Gosh darn *%#!! HOUZZ!!!

6 years ago

My bookmark for the conversation side keeps switching from GW to Houzz. I have each forum that I follow bookmarked separately and ALL the others stay as GW url. But when I click Conversations from my bookmarks it starts out as a GW url then switches. Grrrrr!!! This just started. Earlier today I was here and it worked as normal. What are they doing THIS time? And why just this forum, the one I use the most. Of course. If I go to another of my bookmarked forums and from Hour Topics in the sidebar there come here, it stays as a GW url. But when I bookmark that and try it from there it switches to Houzz! WTH?? Why are they messing with this?

    I'm having the same problem with the Kitchen Forum. I can't access it on my laptop - it automatically goes to Houzz even though I have GW bookmarked. What's even worse is that it doesn't really go to the Kitchen Forum it opens something titled "36 kitchentable dicussions/all questions" and the only recent post was from today when Alisande asked why she couldn't access the KT. All the other posts are from June or earlier and are a mix of topics.

    I can open the GW version of the KT on my iPad and iPhone. Yet if I type the GW address into my search bar it automatically goes to Houzz and the inane "36 kitchentable discussions...."

    The only way I'm able to get on the KT is by going to an old link titled "Help with forum layout!" and then clicking on a post by Buehl that has a link to the KT.

    I'm not having this problem with Home Decorating Conversations.

    I'm going to bed and I'll say a prayer that all is right in the morning - I'll say one for you too DLM.

    My GW links are broken.

    My kitchen table Garden Web forum link is the only one that is broken so far. I can no longer go to kitchen table via any of the links including on my main page of my cell phone. I can only get there through notifications now and that is not the main page only threads that I have posted on before. I hope that this one doesn't stay like this and is resolved to our satisfaction.

    Someone in IT is bored again.

    edit - Oh for crying out loud - now my link here worked and stayed GW url. I can't keep up.

    It switches to Houzz when I use the notification bell to navigate back to Conversations when there's a new reply. It doesn't happen with the other forums.

    It seems to happen on my phone & iPod , but not my Mac desktop.

    Oh Carol - how odd. It happens on my Mac laptop but not on my iPhone or iPad.

    This is bizarre.

    If I follow a link from an email notification or the bell, it is a houzz url and has been for a long time. There's no consistency across devices, app vs browser or anything else. It's maddening.

    I tried to get here via the bell notification but each time it asked me to sign in. Ive had to change my pw so many times i can’t remember it. I clicked the link to change my pw and it said a link was sent to my email. Never got it. Then this morning I clicked in the bell and got here just fine. Go figure .

    This is aggravating and the worst part is that it's so erratic that I can't figure out hot to fix it. I'm just hoping that one day it returns to normal.

    I can access this forum on all 3 device through my bookmarks. I can use my bookmarks on my iPhone and iPad to access the KT. But on my Mac it goes to that inane "36 table table discussions/all questions."

    I can access a specific thread on the KT using the bell.

    And it doesn't help that we're all in this together. I'd prefer none of us be miserable with or without company!

    Well - what do you know - I just tried my bookmarked Kitchen Table and it worked! Oh happy dance!
