Thanks Julia. Maybe from what you said I should just walk away from the computer for a few minutes and see if the faded picture resolves itself. I still have windows 7, and used their photo thing to resize to 800 px....The wrong thing about this is that I posted a picture (my mole hole) under the comments section with no resizing or problems at all. I think they are screwed up and they are going to have to fix it at their end before all of us get some relief.......Maryl

Mine does reslove also, Maryl...sometimes it waits until I click to upload another photo, then the faded ones looks normal...and the new one is faded. How wonderful progress is and how we despise change especially poorly thought out changes.

Mine does not resolve, just sits and sits as long as I allow it. It also freezes up the other tabs and I have to close the browser. But I can post all I want in the comments. I will have to try to resize and see how it does.

I use Irfanview for all my pictures. I download it and its free plugins and it resizes pictures instantly. You can do it in pixels or inches. Irfanview is compatible with everything. I've used it for as long as I can remember. It is super popular because it works well and easily.

You don't have to use it as the default picture program like I do. You can install it and not make it default, and just use it to resize. It also does a whole lot more.

Nope. I played a game for over 10 minutes waiting, it did not resolve. Then I added another photo as you suggested Kay and it too was faded along with the first one. Neither one ever came in clearly. I feel like I'm looking at pictures through a heavy screen door. ....When I say I have no clue, I mean it. I'm not any better then Jean was, and I have no help. The last time I did something "impulsive" on the computer it cost me $10.00 a month in perpetuity, so I'm not changing anything else that still works because Houzz can't get it together. It's sad, but not fatal.......I hope if it ever does go back to easy like it was before without having to fitz around with your own computer program, I hope you will mention it in your post............Maryl

I think with enough of our complaints, they will eventually make it better. I don't seem to be having the problems I did have, no idea why mine is better. I thought may be the newer computer was the fix for me, but same on my old laptop. My pictures are faded looking, then clear, but some times it it takes longer than other times. Today it was sluggish. I gather whole threads are disappearing now. It is always something.

I haven't complained to Houzz yet. Don't know where to even do that. But, are the people who are complaining getting special attention do you think?....I remember Dick's first post on the daylily show he saw. I couldn't find it last night to look at it again......Everyone has their problems so mine are probably no worse then others, but my sister just had a brain tumor removed Friday, my husband tripped on a mole hole and can't walk without crutches, it's been in the upper 90's all week and I will miss the daylily show tomorrow. I really would like at least this problem to be solved so I can just relax and drift mentally away from things for a few moments.........Maryl

Maryl,

Have you done what I've done-just post a text post then put your pictures in the comments.

Yes - I have. Thanks. Dick (I noticed that Houzz sometimes takes 48 hours or so to review a post - hopefully it will show up.

Well, my last post in response to you Brad just disappeared......Yes, I have posted in the comments section and the picture took (the picture was of my infamous mole hole that left my DH a cripple). One of the complaints about this method is that the pictures are smaller then those directly under the header. I'm trying to give Houzz time to rectify the problem without doing that. I may well loose patience.........Maryl

My post today suddenly disappeared after posting and after several people had commented on it. exasperating.

I don't know if it's just a coincidence, but my problems resolved after I sent Houzz support a polite message detailing the problems I was having.

Debra

support.houzz.com I doubt very much whether Houzz has synchronized its software so that certain people can post and not others. But, Maryl, for me the pictures in the comments and the main section are the same size.
