Wow - page 6!

I didn't have time last weekend to start a new version, maybe this weekend! :-)

MamaGoose - I don't think there's a way to setup an auto-responder. It's too bad we no longer have the "sticky" functionality. We really lost quite a bit of functionality when Houzz took over!

(I remember people complaining that iVillage was outdated feature-wise - Houzz is even worse, IMO!)

Hello! We are planning on doing our kitchen soon. I don't know where I can get a lay out / design program in order to get started?

Any suggestions would be. great

Hi Danielle,

I suggest you start a new thread with your question, rather than responding to this thread. It will be much more likely to be seen and answered there.

Quick question, is the "GardenWeb Kitchen Forum" the same as the Houzz forum?? I have posted on Houzz but haven't received too much attention. I am wondering if I should try my luck on here...or will the post end up in the same place!?

Yes and no. The GardenWeb Kitchen Forum is one of the forums Houzz inherited when they took over GardenWeb (GW).

Historically, the main goal of Houzz has been a place for pros to showcase their work and get business. From what I've seen & heard, that led to a lack of real help for most people when they tried to ask for help on Houzz. I suspect that's what you have been running into.

On the other hand...

Historically, GardenWeb's goal was far from that. In fact, per GW's terms of service, pros were not allowed to try to get business via the forums - and that included rules that stated you could not post your company's website or other contact information or tell someone to contact you professionally for more information/help. This led to a forum where people could come and ask for help and actually get it without someone trying to solicit them.

The help you get on GardenWeb forums has been (and is trying to remain) from a combination of knowledgeable amateurs and professionals who do not ask for your business or even advertise their business. We are trying to keep the GardenWeb forums from becoming just another Houzz forum by trying to keep to the spirit of what they were under iVillage and previous owners.

I will say, though, that I have noticed a steady drop in activity on many forums since the Houzz takeover. I suspect it's due to a combination of:

• The frustration from the early days of the takeover (b/c Houzz obviously did not effectively test the migration and there were so many issues that still linger today)
• The Houzz attitude that has creeped into the Forums (pros trolling for business) (we keep trying to stop it - if you see it, report it as "spam"!)
• The difficulty I think people have in finding the Forums - it's not that easy to find them!

Oh, and GW also has many, many gardening forums, not just home forums!

Home Forums: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums

Forums for the house, cooking, sewing/needlework, computers, pets/animals, health, family, finances, socializing, education, crafts/hobbies, cars, & general discussions

Gardening Forums: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums

Many, many forums for gardening - inside/outside, farming/ornamental, regional (e.g., Mid-Atlantic, Main, Carolinas, etc.), specific plants (e.g., roses, maples, etc.)

Gardening Exchanges: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/exchind

For plant & seed exchanges (not for purchase, just exchanges)

Nature Forums: http://nature.gardenweb.com/forums

Forums for birds, camping, and other nature topics

.

There are even two sets of international of forums (although all of the above also apply to international/non-USA users):

UK: http://www.uk.gardenweb.com/

Australia: http://www.au.gardenweb.com/

I don't know where you've posted in the past, but I strongly encourage you to post here on the Kitchens Forum for any Kitchen help you need - you will get far more help and more useful help here than on the non-GW forums. Some of the major GW forums:

And many more! Flooring, Electrical, Plumbing, Paint, Organization, Fireplaces, Old homes, etc. - see the Home Forums page for these and more!

Thanks so much for the detailed answer! I can see why the takeover has decreased activity...I have perused Gardenweb (the gardening forum more so than the home forum) in the past but was really confused with the new set-up.

Okay then off I go to repost my kitchen design dilemmas to the kitchens forum..... thanks again!!
