Looking around Scooploop I have seen the effect that members leaving has. If you decide to 'leave' Scooploop, then unless you have a reason to delete your posts/comments, then there is no reason to do anything. There are more than 10,000 members on Scooploop, if you look at their profiles you will see many with no activity at all. These accounts are doing no harm; the member may be a reader or no longer be around.
If you just want to not be involved in Scooploop for a while for some reason, you could turn off PMs, so as not to waste people's time, and put some information in your profile. You can then 'return' at any time.
Deleting your account leaves a post with deleted comments, and ruins the post for readers, current and future. Look back on some old posts to see for yourself.
Also, if you are a big contributor in a loop, deleting your account deprives members of any interesting/useful information you have posted. If I were to delete my account, then the IT loop would be almost empty.

I can see from an old post that even a Scooploop moderator did not understand the features of a hidden loop, which are:

1. It is hidden! You cannot see it unless you are a member of it.
2. You cannot join a hidden loop unless you are invited.
3. Even if you have the address of the loop you cannot see it.
4. Unless a member tells you, there is no way to find out that they belong to a hidden loop; it is not listed in the loops that they belong to.

Even if you are one of the moderators who voted yes, you may not realise all the consequences of the setting. The feature can be made use of by advertisers. Information about Bubble posts will be posted in the Scooploop members that advertise loop; if you are not already a member, you can join here: https://www.scooploop.com/loops/scooploop-members-that-advertise

To provide a link to a comment, click the 3 dot menu next to the comment, then click 'Copy link'.

Top right on a member's profile you can see a member's friends, this display is limited to 20, but if the member has more than 20 friends, you will see a + figure in blue. If you click the figure, the rest of their friends will be displayed. This feature is not available for a member's loops.

For various reasons, advertisers are currently having a field day in loops. Rather than having to deal with a member after they have advertised, I have created a loop where you can check on guilty members before you admit them. Note that there is nothing in the settings to prevent someone from posting comments.

Click below to join the loop. You can post guilty members who are not shown on the list.

Some moderators are allowing new members who are potential advertisers to join their loops. Once you allow such a member into your loop, there is nothing that you can do to stop them posting an advert in a comment; in the settings you can only stop them posting. Need a crime scene cleaned up!?

If you change the text in the title of a post after posting, note that if you later provide a link to that post, that the original title will show in the link.

Please remove this spammer; some moderators are letting anyone in:

Firstly we apologise for the recent site downtime; we had a few unforeseen technical issues.

To put the any conspiracies to bed, we were NOT hacked, nor was anyone’s personal details stolen.

As many of you have noticed the team have been relatively quiet recently. We have been busy working on upgrading the system to make the site more stable, faster, and even have a few little extras coming up for you.

However, we have been juggling this with a few paid for jobs that helps keeps Scooploops lights on, which has delayed deploying the updates.

It won’t be long now.

As always, we appreciate your support, the use of the platform and mostly playing nice 😊

Scooploop Team

I can see that some members are having trouble posting links. When you post a link to a website, you should not post it as a link obtained using a search engine and which includes the search engine's name in the result. If you do this, the image which you can usually click, will take you to the search engine's website instead, as in this link to X: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=x
This is because Scooploop reads the website at the beginning of the link to create the clickable image. Clicking the link instead of the image will take you to the intended location, but to avoid confusion, always post a link directly to the website.

Read the end of the webpage!

Got this warning but can't find out what it is so don't know if I should remove it, any advice ?

Many members use a photo as their avatar. If your avatar is your photo, note that this is one of the personal pieces of information that you should not put on a public website such as Scooploop. Your photo can be used to identify you and be used maliciously or for fraud.
Other things that should never be posted are:

1. Your real name*
2. Address
3. Phone number
4. Email address
5. Date of birth

On Facebook, never post your holiday photos while you are on holiday, or that you are going on holiday.

*I noticed on a friend's Facebook page, a name I recognised from Scooploop. I visited that friend yesterday, and she told me all about that person!

This is what happens when a moderator disappears or doesn't care. If they are let in, you cannot stop them posting comments.

The following posts cover using the site.

1. Accessing the site
2. Avatar drop-down list
3. Explore icon
4. Posting events and polls
5. Scooploop help website
6. Posting videos
7. Posting
8. Blocking
9. Scooploop locations
10. Highlight your contributions in a thread.
11. Unable to comment/react on a post
12. Icons below a post
13. A member's avatar
14. Setting up a loop
15. Using search
16. Non-appearing posts
17. New loops not possible at the moment! Hit and miss!

19. Editing Scooploop post titles.
20. View a member's friends
21. Providing a link to a comment
22. Hidden loops
23. Deleting comments
24. Searching in a loop

Whilst the tech support loop is inactive, you can post here instead. If you are using it for test purposes, please delete your post when finished.

I'll soon be posting a list of posts showing how to use Scooploop - See sticky post.

I have created a new loop for moderators to check to see if a member has advertised before they allow them to join. Also, you may already have them as a member. Click below to join:

https://www.scooploop.com/loops/scooploop-members-that-advertise

Please click link below to vote.

When answering a comment in a loop I am not a member of there are no reply options under the comments.

Some loops that appear to be dead are not, it is just that the moderators, be they Scooploop moderators or volunteers, have set up the loops to review posts. Here is a moderator who is in charge of many loops around the world, who has gone missing.

https://www.scooploop.com/user/LittleGravitas

As the above loops are not functioning, you can post any questions here, and you may get an answer from a member.

If you create a post, and it does not appear, it is because it is awaiting approval by the loop's moderator.

The search box in the menu bar will search the whole of Scooploop to which you have access, but the Search Loop search box will search only the loop you are currently viewing.
The search boxes will show content that is not available without searching, such as the content of deleted posts, and posts awaiting approval. Search cannot find Scooploop staff.

Click the link below for information on how to set up a loop.

Be aware that when you set up your loop, it will only be shown in the list of loops on the app. This is because the app shows all loops, whereas viewers of the website can see only loops that have 2 or more members. To overcome this you can ask someone to join it.

Placing the mouse pointer on a user's avatar will give the following information:

1. Their number of posts.
2. Their number of comments.
3. Their number of points (upvotes)
4. How long ago they joined.
5. How far away they are.

Clicking the user's name next to the avatar will take you to their profile, where clicking their avatar will show the full image.

From left to right, the icons below a post are as follows:

1. Reaction emoji - can be changed if the wrong one is clicked.
2. Upvote post/comment - there is no downvote.
3. Comments - You must click this to see all comments and for the thread to display properly.
4. Reply to a post/comment. This will automatically insert the name of the member you are writing to.
5. Share - you cannot share from a closed loop.

Someone has asked 'why use the Scooploop app?' If you use the app, why do you use it instead of the website on your phone. Please reply using the link below.

If you are unable to comment or react on a post, this may be because you are not a member of the loop. If, however, you do belong to the loop, but 'To fully interact with this loop, Join Loop' is shown at the end of the post, then the poster has blocked you. You may also see 'A comment is hidden' in the post; this will be a comment by the poster, or someone else that has blocked you! You are able to see their post due to a bug.

Below and to the right of an opening post you will see the attached lightbulb image. Clicking this will place vertical red lines to the left of all your comments. You will have to reactivate this next time you open the thread.

The office of Scooploop is at 516 Wandsworth Road in London.

The staff can be found at any time of the day in The Plough Brewery.

The website is located in Germany.

Should you not want to see the posts of a member, or for them to see yours, if you click their name, this will take you to their profile. On the right is a three dot menu with 'Block this user' at the bottom. Due to bugs, this does not prevent you or them from seeing posts totally, it only prevents the viewing of comments.

If you log on to Scooploop on the Home page, as per this link: https://bit.ly/46frGqg and wish to post something, there is no need to navigate to the loop that you wish to post in. When you click 'Create Post', if you belong to more than 1 loop, you will see the name of a loop, and on the right of this a left pointing arrow, clicking this will show all the loops that you belong to. You can then select the loop and your post will go straight there.

Videos are far better in landscape, unless you are using portrait for cropping purposes. Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok are a different matter.

When you click to create a post, you will see the image below. The first icon is to write a post, the second is to post an event, and the third to post a poll.
The event entry is self-explanatory. The poll gives a maximum of 9 choices and can run from 1 hour to 7 days. You cannot edit a poll. Many members never post anything, but come out of the woodwork when there is a poll.

In the comment below is the result of a poll on a member's age. Everyone is now two years older.

Using the Explore icon*, which is at the bottom of your loops at the left side of the webpage, you can view the following:

Videos: Videos posted by members.
Business: List of businesses on Scooploop.
Business posts: Business posts.
Events: Events. A neglected useful part of Scooploop.
Neighbours: Your Scooploop neighbours.

*
If you cannot see or easily find the Explore icon, the link below will take you there:

https://bit.ly/46dK1nQ

My Profile: Shows your posts and comments in open loops.
My Hub:Shows many details about your usage and activity, full details below*.
People: Shows friends and neighbours you may know.
Settings: Similar to My Hub, but has Profile images setup.
Saved Posts: This is a menu choice in a post.
Dark Mode: Dark mode switch.
Log 0ut


*Clicking My Hub, will take you to a page which displays your recent posts in the centre. The right-hand side shows information relating to your account, such as:

Your friends
Loops you run
Saved posts
Your recent activity
Blocked and muted users
Your recent comments

The left-hand side has many links, including the number of loops you use, and your account settings.

Depending on how you use Scooploop on the website, there are different ways of accessing the site, e.g., if your link always goes directly to the same loop, the name of that loop will appear after scooploop.c o m. However, if you go to scooploop.c o m's Home Page (scooploop.c o m), then what you see will be decided by the choices you make at the top of the page below the 'Create a post' text box.

First, do not have the 'Show selected content box' ticked, or you will see a post 2 years old below the top post, and may think it is current. In line with that on the right, you will see 'Filter: Default', clicking the drop-down arrow will enable you to choose what posts you see. See the attached image for the choices.

Please note that loops with only one member do not appear on the website; you need a minimum of two.
