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*/...
"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...
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.

I caught this by good luck, because I never check the blogs ( due to all the twitter carp)
And, for those who'd like to hear from the Queen of Community herself, Rosemary O'Neill, take a listen to this podcast! She is our featured guest, and she knows a thing or two. http://getheartmarketing.com/w...-la-with-rhogroupee/
Would 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.
Hi, Dana: Did you click the "Enable" box next to the emojis you added? (Per this topic: https://hey.crowdstack.com/top...ojis-in-your-hoop-la ). Also, make sure you scroll to the bottom of the page and hit the "Update Emoticons" button.
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
