Yikes! Another format change to Houzz

8 years ago

Looks like Houzz made some format changes! I kind of like the tabs for Latest, Unanswered - but not sure how something gets into 'featured'. 'popular' I assume is those threads that have more posts.


So when I logged in and got that popup for 'topics', I only selected RMG. So now I just have that showing in 'Your topics' - that's nice. Wish the 'Top Commenters' was just for our RMG group, but looks like it for all the Houzz groups?


Hmmm, but definitely don't like the second half of making a post where you have to select a topic again - I'm in the RMG page, so it should default to that in the new post!


What do you think of the change?!

    I don't see any change. But that may be because I navigate to RMG (and my other favorite forums) a very specific way. Log into Houzz, click Stories and Advice in the upper right, then click Garden Forums (under the category Gardenweb discussions), then under the R, I click Rocky Mountain Garden.

    I didn't get any format change until I did a search a couple of days ago - then! It was a bit of a mess ...

    When I came back yesterday, it was as before, without that change. I'm back again and the forum looks just as it did a week, month, year ago ..!

    Makes me a little anxious about using the search and I found that a really good feature. Still, I will have to adjust to whatever change occurs. Ya know, change keeps us young!

    spry digitS'!

    I did see the change on my Ipad but quickly just went somewhere else! Have the Garden Forums bookmarked on my desktop so that's the way I'll be navigating here from now on, no more mobile visits, at least until I figure out how to get from big Houzz to GW without too much time and irritation!

    I have a bookmark to RMG as well. I haven't been coming to the forum that much in the last few months, so not sure if it changed awhile back or if it's a recent change!

    I added a clip of what it looks like for me now. I put red lines around that parts I don't remember being like that before. I definitely don't remember having to select topics, and the other things I circled. I think the part at the top that you use to make a new post is a little confusing because it says 'what are you working on?' - doesn't really apply to RMG, and I first thought that it might post to Houzz in general and not RMG. But I think it gave me a choice afterwards that I had to select to where I wanted it posted. Again, I don't remember having to do that before because I was on the RMG page, so it knew to post there! It's ok, just got to get used to it!!


    Does it look like this to you? I use Firefox browser, and am on Windows 7.

    No. Mine does not look like that. I saw that format the other day but I can't even figure out how to get back to it. Haha. Mine looks like this. I click that Stories and Advice, then Garden Forums, then I get a list of the forums in alphabetical order.

    Huh. This is weird. Just open RMG by using my bookmark, and it looks like it used to.

    Didn't make any changes to my browser, or settings, or anything. Maybe Houzz is having some fun with us! lol

    That's what I'm experiencing, Marj.

    Most of my records on what I was doing when, can be found on forum posts. Yes, I had a journal and it is of help still(!) but that was pre-internet. Search has long been my filing cabinet and posts are in thread folders :wink:.

    I've just used search RMG - it changed format, made me type in search box twice, then I came back and everything looked normal!! It might be that things are not complete. 'S'okay ... it hasn't jerked the rug out from under me, yet.

    I hate the change. Used to be able to easily scroll through projects. Not so now. Buckled to advertising! Do not enjoy it anymore!

    I follow a small number of boards, all of them by means of bookmarks, and haven't seen any change. For anyone who wants/needs the old URL to set a bookmark to the old format, try this: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/rmgard/
