files and such off my computer which logged me out of houzz. I thought that I could turn off the ad blocker and pop up blocker and that was fix it but it didn't. When I try to log in, it just keep on trying to log in and nothing happens. I had some old links saved to gardenweb.com and was able to log in that way. I'm pretty sure that I've had this happen before and turning off the pop up blocker was all I needed to do but now even that isn't helping.

Has anyone had that happen and found a solution to it? Please let me know what I could try to fix it. Thanks!

Curious why you'd want to be signed in on houzz.com in the first place? I stay signed out because it shows my Google account username, while gardenweb.com shows only my username here.

Does Houzz post any reviews at all? We (members and forum participants) are able to comment freely about products, brands, gadgets, etc., and often do, but there isn't a particular forum for just that purpose. I've read scathing and glowing consumer reviews about everything under the sun. What else are you looking for?

Pop-up message issue - still a problem with Houzz/Gardenweb

Brad: Thank you for the info. I got PlantStep back up and working last week. AdwCleaner moved it to the C drive and labeled all the files with a .vir extension. I had to use a program that will delete the .vir from the PlantStep files in bulk, reinstall PlantStep and then overlay the cleaned files back into PlantStep to get all my data and pictures back into the software. I would caution anyone on using AdwCleaner. I have a program within Windows that does a check of Services running on startup which will give me a list of programs that I might want to not have run on startup. I even disabled the AdBlockerPlus, cleared out the cache, temp files and still the issue with Houzz continues. The message is definitely being generated from Houzz. I upload photos to other sites without issue. Just Houzz has something that changed. I already got notification from Windows that my version of Windows and Apps will not be a problem with the new update. I'm still waiting for the message that I can install which probably won't happen for a few days as they roll it out.

How were you helped by gardenweb/houzz?

I found this Decorating part of GW via its Kitchens. Forum. As we were starting to plan our total kitchen gut and remodel, the folks on the Kitchens were a huge fountain of information and advice. Everything from how and what to do to set up a good, working temporary kitchen, to opinions on granite vs Silestone and other counter choices, appliances, andvwhere to find the best hardware for my new cabs online. I learned about Silgranit kitchen sinks, ordered one at the recommended online place. . . and will be forever grateful for that! Gosh, I love that sink!!! I saved so much money and stress by accessing Kitchens! And then one final bit of advice on how to keep your sanity through it all: a glass or three of wine every evening (LOL)! From there, I found our wonderful GW decorating forum.

Gardenweb Houzz gets more and more irritating

I'm on a mac laptop and these changes appear on some forums and not others. I was thinking it was gardenweb staying the same and houzz forums being in the new format, but that's not it. I switch every thread to oldest first, so I can read what others have said. But then when I get to the bottom and may want to comment, the comment box is up at the top, even though I switched the order, so I have to scroll back through the whole thread up to the top. And the best answer stays at the top, so the new comment is below that. I also cannot "like" comments or thank people on my threads if I'm in firefox, I have to switch to chrome, or safari, both of which I dislike using.

Just sign in with GardenWeb. There is nothing on Houzz that can't be accessed through GW and it is a far more user-friendly platform.

OK, well, I never thought of it that way. I had been signed into Houzz for so long, I got used to it and thought that gardenweb was old hat. I'll just leave it as gardenweb and forget about it. Thanks!

You're on gardenweb, so what's "old hat" about it? I never visit Houzz, but I knew I could easily go there from here.

I 'visit' houzz.com all the time because when I click on notifications from some forums, it changes the URL, and I need to change it back if I want to like or comment.

Odd......that never happens to me. I am always signed into GW and remain there even when opening up notifications.

I recently had some computer issues and had to close everything down, clear caches and cookies and reboot. Although I had to sign in again on all my apps, other than needing a new password (who knows when that was last used??), I was immediately signed back into GardenWeb, not Houzz.

Strange how the process seems to work differently for different folks.

I stay signed into Gardenweb, too. I don't see any reason to sign out.
