TipsHello Everybody, Opening links in new windows is trivial once you know what you are doing. Simply add a target="_blank" attribute to any link (a element) and you have yourself a link that will load in a new window. Example: <a href="http://socialstrata.com" target="_blank">Example</a> So seeing how simple it is you might be asking yourself why do we need a tip? Well its simple, a lot of the HTML for Crowdstack is out of the site administrators direct control. Meaning there will...

Crowdstack Discussion❤️💯Hey everyone- We've made a couple of changes to the way that our customer support system works. 1. All customer support tickets are now always private. That means that only the person that created the ticket and our support staff can see each ticket. This way, no one ever has to worry about private details about their sites being made visible to the world. 2. Because those customer support tickets are always private now, we disabled the "suggestions" option in the Customer Support area.

Blog Post CommentHi Rosemary, Thanks for the COPPA update. Can you call out the cavalry on the eve question shark forum? There are a bunch of us whose entire websites and forums have been down for an hour without response from social strata. Thanks so much.

Blog Post CommentI think the basic age limit should be raised to 18. Just had a high school senior friend me on Facebook simply because I graduated there 25 years earlier. I seriously doubt that she would really want to hang out with a 43 year old truck driver.

Blog Post CommentYou're welcome Lynda! And the cavalry resolved the issue yesterday...I'm looking to improve our outward communications when things like that happen; we'd like to be much more proactive than we were yesterday, and I'm sorry for that. Harold, I might agree with you. It's kind of funny that the actual age issue never really came up in their discussions. It's probably because there are certain situations where you wouldn't want to lock out 15-16 year olds.

Blog Post CommentThe conversation about kids online is an interesting conversation. Sometimes it is tricky to navigate these waters. Do you guys staff an ip lawyers or do you use one from the outside. I would be interested to see how small businesses handle these issues.

Blog Post CommentWe do care about our privacy. How many people have web cams running 24/7 in our homes?

Blog Post CommentMy best recommendation would be to consult a lawyer about what your GDPR requirements are. If you are not doing business in the EU or directly marketing to users in the EU, you may not need to comply. You also might consider your specific workflow. If these users are doing direct business with you, you could make it clear in your separate onboarding / contracting process that their personal information will need to be used in your internal system (Hoop.la) as a contingency of being a...

Blog Post CommentWhen asked in a private interview what he thought of his customers providing Facebook with all their private information, Mr. Zuckerberg referred to his customers as, "...a bunch of dumb f**ks." At that moment I lost all respect for that simple twit.

Blog Post CommentI love how they use circles. It is a great way to organize your friends by their relationship. So many time with Facebook, you cannot specify how they are related to you. Hopefully we will see a bit more iphone application development in this realm. The app that Google has out now could use a bit more polishing. What do you guys think?

Topic ReplyHi EL LORO, I tested this in Windows 10, all of these are working for me. Windows Edge Firefox Google Chrome Opera It also works in the mobile device emulators here: http://mobiletest.me/htc_one_emulator/ I don't own any Apple devices so I can't test or report on them from direct experience. Interestingly, I use a great product called ActiveWords . It allows you to create keyboard shortcuts. It is similar to AutoHotKey. When I created an ActiveWord for (Enter, Left Arrow, Enter x 3) the...

Blog Post Comment#3 "request deletion of all of their content by the admin" is a problem for message threads where a user's content is critical to the rest of the user's messages in that thread. They should not have the right to ruin other people's contributions if their post is important or replied to. What I would suggest is that they have the right to remove their NAME from posted content, not the content itself, in order to make their content anonymous. At our 'lesson' content site, we view all posts as...

Blog Post CommentThat item is a "request" by the member for the admin to delete their content. You can refuse to delete their content, if you feel it's within your rights. We're just providing the mechanism that will support compliance with GDPR; what you choose to do with it is your decision as the owner/admin. Unfortunately, when technological solutions are legislated, they don't always think of the consequences for all scenarios. Sadly, online communities were not really given deep consideration when...

Blog Post CommentHi Rosemary, will Social Strata be adding a feature for people to opt-in to emails? Our CRM is adding this feature so we can be compliant with GDPR.

Blog Post CommentHi @Lynda ! We aren't currently planning on making any changes to the notification system in Hoop.la as part of the upcoming GDPR changes. I'm not aware of any specific requirements in GDPR related to email delivery or opt-in. Here's the list of the key changes being introduced by GDPR: https://www.eugdpr.org/key-changes.html Hope that helps!
