Does anyone know why I can’t post/attach photos?!

Does anyone know why I can’t post/attach photos?! I think a couple of other forum members mentioned the same frustration. Carol

    Nope, but I can't either, and some other folks have mentioned that they can't. I am going to try again tomorrow, hoping "they" will have fixed it by then.

    It appeared to be working as the image showed, then disappeared when posted.

    That has been my exact experience a bunch of times as I keep on trying to post photos. Diane

    Diane and I discussed this yesterday. I tried to post another pic about an hour ago, and, as Kim said, it showed as loaded and posting but when I hit submit, only my comment showed. Exactly the same as yesterday.

    @portlandmysteryrose

    Hi, I started a another tgread today too-about this POSTING PHOTO PROBLEM. No one has been able to post photos for 24 + hours on this forum. i wrote HOUZZ about it & have not teceived a reply.

    HOPE THAT HOUZZ FIXES THE POSTING PHOTOS ISSUE!

    Thank you for the feedback. Your experiences are identical to mine. Photo appears….and then disappears and only text posts.

    At least I’m in good company. And for once, the culprit is not my internet service. I finally upgraded that last month.

    🤞 that Houzz fixes this ASAP! I mean, a rose forum without photos?! I wonder if it’s just the garden forums struggling to attach images.

    It frustrates me that in many old threads you can't see pics, only GWI 209898348 etc. I assume it's a problem storing all those old pics. Maybe they're working on their picture posting, trying to correct something.

    I just figured out how to use HOUZZ APP TO POST OHOTOS-it doesn’t work as well as the online posting-BUT ONLINE PISTING PHOTOS HAS NOT WORKED FOR 2 days now-48 HOURS!!!!!

    Try down load HOUZZ APP-I’d use it temporary while regular Houzz posting photos doesn’t work. BUT I WOUODNT USE APP ALL THE TIME-because it is too limited.

    THANK YOU.

    At the bottom of any thread there is a list of topics. Under "get help", I tried "Houzz Support", but that was useless. Then I tried "contact" (also under "get help"). That at least allowed me to send them a message - I will let you know if anyone responds.

    Let's see . . .

    NOPE. You know, if they've decided to eliminate photos, the whole dang thang is useless.

    Hmm, do you think Meta may have bought Houzz and discontinued photo posting to drive the traffic to Facebook and Instagram? Just wondering.... (snark)

    portlandmysteryrose thanked roseseek
  • 4 years ago

    My thought almost immediately is that houzz is having financial difficulties and wants to eliminate the unprofitable forums. I'm sure the various rose forums are at the top of the elimination list. I don't think Kim's suggestion above is too farfetched. Diane

    <SIGH> Nor do I.

    Well, we've lost gardening forums in the past, and I imagine it could happen again.


    portlandmysteryrose thanked jerijen

    The only reason these forums still exist is to drive traffic to the actual money making facets of Houzz. If the forums don't provide paying customers, they'll discontinue them. If WE don't pay to use the forums, then WE are the product. They don't provide this 'service' out of the 'goodness of their hearts'.

    I would be happy to pay for a membership in the Roses Forum, but they've never asked. Our alternative is buy a bunch of decorator junk en masse to make them like us. Diane

    I hadn't been able to "follow" or "like" posts for some time, then it began working. I wasn't receiving notices about responses to my comments or posts, then they began again. Now, I also receive an email notice about MY comments, not just everyone else's. So, SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING. I learned a long time ago, volunteering with Help Me Find, how one little seemingly insignificant change in one part of the programming could generate massive results elsewhere and no one would have ANY idea until the whole thing went down the drain. Perhaps that's what's happening here?

    Using HOUZZ APP to post photos……
    They are having tech difficulty or their APP photos would not work either. Some photos from HOUZZ APP….. Yves Piaget, Frances Meilland, Moonlight Magic, Moonlight in Paris…

    Wish regular Houzz photos online was fixed to function again??????

    Thank you all who sent notes to Houzz and joined my grumblers party! It’s an absolute delight to see all these rose photos. I can breathe again. Carol

  • 4 years ago

    Woohoo! I’ll stop using this Houzz APP so I can enjoy the Houzz online-which is better! Love seeing all your photos!!!!!!!

    I got a repair confirmation email from Houzz, too, @jacqueline9CA. I’ll make a note of the trail you blazed to the contact form so that I can follow it again next time. @Kittysrosegarden, simpler, straightforward website access is always a relief when you can get it these days, but you were clever to discover a back door thru the app! :-) Carol

    I created a new post this morning with a picture and it never showed up. Is there a delay time between posting and the post showing up?


    I don't see how eliminating discussions can save them money. it's not like they have to hire anyone extra because there's a rose forum. It's just a few extra bytes in a database. Hard drives are dirt cheap.

    Do the photo problems continue? Apparently it's still working, at least for some.
