Testing posting a pic in opening lost from different device

8 years ago

I have a Amazon Fire tablet that I rarely use. I'm going to see if I can lost a photo in my opening lost from it.

Today's Molineux bloom.



I might as well dream big, and make it two pictures!

    Wow! I can't believe it worked! Too bad this thing is far more awkward to use than my iPhone. Lisa

    I almost only post using my phone (Android) and haven't had any issues with the new format. I wonder if they're optimizing the site for mobile devices and the changes are impacting browsers running on desktop/laptop computers.

    What a great combo, Deborah! Beautiful! So far my baby Molineux is just putting out one bloom at a time. I can’t wait to see a bunch at once like yours.

    John, I don’t know what it is. I have been using my iPhone that is updated and I haven’t been able to post a single picture in my original post since this whole mess started. I’ve been having to submit the title and text part of my post first, and then post my photos in a comment. This is the first time I’ve been able to post pictures in my opening post. I have no idea why I can’t do this on my iPhone, and was absolutely shocked when it worked on my Amazon Fire device. At least I know it’s possible now. Lisa

    I don't think that's the case John, but it may have something to do with using their app judging from a few other people's comments. My phone was fine until recently. I can still post photos in the comment but when I want to erase from voice recognition I have to close that out and then every time I erase something it comes back for each letter. It's impossible to explain without seeing it but it is so annoying. So I usually just leave my posts with all the misspellings and wrong words and hope for the best

    Congrats Lisa! At least you now have some sort of work around. You might want to try posting that and then going back in to edit it at a picture. That's what I often do because I like to post pictures directly from my phone instead of transferring them to my laptop. It's worth a try anyway.

    That’s a good idea, Vap! I’d have to be quick to come back in and edit the text in with my phone after posting the pictures with the tablet, though. I know you only have an hour to edit anything in your original post, and after that what’s done is done. You’re “locked out” from editing your opening post after an hour. I’m a real slow poke and I’m easily distracted, so I’ll have to make sure I get it done in an hour. I just now saw that my title has a typo, and I can’t go back and fix it. It is an option though, and a good one. I’m far faster at “texting” my words in, than typing on the screen of that Fire tablet. My laptop’s keyboard doesn’t work anymore, so that’s just as awkward. I can only use the touchscreen to type on it. I DO have to Houzz app installed on my iPhone, but I no longer use it at all. I can’t do anything through the app. I stay signed in and my phone shows a “frequently used” list as soon as I open my browser. I just hit “Antique Rose Forum”, and I’m in. It’s unfortunate that I need a “work around “ at all, but it’s better than nothing. I had forgotten about that Fire tablet, and began to wonder how it would work here, just yesterday. I really was shocked when I could post photos with my original post from it. It’s a cheap $30 tablet compared to my rather expensive phone. I’ll have to try a post doing it the way you suggested, Vap. There’s just not a whole lot worth taking pictures of, atm. Lisa

    I suspect John is correct. They are converting this site to a mobile app ... leaving out people who post while working on desktops.
    Which leaves me out. Pity. It was nice while it lasted.

    It IS unfortunate, Jeri. I don’t like it either. It still makes no sense as to why someone like Jin can’t post after buying a brand new, top of the line Andriod phone. Ingrid doesn’t use a mobile device at all. She can post photos as long as she does so in a comment. I have to say, this forum seems to be dying, and I’m sad to see it. I’ve been trying to hang in here and keep things going (when I can), but so many vital members are gone. It’s definitely not the same. I’m getting tired of the shenanigans going on around here. Lisa

    I use a MacBook Pro laptop and it is working here. I have just posted photos in the comments section, Jeri and John. I'm not giving up. Of course, the houzz incompetence is very frustrating and sad.

    I’m not giving up either but I am finding myself going to the other site just because so many of our friends are there. The posts are moving along more quickly there now, and the topics are becoming more diverse. I’m trying NOT to add to the mass exodus from Houzz, though. I don’t want to contribute to the demise of my longtime Home forum. If I’m up to posting, I’ll do so here first, and there, if I’m still looking for more. I’m not leaving, but I sure do miss a lot of those that have left.

    For you, Sheila. Sorry about the brown ones. I don’t have the proper shoes on atm to get up there and remove them. (Told you it was one that looks really bad not deadheaded:) Lisa

    Thank you Lisa. Simply beautiful. I love the clematis too. I have all I can do to not get FGT from RVRs just to make sure I have it (SdPN), because I really don't need two.
