“How do you eliminate Best Answer?” Haha. Good luck with that.

In other forums on Houzz there are a multitude of complaints about Best Answer. To no avail, apparently.

I also seem to miss 90% of any other glitches that may turn up as well."

I tried that. It didn't work. I even re-started my browser and it didn't work. (When I re-start my browser, it clears the cookies, so hypothetically, Houzz should not recognize me.) I still got "best answer", which I dislike, because it's definitely not the "best answer".

That's the thing about algorithms and artificial intelligence, they're only as smart as the person who wrote them.

I never sign out - no real need to - so I am always in GardenWeb, never Houzz. And as stated, I do not see any "best answer" nonsense, never saw the reverse chronology postings so many complained about recently and seldom ever see any other temporary site bugs or glitches.

Never mind Best Answer, how about getting the responses to show with OLDEST first so you can follow the progression of the discussion by scrolling down rather than have most recent on top and you have to go to the bottom of the page to pick up the beginning of the thread. Whomsoever thought that would be a great idea must live in an alternative reality....

See my previous response :-) When accessing through GardenWeb (and not Houzz), all postings are in proper chronological order, from oldest to newest, just as it should be. 😊

Not all the time. I use Garden Web to access and certain posts will flip with me to Houzz. Then I see the best answer. Here is an example. I am on gardenweb.com now. If i go to this post it flips.

I can't get my answer to post here. ETA: I think they posted??

I too stay logged in to GW. However, certain post flip to Houzz. Here is one.

Well, it didn't do it for me....all responses in order from oldest to newest and NO 'best answer'!!

I can make this thread do both. Right now, It is normal, no best answer. If I click on the bell to see notifications and go in there it shows the best answer.

I only come in through gardenweb, and I stay logged in, and I see "Best Answer." I don't like the way it makes the answers out of order so I usually scroll over it. .....For a while I was having to click "oldest" every time I looked at a post or else it defaulted to newest answer first, which also makes the responses out of order. But after doing that every time, now the default for me is oldest answers first. I don't know if that happened due to my persistence or if I just got lucky.

I finally unchecked everything but this site and seemed to eliminate the problems of Houzz leading you down a path
