Posting comments returns to top of page

10 years ago
last modified: 10 years ago

Last two days or so, when I post a comment, it refreshes the page after I hit submit, as it usually did, but now it takes me back to the top of the page. It used to refresh to the point where the last comment appeared. Something is not right.

Anyone else have this happen? Maddeningly confusing at first, but now it is just plain annoying, because you have to re-refresh and go to the bottom of the page to see if your comment posted in a place in the conversation where it would make sense.

Of course, this may just be happening on long threads... :)

EDIT:

NOW THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM. RECURSIVE POSTS. I POSTED ONE THING, THEN IT REPOSTED IT. EVERY NEW POST REPOSTED ALL THAT CAME BEFORE IT. IT GOES AWAY WHEN I REFRESH AGAIN.

    I was gone all day yesterday, so just seeing all of this mess. Yep, had many problems with the iPad app for many months. Now all seems to be fine, other than the headache of only being able to see 4 pics at a time, so go figure it is their web site. It is Sat. evening, so hoping all the bugs have been corrected. Guess they need to get their act together, but not holding my breath. Good job, Rred.

    Yikes! Hi guys.

    Are you seeing this only in the iPad app or are you seeing it via web too?

  • 10 years ago

    It is happening to me on my web version. It just happened to me again. LOL

  • 10 years ago

    I haven't even tried the ipad yet. On my phone app, Andriod version, things seem fine, but I much prefer the full function web.

  • 10 years ago

    SEE?

  • 10 years ago

    Emily, there needs to be better tech support on weekends. These problems crashed my iPad. This has been going on for 3days . Aussies, US and a Canadian.

  • 10 years ago

    Good on you, Rred.

  • 10 years ago

    haha Chook, my macbook just crashed! I had to do a hard restart. I had 6 Houzz windows open, and nothing else.

  • 10 years ago

    I rebooted the iPad 20 times on the weekend.

  • 10 years ago

    Mark is in Canada, and suddenly all his comments going back days, disappeared from zaz 's thread (US). The replicating of comments is making all the threads longer, some disappear then reappear in different places. People are getting their name on comments when their not responsible, eg this woman new user isn't in the yearbook, I don't know her

    Rred, didn't mkritt post a shot of her getting her name on comments she didn't make?

    Emily,

    Thanks for looking at this. I know it is effecting at least a few others who I regularly chat with. Who knows how many others are experiencing it?

    I am using Firefox 41.0.2 and it was updated recently. The update and the odd behavior on the forum may be related, as the update was automatically made before last weekend, when this started happening to me.

    Another thread of other odd behaviors is [https://www.houzz.com/discussions/repeat-posts-dsvw-vd~3415310[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/repeat-posts-dsvw-vd~3415310)

    I posted this issue there too.

    Thanks for looking into this. It is much appreciated!

    Soccerates has had comments posted with her name that weren't her comments.

    She also had a funny message that wouldn't let her browse anything on Houzz on her ipad. My ipad is dead battery, or I'd play with that too and see what happens to me.

    I found a screenshot of Soccer's message pop-up that froze her screen...


  • 10 years ago

    One other thing. I can go back and edit a comment (fix a typo) and hitting submit after an EDIT keeps the comment in the right place. No thread bouncing around then... Only when you hit submit the first time on a comment.

  • 10 years ago

    Here is the thread with the mystery linlac comment that doesn't relate to anything. Reminds me of the Russian guy repeating people's comments all over Houzz in random places, was malware I think


  • 10 years ago

    My comments are loading slower each day. Not as slow on ideabooks, up to 3or4 mins on longer threads. Then they, and I land in the middle of the thread, along with the comment before mine. I scroll down, and check my answer at the bottom. Happens on both US site and Aussie site. Yesterday, couldn't post pics anywhere, including no screenshots to support. Couldn't copy paste. A yearbook writer also reported they couldn't copy paste their article, the last 3days, to ideabook.

  • 10 years ago

    Yesterday I tried to go to advice on UK site, it would only display US advice feed.

    Good news on the repeat posts. The fix should go out sometime today. Thanks for your patience!

    I really appreciate it, Emily, and I can't help but comment to see what happens... LOL

  • 10 years ago

    Hopefully that will fix how long my comments are taking to load, it's now getting to nearly 5 mins on longer threads.

  • 10 years ago

    That loaded quickly, good sign!!!!

  • 10 years ago

    I was able to post a new thread earlier with a link and pics. That was ok, except for the random repeats.

  • 10 years ago

    That loaded quickly but I had to scroll down from one quarter up.

  • 10 years ago

    Ok prob not fixed. Just posted to Toatsmcgoats thread, 2000+ comments, it was short, but took 3.5 mins to load. Then it and her comment before it landed in the middle of the thread. I scrolled down to the bottom, they were both there. IE status quo for the last three days.

    Just wanted to add that the comment problem is not happening on my IPad. Thanks Emily for the help.

    posting to see if it's been resolved. Got an email to see... :)

  • 10 years ago

    again, posting to see..

  • 10 years ago

    posting to see again... It just worked correctly for me on another thread...

  • 10 years ago

    Nope...not here... :(

  • 10 years ago

    Still doing this.


  • 10 years ago

    The quick brown fox jumped under the very tall dog.

  • 10 years ago

    Went to the middle again, plus here.

  • 10 years ago

    OK it worked fine on my garottage thread just now... let's see if it got fixed here...

  • 10 years ago

    YAY!!! THANK YOU EMILY AND ALL! :)

  • 10 years ago

    Wait a second... one thing I noticed, and MAYBE I fixed it myself....

    The address bar. The address bar here says this:

    https://www.houzz.com/discussions/posting-comments-returns-to-top-of-page-dsvw-vd~3458729

    I went on another thread, and it has this in the middle of the address bar...

    https://www.houzz.com/discussions/posting-comments-returns-to-top-of-page-dsvw-vd~3458729

    SEE THAT "m=3"??? I deleted that part, and then the thread let me post without it repeating everything, or taking me to another spot in the thread. Maybe manually removing that thing in the address of threads will stop the craziness?

  • 10 years ago

    experimenting

  • 10 years ago

    Nope, it's working now! Hurray!

  • 10 years ago

    Posted 2screenshots on an Aussie thread just now and still got the problem.

  • 10 years ago

    People can't be fiddling with URL, s it has to work normally. No m3 in the URL of what I posted.

  • 10 years ago

    Still landing way up there, have to scroll down.

  • 10 years ago

    It's still doing it


  • 10 years ago

    Yep, went up there.

  • 10 years ago

    Strange. One thing the support email asked me to do was to clear the cache and browsing history on my browser...this is for the web version... but you're using an Ipad? Are you using an App or are you using the Web? Try using the web after you clear the cache and history...I did that AND I messed around with the URL to remove that m=23 thing

  • 10 years ago

    I don't have a desktop or other to download into first. Can't clear all the YB stuffs. And her photos :)

  • 10 years ago

    Did you write bump here, Rred?

    also, just noticed two avatars were swapped on two users on a thread.

    Tried to save a photo from a Houzz article to Adult Daughters Ideabook, it would not let me access any ideabook but chookchook2 s ideas, so I clicked on the photo, went to the page and selected another photo, same thing happened again. I'm on website. Houzzers can't help on discussions if they can't save Houzz pics to diff ideabooks.

    please return to how it was before.

  • 10 years ago

    Emily, my problem (comments posting mid-thread, but not appearing and the recursive posting of all previous posts here) seems to be resolved. Thank you!

    Now about chook's problems... LOL She seems to find lots of bugs too. We frequent users are good for something! :)
