Photo loading problems - anyone else?

I've been trying unsuccessfully since yesterday morning to start a post including a few photos. Usually have no problem at all but right now when I choose a photo from my files and click on "open" I get the green loading circle in my post...and it just circles...and circles....and circles. It never loads (I tried walking away for an hour or two - no luck.) I've closed and reopened in a different browser, restarted my computer - it's just not working. Anyone else having an issue like this or is it just me?

    Thanks, Aegis. Good suggestion and I'll try it.

    Edited:

    No, my photos wouldn't load here in edit mode either. Just got the ever-turning green wheel. Hmmm. Well, I guess I will give it a few days and see if anything changes. Thanks anyway.

    I haven't posted a photo for a while. Let me see if one loads. Nope! Even as I type this the little circle is still going around. hmmmm,,,HOUZZ a little help here???? Rosie

    I noticed last time I tried that it took longer than normal, but the photos did eventually load. Of course, it might have been my spotty connection.

    I can't load either.

    :-(( Perhaps a prelude to making that feature a for fee service? (As if providing free content wasn't sufficient.)

    i couldn't load the usual way - by clicking 'photo'. but i managed to load by using 'houzz photo' button and then choosing <browse>. it pops pix on your machine and then u select what u want ...it loads and then click <insert>. and voila! it magically appears !

    oh, houzz - 'the shop of curiosities'! ;)

    I've tried all day to post photos in a thread. No go. What's wrong?

    Let me try. Well, I tried the old way and it is still spinning. Now I will try the 'houzz' way.

    By golly it worked! YaY!!!! Thanks Petrushka!!!! I would have never thought to go in the back door! Rosie

    So. Is the way it will have to be done from now on?

  • 8 years ago

    there's no announcement that i could find - i wasted a good amt of time yesterday trying this an' that. it's rather inconsiderate of them to do this all of a sudden...

    but another poster suggested a way out...he-he..i'm sure in other forums they're spinning their wheels still...but there's no way to let anybody know - this houzz is ...a step back...

    Well I guess so Kyle! But it is no big deal. It really is just as easy. I figure as long as the job gets done, well, ok fine. I am a trainable little monkey!

    I agree Petrushka! How inconsiderate that they can't even post something to let us know there has been a change.

    (picture hands cupped around mouth) HOUZZ,,,,,THAT IS RUDE AND NOT NICE!!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME???? Rosie

    Yea...I'm uploading to my place. Hopefully a temporary annoyance.

  • 8 years ago

    ok, people are having problems just like us. and while i tried searching for uploading - search is not working properly. like i want to search 'gardenweb' forums but it defaults to <advice/shop> or some other nonsence...

    obviously some inane software update...problem is - there's nobody and no way to complain to anybody...ok, photo we can work-around ...but search not working -that's much worse!

    Yup, me too. I had a new post I wanted to make and it wouldn't go.

    I sent an email to support, and you can also do so here.

    Please remember to be kind to customer service though! :o) Seems that they tried to update something and it failed. C'est la vie.

    Even on this thread ... I thought that I had attached a photo ... saw the thread update showing the photo, ... but then a little later, the picture was gone again ...

    Hey, you all have been working hard to solve my (our) problem while I've been busy and away from my computer - thank you! :-)

    Here goes:


    Yay!! It works using the Houzz photo button for me, too!

    Thanks again for that work around, Petrushka!
