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 CommentHi Richard- There is no setting to prevent it, but you could apply some custom CSS to hide it: div.likeReplyColumn { display:none !important; } (Add that to your Custom CSS field in Display Settings in your admin control panel.)

Thus, you can now like the primary content itself, as well as any comment/reply. To like "the initial post", click on the like option in the right column near the top of the content page.

Blog Post CommentLike the likes as well. One question: Is there yet a way to set the default avatar to something other than the silhouette of a man - like to one of the stock avatars. Most of my site members are women, so the man doesn't fit at all. Sorry, guys!
-
Blog Post CommentHi Julia, There's still no way to change the default avatar. The good news is that if you upload stock avatars, it's very easy for anyone to select one of your predefined, stock avatars Brian

Blog Post CommentHi @Brian Lenz thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The issue I'm talking about is the consent provision. From what I understand, GDPR is the oppposite of CAN-SPAM - meaning people need to give a specific opt in (unless the use qualifies as legitimate use) rather than opt out. Right now on the registration form there's no specific way people can opt in to receive communications, is there?
-
Blog Post Comment@Lynda , I don't see GDPR as being related to CAN-SPAM. GDPR deals with privacy and processing of personal data. Part of that is the consent provision you mentioned, but that's about consent to collection of personal data, not specifically related to communications/email. With the GDPR updates to Hoop.la, you will have the ability to put a description (optionally) on any profile field so that you can give clear purpose as to why each field is being collected. You're right that there is no...

Blog Post Comment@Brian Lenz Actually GDPR is the exact opposite of CAN-SPAM; it's not related at all! We've been following CAN-spam using what you describe below as our guidepost but I've sat in on sessions with attorneys who are saying we need to get explicit opt-in from people in order to email them with GDPR if we are collecting their data. Our CRM has offered an automatic feature to comply with this requirement, that is why I am asking. And it's due to the consent provision of GDPR. I can DM you the...
