Tips❤️Time to give back to the community! I was able to figure this out on my own. I must say, being able to use CSS to control the display of content is valuable. If you are looking to hide the # of Topics within a Forum and the # of Replies to a post, just use the following code in your CSS. This definitely cleans up the look at feel of the pages, IMO: .h-topic-count-label { display: none; } .h-topic-reply-count-label { display: none; } I've tried this out on my site, so I know it works. Enjoy!

Tips❤️In Crowdstack, if you click your name (top right) there's a menu item Posting Tips . We wanted to control where that link went (instead of https://yoursite/member-cp/posting-tips ) Here's what we did. In Control Panel - Display Settings -- End of Page HTML We added some jQuery to locate the link and replace the href attribute with the address where you want Posting Tips to go. <script> $(function() { // Redirect Posting Tips to our own blog post with posting tips...

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). You'll notice there's an Attachments box at the bottom of the post, which is where you can adjust the Title and Caption if you'd like to do so. The Title field will default to the filename, but it's...

Blog Post CommentDon't count you chickens till they have hatched. Such a simple saying with so many uses. The basic message of don't count on anything till it happens is important. We must, of course, make plans but we should not rely on the result. This leads on the the The best plans of mice and men Has a connection with the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers during the Great Depression in California. Such plans that are made are easily sent asunder by...

Blog Post CommentHi Rosemary! Is there a way to create a collection for forum posts in this manner so it can be pulled into a widget like you suggest with the blog posts?

Blog Post CommentGreat idea, Ted! We occasionally have spammers register and then try to promote products that have nothing to do with our site. The posts get reported by other members and we zap 'em, but by using this recipe the posts would never be seen by anyone in the first place. Nice.

Blog Post CommentIs there a recipe for what we deal with? I have posting from email on. Our forum email gets heaps of spam. Hoop.la treats each spam email like a new member trying to register. The post is in the moderation queue so at least nobody sees the spam. But I wish that we could allow "posting via email" but auto decline any registration that appears to come from a first email. Any recipe for that? That would save me daily time in manually declining obvious spammers. Thanks.

Blog Post CommentHi Deb- Your scenario is not supported in that we would need to have a condition that checks to see if the content is submitted by email. I think that is a great idea, though, so we will consider adding that for a future release. Once we support that, you can just create a 'moderate content' recipe and set a condition for content posted by email. You may want to post this as an idea in our support site , if you want to be notified when that is added a feature.

Topic ReplyThanks for the reminder. I wish the ALT tag was a field in the “insert/edit image” window. A lot easier than scrolling through source code.

Topic ReplyThanks for this tip, Rosemary. The last time I checked, Pinterest also uses the "Title " info for what shows up as the description on a pin. It would be nice to have an easier way (other than accessing the HTML code) to add a data-pin-description. (Sheesh. Your customers are always wanting more!)

Topic ReplyNeil and Carol, I can't thank you both enough for commenting and revealing to me that this tip was half-baked! I've completely redone it, and guess what? You already can edit the Title and the Alt tags without going into the code.

Topic ReplyThanks for the clarification. I would suggest adjusting the word "Title" in the interface to "Title and Alt Tag" because "alt tag" is common web parlance, especially in SEO practice, and is an important thing to do (provide an alt tag).
