Why is the like button showing black?

Usually after I click it turns green. What is the matter?

Also, one does not see new posts a different color.

    Seems someone at Houzz broke the styling, I see it too. It will probably be fixed soon once they realize what happened unless this was a misguided ’update’. Interestingly the usual lag I get when typing on my phone seems to be fixed though autocomplete is still borked as always.

    The title of a thread just read doesn't change to a lighter shade of print, either. I don't like that at all. Diane

    I am on my phone and its turning and staying green for me. New posts are in bolder print. Are you guys on computers?

    I wish someone with an in with houzz could get this fixed.

    iPhone here and its black for me too - I’m surprised its not fixed already. I’m a software developer and style bugs like this should be super easy to fix but maybe its part of a bigger rollout and they are having trouble 🤷‍♀️

    They probably don't know about the glitch.

    MacBook Air here too. Still the same as yesterday.

    All of the Houzz forums are like this. We can hope that someone will notify them about it.

    I tried the app and its the same. I filed a ’suggestion’ by going to http://help.houzz.com and selecting Contact Us at the bottom about the two issues discussed here. There is also a chat bot option that might lead to a real person but it required a phone number which I didn’t feel comfortable with.

    Good for you, Heather. I hope that helps.

    On my desktop PC it stays black and changes to "Liked".

    Got an email from support asking for screenshots, I replied with examples (all user pictures, names, and comments greyed out) so here is to hoping we get some traction.

    I think you fixed it Heather!

  • 2 years ago

    No, I guess it is not fixed yet, Heather. I saw one green like but all are still black for me after, and new posts are not a different color yet.

  • 2 years ago

    Doesn't it seem really weird that they need you to send screenshots, etc., when they have a huge number of gardening forums, and they're all doing this? In other words, why can't they just read a post or like it, and see for themselves what's going on? Who is this "support"? LOL

    Susan, as someone who works in software I can almost guarentee it’s in the the boilerplate support script. In many cases support is just a call center weeds out user errors, easy fixes, etc and gathers the information to pass to devs. in bigger companies like Google and Facebook they are often specialized vendors and a bit more skilled. still, in either case they usually aren‘t in a position to make a judgement call about whether a screenshot is needed.


    I haven’t heard back and nothing is fixed yet so we will see 🤷‍♀️

    Heather, yeah, that's what I figured. Just a contracted person or call center to weed out the complaints with no access to the actual website.

    I think the read posts are now fading out so we can see new posts being darker. Finally!

  • 2 years ago

    The buttons on my PC is green but on my phone it's still black.

    The like button still does not change color for me. Maybe that will take another month.

    Sheila, the "read thread" fading situation fixed for me on Thursday afternoon (hooray!). I made a new thread about it. I was very short and sweet about it, and asked if anyone else had noticed, but I got no replies and no likes. So I figured they made it one of those mystery posts that only the OP can see, so I deleted it on Friday evening. I use a MacBook Air, and the like is still not green, but that doesn't really bother me... it was the unread situation that was super bothersome :-D

    Ditto here, Susan. I did not not see your mystery post, but I am glad we now can tell a new post.

    My iphone photos currently will not offload to my MacBook Air. More troubleshooting ahead.

    Just got this email in response to my original complaint from a while back. Strange it took so long, I wonder if they did an upgrade/overhaul of their UX library and that caused the issue, sometimes that can introduce surprising bugs that are hard to fix.
