hydrangea forum anyone visited lately?

7 years ago

The format and content is very odd. It's about "hydras"...with a lot of design posts (house design not plant) with a few hydrangea questions. It's been this way for at least a week and I'm surprised not to see complaints about it.

Like GG, I access only via larger screens (laptop and tablet, and mostly via GW, though when I access a thread via notifications, they are on Houzz. I am not seeing anything wonky. However, I don’t have a lot of faith in the competence of Houzz’s programmers since often depending on the device or the browser, you see different things or have different functionality.

Perhaps send them a note, Marie? Otherwise I don’t think they are always aware that there is an issue.

I am not sure what it is you are seeing. The forum looks just the same to me as always and with a lot of recent posts specifically related to hydrangeas, their care and any hydrangea issues. The only design issues I see are those that involve what to plant with them.....and not even many of those.

I don't see anything to complain about ;-)

gg , I didnt think you were complaining !I’m not going to waste trying to describe it but given the comments on mysteriously changing format (perennial forum) let’s assume I’m telling the truth and so are you but our truths are different

Did you try the link I provided? It seems most of the issues arise from attempting to access the gardening forums through Houzz rather than GardenWeb. Or on some device other than a desktop or laptop. In which case, it doesn't seem plausible for the issues to only be with the Hydrangeas forum.........

ETA: the info you just posted about your laptop is puzzling. It is the only device I use....the phone screen - even a large XR screen - is just too darn small for me to read easily.

I always go through Gardenweb. i.e. Gardenweb Perennials.

The hydrangea forum looked normal once, then went back to weird.

Its not always easy but I can read the forums on my iphone. the photos stink though.

I have to distract myself at work with something and my cell phone is alot easier to start up than my laptop with all it's log ins, security codes, and more. Gardenweb is so far removed from the subject matter of work that I read anything that's posted even if 10 year old threads are resurrected. It's fun and a little sad to recognize all the names of people who do not post any more.

Barb, how do I notify "them"?

Thanks, both.

Marie, Down at the bottom of every page is a contact us link.

As that currently stands it will link you to a form that lets you send a message. Under the categories, they don’t include the web page, so I use general help for that, or on a cell, you may be using the app which does have a category.
