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:

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.

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:

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.

*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.

Thick line,

Outraged neighbours have lost the last round of a battle to stop the demolition of a 'perfectly good' £300,000 house in their suburban cul-de-sac, to make way for a cycle path.

The four-bedroom private home, which is less than 20 years old, will be flattened to create a cycle route to a new 'affordable' housing development.

The destruction order for the £300,000-plus house forms part of a proposal for 45 new social housing homes - comprising 22 flats and 23 houses - next to the existing private properties on the leafy outskirts of Cardiff.

Neighbours denied 'Nimbyism' but complained about creating a social housing 'ghetto'.

But families lost a planning battle against the cycle path and footpath through their neighbourhood after it was given the green light by Cardiff Council on Tuesday.

Some homeowners expressed fears their property would be ‘devalued’ while others suggested the path would provide an easy escape route for burglars.

Other residents said their children would be put at risk from increased traffic coming from the new development.

Initial plans for the development included the closure of Ty-Draw Road to through traffic but residents felt the road closure should take place elsewhere.

In an objection letter residents claimed Cardiff Council had refused to release the consultation of the Highway Authority's response to a statutory consultation, so they were unable to see if the alternative road closures they suggested had even been raised.

An amended application was then launched by the developers omitting proposed bollards to close the road and instead demolishing the house to create the cycle route through Clos Nant Glaswg and across Ty Draw Road.

The house was bought more than a year ago by Edenstone Land, partners of the site developers United Welsh, who is renting it out before the demolition.

Mrs Maria Gaylard of the same area claimed, in the planning application comments, she never received either of the two letters sent by the council regarding the planning proposals. In fact, Miss Leanne Donovan believed only five per cent of residents received any letters.

A petition to 'Save Number 43' had been signed by nearly 300 people , calling on the council to reject the pathway plans in the Pontprennau suburb.

The £300,000 home, pictured above, in Cardiff was built less than 20 years ago but its demolition was approved by the council on Tuesday

The proposed cycle route, as seen in red, will replace the house, leading to the affordable housing. It will provide a 'strategic active travel link' for residents and provide a safe alternative to cars

Residents Rob Lee (left) and couple Vaughan and Alison Williams (right) believe they are at risk of higher crime rates because the alleyway will be a 'rat run'

Neighbour Joanna Fashan presented the petition to Cardiff council's planning committee - in a desperate battle to save their privacy.

She said: 'Residents deliberately purchased properties on this street as it was a closed cul-de-sac, knowing we could raise our families safely, have quiet retirements, feel safe living alone, and all the other positives that living on such a street has.

'This alleyway creates a rat run. We are therefore at risk of higher crime rates, for example from opportunist car thieves. This puts the safety and security of the whole community at risk.'

Emma Fortune, a planning agent representing the developers, said: 'This footpath and cycleway will provide an important strategic active travel link for residents.

'The link provides a safe and convenient alternative, so residents can walk or cycle, rather than use their cars.'

The new pedestrian and cycle link, where the house currently stands, will allow for easier pedestrian and cycle access to the existing facilities and services located in Pontprennau and the surrounding area via the existing estate roads.

The link of the cycle route to these roads will be accompanied by a raised table and crossing warning signage to provide associated traffic calming measures across Ty Draw Road, as stated in revised planning applications.

Neighbours also raised issues of the link to the new development which will be 'plonked' in isolated fields

Residents Rob Lee (right) and couple Vaughan and Alison (left) launched the petition 'Save Number 43' - it received almost 300 signatures but failed to prevent council approval of the plans

But one councillor hit back by saying people such as 'lawyers and engineers' live in social housing.

Cllr Ali Ahmed said: 'We're not creating any ghetto. Most people who live in social housing, some of them are solicitors, barristers, engineers, you name it. Yes we are destroying one house, but we are trying to provide 45 much-needed homes for Cardiff residents.'

Six councillors on the planning committee voted in favour of granting permission for the scheme - with two voting against and two abstaining.

Vaughan and Alison Williams are both retired and have lived at their home for over 20 years but will now consider moving.

They said: 'We've got no problem with social housing and when we purchased our property it was in a quiet cul-de-sac.

'The demolition won't make us feel secure and it'll change the dynamic of the street. You don't expect a perfectly good house to be demolished.

'The cycle path leads to nowhere, there's no shops at the bottom of the road.

'If the decision wasn't reversed eventually we would move because our dynamics would change completely.

'As a community here, we don't object to social housing, only the cycle lane.'

The neighbours deny being 'not in my backyard' nimbys trying to block the people living in the affordable homes.

Pictured above is resident Vaughan who said the cycle path would change the 'dynamics' of the cul-de-sac completely

Despite upset from residents Developers United Welsh say the development will provide high-quality affordable homes

Action group chairman Rob Lee said: 'Even if you build 5-bedroom luxury houses we would oppose the plan, if it involved the demolition of one of our homes and destroying our way of life'

Residents also raised issues of the isolated nature of the development which is 'plonked 'among fields with no amenities or connectivity.'

Mr Lee said: 'This lets people in affordable housing down.'

Developers United Welsh say it is important for the new builds to 'integrate well' with the community.

A spokesman said: 'This development will provide much needed high-quality homes for affordable rent and first-time buyers.

'It is important for the proposed new homes to integrate well with the community and for pedestrians and cyclists to have adequate access to local facilities and amenities

'Local residents are being consulted as part of the planning process.'
