Why can’t I modify a post with my iPhone when I’m on Houzz but can when on the computer ??
Does anyone know ?
All I can do is ‘add a comment ‘.
If I realize I’ve made a mistake and go back to edit the feature is not there only on my IPhone
Thanks

    Click on the three dots in the lower right of your post.

    OK I did and saw no dots at the bottom of my post. Looking at the post on my phone, all I see is a thumbs up feature and a flag. That is it.

    Then under that, of course, 'add a comment'.

    This has been a problem for over a year now. That is why I tend to post from my computer and when I want to add a pic, from my Iphone.

    Thanks though.

    See. This is what I see on my Iphone. NO edit or delete features.

    And this is what I see in my computer or laptop. See the 'edit' feature on this verses seeing NO edit feature when using my Iphone?
    I can not even delete a comment from my Iphone.

    Are you using the Houzz app? This is what I see just using Safari…

    I posted on Kitchen Table about problems with GardenWeb when using my ipad or iphone. It's a real mess when trying to post. Several people joined in to say the same, and the final opinion was that houzz and Apple don't work well together. Someone suggested using another browser than Safari, but I never bothered.

    Simple answer? Because Houzz/gardenebb is a garbage platform and was old and out of date 15 years ago.

    15 years ago I was using a 486Dx with a 33mhz over clock to 50mhz with a clock tripling AMD Pentium overdrive running at 150mhz and 32 Megabytes of 60 ns ram on a platform using 98se with 32bit wide VLB mother board. 56k dialup modem 4 Megabyte video card. Houzz was way ahead of me.

    I had one of those in highschool, but that was the mid 90's. :). But even then no dialup, had a DSL.

    MyerMike - I have an Iphone. I can edit, I do see the 3 little dots but I use Safari, not the app. IIRC, someone on here said Safari worked better than the app?

    The prob. I have (and wonder if you or other apple users have had as well) is that when I type, after the 1st sentence or so, the words start showing up on a delay, like Im typing away but no words showing up on my post but then a few seconds later, ALL the words start showing up quickly, all at once, that I just typed. Really annoying!! Earlier today I tried to respond to a post on here & I got the ”OOPS! This page cannot be found” error msg for about an hour. I think the site went down?

    My motherboard dated 1992 and I didn't have DSL.

    Yes, Rebecca, that is what I have had too in the last few months, but I was too sick of Houzz to even complain. It also often turns my pictures on their sides. It is one of the reasons I don’t post very often any more. It’s not the great people here, but the platform that gets me down.

    PS: this is an edit, I can do that. The new Iphone SE, always updated, using Safari.

    Wow , weird but you are all right

    I used the Safari app and posting here was very diffetent although delayed typing as mention above And as I am typing nothing auto corerects thats a pain does not even let me use periods

    This site has always been really awful since Houzz took it over. the mobile version has tons of glitches and is one of the main reasons i stopped posting here as much. its extremely frustrating to deal with.

    Yup, writing a longer post on a phone just takes too much time. And I have practically all my pictures on my phone these days.
