Tips❤️Thought I'd share a few of the CSS customizations we've made to our site which may be helpful to others, ...with the hope that a few of you would post your favorite customizations too. Please include your site's URL. (Would also welcome comments from Hoop if any of these need adjusting.) Our site: www.rotation.org /*hides # of views and bookmarks on a topic*/ .h-topic-metadata { display: none; } /*makes "Current Visitors" profile pics widget bigger*/...

Tips❤️"How to put a widget in the main left column of the homepage" was one of the first questions I asked Hoop about during Beta, and I have seen many others ask the same question since. Answer: you can't put real widgets there. But I did figure out how to 'fake' one there --which also has the side option of creating 3 columns, if you like that sort of thing. Why? We like the idea of more custom content in the Main Left Column (aka " MLC "), and less of the preset content blocks feeding...

Blog Post CommentCan I do this for our blog/announcements feed?
-
Blog Post CommentYou sure can! On your blog page, on the right hand column, you should see an RSS link. Just grab that and feed it into Hootsuite as I described above, and voila. Just let me know if you run into any trouble, and I can help further.

Blog Post CommentThanks for this improvement, Hoop. The old deactivation method was so tedious. But what happens if they are a Premium Member??

Topic Reply❤️👍Lighting a candle for the dearly departed Activity Stream There are certain things about you that will be missed: 1. You announced New Premium Members and Newly Registered Members. You were a not-so-subtle encouragement to get others to "join in" too. You gave instant recognition to newbies. You gave community leaders a convenient place to see and follow up on newbies listed there. ( Where do they go now? ) You were a visible way to generate a sense of "community" -- which is something that...

Blog Post CommentMaybe it's a European/ American difference Ted, but a *yes man* over here is someone to be avoided at all costs. No thoughts of their own , and a people pleaser extraordinaire . Someone more to be pitied than laughed at really " Vive la difference."........Sorry my computer can't do accents. I caught this by good luck, because I never check the blogs ( due to all the twitter carp)

Blog Post CommentThe world, and especially NYC is a better place for Chi Chi Valenti and Johnny Dynell inhabiting in it. Ms. Valenti's depth of writing/poetry talent, and ability to create and lead whole movements (and circus leadership!) is awe inspiring. She is the real thing..

Blog Post Comment❤️I might be wrong but I think sometime in 1997 there was Ultimate Bulletin Board, Version 3.0 - Beta 2 . We had just started our forum then with you guys.

Blog Post Comment@Amral Khan yes! Wow, that really brings me back. You need an "OG" badge.

Blog Post CommentWould love to see some new Hoop features or tweaks to existing ones that glean and highlight “recent replies and new topics being discussed” in an attractive way so as to support the important goal you have written about, Rosemary. The block extracts don’t cut it. The Activity Stream tries but it’s too real-time and not descriptive. You don’t have to look far for what an enticing conversation boosting feature might look like. See Facebook. I have several ideas when you’re ready to brainstorm.
