I meant to say sign into houzz, not hours. I can’t see where to edit a post on this app.

Good point about the edit. I need to be careful, normally have a dozen typos and revisions due to eyesight.

I tried starting a new “Emily, please help!” thread but was unable to do so. Gah!!

I just checked my other browsers and I’m still logged in on firefox. Mental note: don’t clear history!

Clearing cookies and/or active logins is more likely what caused the forced log-out, not browser cache specifically. Firefox has options to select specific types of data on a history-clear.

Agreed. On Safari it’s all at once.

Hi guys. I hope you are enjoying the holidays.

Yes, the problem is with Houzz.

I think I heard a rumor that ”Em” was seen at Elon’s hot tub party and that she is going to be joining the new ”administration.”

Lars, my profile link is also broken. But I was able to log out and back in today as a test.

I can not sign in. Sign in page says no results found. I managed to get this posted by typing a comment and submitting and then it gave me the option to login with my gmail which is not how I got in before.

I Contacted Houzz for help through email. They sent me a change passoword link. That did nothing. They then asked me all these questions. I answered all the questions and replied back only to get an email saying the email address does not take replies. So frustrating.

They have a broken link issue maybe.

Just this morning, I went to go look at my "activity" and it said there was nothing there! Ack! If I click on any of your profiles and click activity, I also get the same thing.

This is what it says:

Sorry, we couldn't find any results

We couldn't find any resultsTips for better results:

• Try removing a filter (Room, Style, Location, etc.) to see more result

Food, thanks for fixing the @Emily tag. I tried to edit it after I posted it but couldn’t find the edit or delete button on the app!

deegw

I believe the site has broken links and if you logged out or you device logged you out after an update( which is what happened to me) you can not log in because that is one of the broken links. The work around if you get logged out is to try and respond to a post when i hit submit it bought me to a sign in link. There I used my google log in instead of email and got back in.

Hopefully it is only a temporary issue and after the holidays IT will be back from vacation and fix it.

Site may well be broken - I’m in gardenweb by default. I had logged in to Houzz. But, my firewall keeps popping up with message of warning ”unsafe site”. This, even though the secure lock shows in url. It may be they had a data breach at some point.

I can't sign in on my Android. Get the same experience as
DLM2000-GW .

You know, I get that these forums are probably low priority for Houzz and it might take a while to fix, but it would be nice if someone would simply acknowledge that they’re aware of these issues, say they’re working on them (if indeed they are), and post any workarounds that they may know of.

I have been unable to post for a few weeks through my usual gardenweb.com on my IPad. I had the same experience as DLM wrote about on Dec 24. After playing around a bit I got myself signed in just now through the Houzz site.

I clicked on Sign In on gardenweb.com and got routed to the Houzz page where I have been signed in. I used the search bar to look up this forum and here I am, able to write a comment. After I post this I’m going to go back to see if I am signed in now on the Gardenweb.com site. Reading this forum through Houzz is irritating to me (compared to gardenweb.com) so I hope I stay signed in now.

Nope, still not signed in on gardenweb.com.

testing to see if this posts. Im trying Teeda's method (I think it was Teeda) of logging in to houzz and going to my activity and trying to post to a thread I've posted to before.

Okay, that worked (at least I think it did but I don't know if anyone else can see this besides me), but nothing else does and I am limited to posting to two recent threads that I've already posted to. How is it possible for a professional website to be this messed up for this long without anyone addressing it? I also can't scroll through to the second page of existing posts. I am limited to viewing posts from the first page only.

Jellytoast, glad it worked but I now see that both my and Dee’s posts through the Houzz activity link are gone. I am here now through my phone. Still can’t access via laptop.

A couple more of my just published posts went poof — within the last few minutes.

HOWEVER— ahem, I managed to find a work around to get to my ACTIVITY log. Usually, I get the ”Sorry…” message like many of you are getting (???)

But, a few minutes ago, I got my ACTIVITIES page to open. Finally. I don’t plan on closing that window. For this post, I just opened up The Kitchen Table (from my desktop of Favorites) in a new separate window.

❓ Is anyone following me here? Get what I am saying?

Jellytoast —

Is this what your are looking for❓

👀 Screenshot below:

That is how I am able to post, petal. I followed Teeda's tip in the "I was locked out of GW" thread. I can only post to two threads that are in my recent activity. I cannot comment on any other threads or start new posts.

After dealing for YEARS and YEARS with all the Houzz glitches, I have completely given up hope of them fixing anything. The longstanding issues have never gotten fixed and no amount of complaining does any good. Happy New Year!

I hear you, but I am also thinking about why Houzz would care to invest anything into the forums. Is there any way the forums contribute to their revenue?

Meanwhile, there are workarounds.

Jelly, it seems that different memners have different issues with the forums. If you had someone else start a new topic thread on your behalf, would you be able to then post to that thread?

Or, if i give you a link to an older thread, can you open it, then post to it?

Are you logged in to TKT or GW or Houzz?

Can you begin a thread, post on the OTHER forum?

There is not a lot of activity on many of the forums, but it does seem as though TKT (The Kitchen Table) and is having the most problems. What do others think?

I can log in to Houzz, but lose my log in when I navigate to the forums. If I try to post to a thread, I get the error message, "sorry we couldn't find any results." I was able to send a message to DLM because she was already in my messages folder, but she couldn't open it once I sent it. I cannot post to this thread using the comment area on the bottom of the page. I can only post to it by going to my "recent activity" and posting there.

Jelly, that is weird. on my iphone w recent update to iOS, i have the same problem you describe in your first sentence, just above.

However, on my iPad with older iOS, i can create a thread and post. I need to stay logged in.

However, even with this ipad arrangement, I could Not view my Activity.. If I went to ”Your Houzz,” I could NOT go to Activity or Messages without getting the Sorry… message.

I finagled a way to get to my Activity and other features by going to some HOUZZ PAGES, then to My Houzz and Activity.

NOTE: For those of you unable to get to your Activiry page, try this link (and the last element in the link phrase will be YOUR USER NAME.

❗️Example, say for jellytoast (but put YOUR username at the very end):

➡️ https://www.houzz.com/activities/user/jellytoast

So, enter this into a new URL field

❗️❗️❗️➡️ https://www.houzz.com/activities/user/YOURUSERNAME

Once you find an OLDER THREAD, open it and see if you can then create a new thread, or post to an otherwise blocked thread. Sometimes the older thread give a better connection.

petalique, just tried this and it didn't work. I'm curious to see how long this post of mine lasts, as some of us are finding that posting through this avenue results in deleted posts.

^^^ Interesting. It fleetingly crossed my mind that after a few disgruntled people posted / responded to one or two of my posts a few weeks ago, that maybe there could possibly be a savvy disrupter.

There’s a good deal of activity on these forums, that could be monetized by Houzz through ads - even better if the ads could be tailored to the forum topic.

It has gotten even weirder for me. I can sign in on Hz, but as soon as I move around it defaults to GW. I can't sign in on GW, I get the"sorry we can't find what you're looking for."

I can only post in threads where I have already posted, by going in to my activity. For some reason this page stays in the Hz domain. But everything else auto directs into the GW domain, where I can't sign in.

Sigh. 🙁

Things are even stranger for me today. I posted on one thread (the boxing day thread). It doesn't appear if I check when not logged in. I thought something was weird because after I posted on it, and refreshed the main page, the thread didn't appear near the top and still has an old date. But other threads I posted on worked (my posts are there, even when not logged in).

I am logged in on my laptop (haven't had to re-login as I keep the page open). I used my iPad where I am not logged in to see if my posts were there. And of course if I try to log in on my iPad, I get the page not found error.

So ridiculous.

Testing. I am logged in here at work under Gardenweb, but when I try to long in at home I get that Sorry can't find any results thing. I can log into Houzz, but once I come over to the message boards, it reverts to Gardenweb. So trying to see if this posts here at work or not.

EDIT: it worked! Weird.

Anybody else suddenly receiving Houzz advertising in their notifications lists? For about a week I’ve been receiving at least one a day. This is a new thing for me to see in my notification list. Not a ’problem’ just annoying. I don’t typically search for items on HZ site & haven’t ever purchased via site.

I think some of the issues are fixed. I received a note that Houzz did an update. I did finally get a proper gardenweb sign in page with no error message. It didn't like either my username or password. Used the magic link to sign in via email and still didn't work. BUT, as a last resort, I reset my password and here I am!

I emailed them again today since I hadn't heard back from them since 12/20 regarding my login issue. They replied: "We've made an update that we believe should have resolved this issue for you. Please try to log in again and let us know if you are still experiencing this issue." Magically, I am able to login and post again from my laptop.

I thought it was interesting that they asked something like 20 questions, all pretty device specific, when so many people here using a broad variety of devices are experiencing the same issue. It's a THEM problem, not us!

Yay accepted my password! Still can’t find KT or CF on topics list, but it’s a start!

I'm finally able to sign in and post without going through "my activity." Yay!

Yep! I was able to log in at home, too.

YAY! 3 weeks later, but yes I was able to sign in too.

I'm in for the first time in about 3 weeks! I couldn't get in on any of my devices.

I now find I cannot get in on my laptop at all. It seems I only exist on my phone now. I have always been permanently logged in on both devices and haven't had to log in for years.

I can log into my usual account. I feel like deleting this thread. Some are still having issues....a quandry.

Which “usual account”? arcy? HU-numbers? Angela Young? Others?

It must be confusing to try to keep up with so many alternate accounts in the best of times, even more during board glitches.

I do believe in fairies I do I do!

It appears I am once again able to be signed in and post from my phone - fingers crossed.

Nicole - Are you not fixed yet?
