Why is it so difficult to type in Houzz now?

4 years ago

In the good old days I had no problems. Typing kept pace with my fingers, but now I'm waiting for the text to catch me up. A double space left a period at the end of a sentence and capitalized the first letter of a new sentence - not any more. What happened to the coding on this web site to make it so difficult to add content? Is there any way to get them to fix it?

    Fyi , double space = is a feature; Forget where but somewhere in settings for iphone, maybe keyboard you can manage things like this

    It may be your device and not the website. I have NO issues typing using my laptop. I don't use the phone app but I do read numerous complaints about its functionality.

    @eam44 I have exactly the same problem you describe - often have to sit & wait for all I keyed in to show up plus a few more quirky issues - repeating a word when I didn’t key it twice etc. It’s like very slow buffering. I am always using my iPad for this & had wondered if my desktop Mac would have same issues.. I know the problem isn’t my device or connection because it’s only an issue on this site.

    If it is the site, then why is this issue so sporadic? Many members have no problems at all with typing and posting so a website malfunction seems unlikely to be the sole cause. I still contend it is the app and the device it is used on that is the source of the issue. So yes, responsibility lies with improving its functionality but not necessarily with the website as a whole.

    I’m not using Houzz app on my ipad so don’t think that’s my issue.

    I have no problems on my computer, but horrible lagging and missed letters in my ipad , not the app.

    Yeah, I’ve finally realized the issues are with the iPad interface. Very, very annoying.

    Once it starts bogging down I hit ”Done” and then go back to typing. It works…for a while. I’m on an iphone via Safari.

    It’s really reassuring to know it’s not just me. Thank you all for taking the time to reply.

    I have had issues for months now, and rarely post anymore. Just takes too long. No auto punctuation, auto cap, spell correct . . . .etc. I complained about a year ago, and so many others agreed there were issues. But no change.

    I dont use the app

  • 3 years ago

    I don’t use the Houzz app, either. I use the same GardenWeb link I’ve used for 30+ years. Never had a problem typing, until a year or so ago.

    Even when Houzz took over, all was fine using my iPad. Then, what? The powers that be decided not to accommodate the thousands of Apple users who frequent this site? Sheesh.

    They have to know about the issues we’re all having. Obviously, Houzz just doesnt care.

    If on an apple device turn off the predictive text function. It is an apple keyboard issue which is well recognized on tech sites and happens on other apps and sites for me.

  • 3 years ago

    I just posted question/gripe about this. Where in apple does one ”turn off the predictive text function”?

    settings?

    what about lack of auto correct?

    no auto capitaluzation

    no punctuation corrections

    As someone else said it lioks like a really stupid person has taken over thevkeyboard
