TipsI just found this cool (mostly free) tool that helps you pull a dynamic photo feed from Twitter, Instagram, and/or Facebook. If you use their Pro version, it also includes custom CSS and moderation tools.

Tips❤️You already know that you can insert images into your Hoop.la posts by clicking "Add Attachments." But do you know how to refine the SEO value for each image? This quick tip offers some additional options that may help optimize your post (and make it easier to read for accessibility purposes).

Crowdstack DiscussionOkay, am I not online. I write a lot of replies in our community. I'd like to think I'm an original thinker, but it turns out a great deal of what I type is almost boiler-plate text.

You can read about that here: Styling a post that has been forked to a new discussion There's a step where you have to edit the post and put some...

Blog Post CommentHi Lhisa, Hoop.la doesn't do any checks based on IP address that would prevent you from sending a dialog to another user. Users can choose to prevent others from sending them dialogs, however (assuming you are talking about dialogs). Thus, the new feature that allows you to register users through the control panel should behave the same way. The only difference is that you will not be logged in as the new user (as you would have previously). Without knowing exactly what error you're getting,...
