See 10 comments...Hi, this post is meant mostly for loop moderators. We've just introduced a long awaited page under you loop's settings box: Preferences. There are two options for now, but to be extended to many more. It's a brand new piece of work (beta phase) and it's still being tested, also on the apps. These changes are part of the plan to make Scooploop focused on Loops and related features, many more to come. Any issues and error reports are welcome as per usual. -
See 121 comments...Hi all, we've just updated the website and the app with many changes related to notification system. The page itself gained a new look, but there are also a couple of important logical changes, i.e. ability to control email and push (app) notification separately, and a few others. The changes have been applied both to general user notifications and to loop notifications. Any feedback and bug reports are welcome!

See 12 comments...What does this expression mean? I've looked it up and it does seem to mean "turn around quickly" - but does it have just that general meaning? Or does it have a specific meaning too, like "change your mind quickly"? I couldn't establish that really.

See 234 comments...Hi, we've just updated the website with several bug fixes and upgrades. One of them is the way how removed content is handled now. If a moderator removes your post or comment (perish the thought!) you will be able to see the reason for this on the page rather via email only. To be added to user app as well shortly. Please let us know if this works as expected. Have a good weekend.

See 9 comments...Hi, we've just updated the website and introduced a "new" label that can be seen on a thread page next to new comments and new replies (under 3-dotted menu). This feature should help you spot them easily, having received plenty of notifications originated in the same thread. As usual, any feedback is appreciated.

See 30 comments...Hi, several changes have been made to the website: 1. There were cases when blocked person could see the blocker's content - that should have been fixed now. Please let us know if you still find any issues. 2. Several users were complaining they couldn't find their own comments after posting them, so now submitting a comment/reply from the feed redirects to that comment. Let's see if everyone is happy with that. 3. Also as per several users' complaints - viewing comment notification does not clear other comment notifications belonging to the same thread. All the best, Tomek

See 4 comments...I cancelled my Netflix subscription but then I bumped into this documentary, I watched it yesterday and I can quite recommend it. There are two stories: one is about how they managed to produce the first image of a black hole. The other is about a team of 3 theoretical scientists trying to solve the information paradox along with late Stephen Hawking. They should have said more about details of both issues, i.e. how they designed the plan to solve both problems - that would have been super captivating. They focused more on people (as per usual Netflix approach) and their feelings.. anyway, still very good to watch on Sunday afternoon.

See 52 comments...Hi, we have just made some important changes and fixes to the site. Hopefully, making it less confusing to use the `reply` facility. Those are: 1. On feed view comments and replies are shown in a different manner, similar to the detailed view. 2. On detailed view we added a "bulb" button (example attached) that would highlight comments made only by self. Many users were complaining they cannot find their comments anymore, this should help in such cases. 3. There was a major bug - comments with images were not shown.

See 15 comments...Hi, the new update for the app should be now available on play store, android only. IOS should be available by tomorrow the latest. This update includes some important fixes to replying feature, still more to come in upcoming days. Any feedback is welcome. p.s. Poland vs. Sweden just started and it's already 0:1..

See 10 comments...I like binge-watching same old sitcoms over and over again. I particularly love Friends, The Office, IT Crowds, HIMYM, Flight of the Conchords (even been to a gig at O2 once) and they all have brilliant episodes at times. The winner for me though is 4.17 episode of New Girl: Spider Hunt. Just watched it yesterday again and it left me in tears as per usual. The chat between Nick and Jess is a pure masterpiece of comedy. If you don't know "New Girl" but have access to it, you can easily watch that one episode straight-on. The only background you need to have is that Jess and Nick used to go out and Cici is Jess's best friend - that should suffice.

See 185 comments...Hi, hope all of you are well. Little heads-up: most probably tomorrow we'll be introducing replies to comments. Meaning, if a user replies to a comment that comment would be shown in its own sub-thread (reply to a reply would still sit in the same sub-thread). As mentioned in several previous posts, it's bit of a challenge to transition from one state to another, so I'm asking for your understanding. The app is also ready for production release with this feature, but before everyone updates their apps, some comments might look bit confusing. Ultimately, long threads should be much easier to follow, maybe even with an option to mute certain sub-threads? We'll see how this feature evolves. Happy to answer any questions on this.

See 4 comments...I think I mentioned that one in a comment somewhere already. Anyway, I really enjoyed the movie, if anyone is after a light and funny movie for a Sunday afternoon, "Yesterday" is your answer. I've watched it like 3 times already ;) The story goes: A failed songwriter/singer is hit by a bus. When he recovers the world he knew is bit different now - an alternative history seems to have happened (i'm guessing the Mandela Effect was the inspiration?). People are not familiar with many things (i.e. Coca-cola) or bands for that matter, like The Beatles. And he knows all their songs. IMDB rating is bit low - probably not enough car chases? But for me it was fun to watch each time. Really liked Himesh Patel performance BTW, they should cast him left and right - laid-back yet intriguing . Lily James as his first manager is super charming IMO. Needless to say, you will hear plenty of the Beatles songs on the way.

Hi, I just wanted to let you know there are several issues with latest app release, esp. with notification list. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, we will try to make a new release tomorrow.

See 56 comments...Hi all, as some of you might have noticed, we've implemented this small feature: the badges. A badge is a type of award given by us (Scooploop) to certain users for a very specific reason (not overall input). The story behind is that I specifically wanted to say thank you to users who help us find bugs on the site - so this is a very simple way of acknowledging this in more formal way ("Bug hunter" badge). To make this feature less boring, we decided to add two more types: "Witty Individual" and "Helpful Aide". We've assigned several badges already, retrospectively - I hope no-one feels they've been forgotten. If they do, I still want to thank them for any input helping us making this site better. Maybe we add more potential badges or let users nominate someone for a badge? We'll see.

See 1 comment...For anyone who loves science or is simply curious this is by far the best book - according to me ;) It's mostly a collection of some challenging paradoxes and theories written for non-academics. Read it cover to cover some time ago I think in one or two days just because it was so captivating. Anyone wants to share their favourite book?

See 172 comments...Hi all, as you probably already noticed helpful buttons are no longer available. Instead you can choose to react with 5 other options - hope you like it. FYI, helpful clicks were turned into "heart" reactions. The app still uses helpful button, it should catch up in next days or so. As per usual, please report any bugs related. Have a good weekend.

See 10 comments...There are four TV shows that keep rewatching years after years. These are: 1. Friends - I'm not gonna lie this is the number one for me. The reason is that all episodes are almost equally good, so no matter which one you pick it will be fun to watch. All the actors are brilliant, almost no favourites. Maybe except Ross, my alter ego ;) 2. The Office (US) - there are plenty of episodes that are by far much better than any Friends ones, but the show is uneven at times. You will love the real feel of mockumentary with no background laughs, though! 3. The IT Crowd - that would be my number one in terms of actors, the humour and the fact it's about IT guys in London. But it's only 24 episodes I think so not enough to binge-watch. Every episode is a masterpiece though, every little details matters and everything always nicely wraps up at the end. 4. How I met your mother - resemblance to Friends is obvious. Most the episodes are funny or very funny, but can be pretentious.

See 17 comments...The latest poll in Community Support group has ended, I wanted to quickly comment on it, but it seems the support already closed it. Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone who participated. Bigger number of votes would have given me/us a better picture but still it's good. For me personally the most important result is 22% of the votes on "The website or user app often loads too slowly or has too many bugs". Making the site load faster is now a top-priority thing for next weeks for the tech team. One surprising thing is that no-one voted on "I get far too many notifications". I was suspecting quite a few votes as this is something I would have voted for. Before, we planned on upgrading how notifications are grouped and a few other changes, but thanks to this poll this will surely be postponed now. So yes, every vote counts. Have a good evening.

See 2 comments...After long months I finally tired out "The Crown" (Season 3 and 4) on Netflix. Has anyone seen it? I bet many users did as it's after all a history about our/your beloved Queen. It all got me thinking how this whole monarchy structure even works. As an outsider (to UK) I always thought of the queen as some kind of mascot to England (if I offended anyone here I can call her Latin Fidei Defensor). I read that weakening of British monarchy started with queen Victoria (yet, 18th most popular English person apparently to some poll I forgot). She would show up on TV on some special occasion, like Ascot, sometimes dressed in a funny attire. That was pretty it. And yes, of course unhappy Diana with unhappy Charles - every little kid, even in far depths of Poland knew of this great, great tragedy... Somehow, no-one ever wondered why we even gave a hoot to all this joke. And don't get me wrong, I'm not some revolutionary freak that wants to kill all the aristocracy back in 18th century. It's just that to me the woman does literally nothing, except for owning some land and showing up here and there. I admit, this is a very valuable brand for UK (Elisabethness, Diananess, etc) and I wouldn't get rid of the goose that lays the golden egg. But at least it's given this is all a well-planned theatrical show, isn't? And now back to Netflix - the show on the other hand seems to say that Queen's role in the political landscape really matters. And that's what's struck me the most when watching it. Even as a "consultant" of sorts to the PM she is after all British sovereign - I know - but what does it even mean? It's just a word, because it is OBVIOUS the real sovereign are British people - they can cancel this show in a referendum, any time. So my main question is: is the whole story just super exaggerated or is that 1:1 real? Based on your memories and knowledge.

See 40 comments...As you might have noticed, we introduced a new feature called "Pages". You can see there is a new widget on main page right-hand sidebar called "Suggested Pages to Follow". The feature is still in its infancy, therefore we kind of keep it under the radar for now. What are Pages? Anyone can request to run a page on any subject. Pages are run anonymously. Page can collect followers. Followers will get notification when a page posts something. That's pretty much the summary. If you have any more questions, please ask or simply follow a few pages we have and see for yourself.

See 24 comments...OK, so first I wanted to thank everyone for participating. What we've decided is that we will give the user the option to remove only the contents of the initial post, without destroying the whole discussion (whole thread) - simple as that. Should this happen, the post will read "Content of this post was removed by its author" or something of this sort. On a bit different, more negative note, I wanted to say I will be suspending users who sidetrack the conversation from my group here. I'm sorry, but as much I love to read about your personal disagreements, my primary job is to actually code those things we discuss with my team, not to read into reports. I'm running this group myself to be able to more quickly cut to the chase of the problem, that's all. Either way, I'm hoping I can count on you for next polls to come, and there will be many more interesting ones.

See 15 comments...Hi, we've been seeing some spammers abusing open groups. Just wanted to remind the moderators that `remove user` or `suspend user` options work the same way as in private groups. Meaning, if you remove or suspend the user there is no way they can post again. On this note, maybe we need another group type, i.e. users could view the contents but have to be approved to join? Tell me what you think please.

See 7 comments...As discussed on other occasion and requested by users, we've implemented a few more "improvements" to the blocking feature. Blocking will now pretty much mean to "make myself almost invisible" to the blocked user and vice versa. I don't want to list exactly what we've covered, but it safe to say the blocker should be out of sight of the blocked person, no notifications or comments/posts should be visible for both of them . There is one major exception to this feature, though. If the blocking happens between member and moderator of the same group, they will still see each others posts. It's for the simple fact that if either of them can't stand each other they should not be in the same group. The app will catch up shortly after. I can't really say "happy blocking" but If you do need to block someone and you still think there is something missing, a bug or a glitch, please let us know.
-
See 5 comments...Some changes were introduced to the Follow feature, which are: - You can choose now between private and public type of account (check settings page or Friends/Followers page's sidebar). - Private type of account lets you control your followers list - You can switch between private/public account with no limitation at any time - You can now post to followers only (see main posting form) These changes are still fresh, some glitches might happen. If they do please report. The app will catch up shortly. FYI, improvements for blocking feature are next to happen, hopefully this week.

See 67 comments...Posting this on behalf of the Support team: - a few people recently have asked us to bring back the blocking function in its original form (from like 2-3 ago - some users might still remember it), so we have decided to reimplement it. Hopefully we'll be done this week. - you will be able to manage your followers list, also to happen this week - some aspects of the changes might not be present on the app but it will catch up eventually (usually takes a week) Both changes will give you more control over your Scooploop account. I'm expecting comments to flourish under this thread but SL might not be able to answer till tomorrow.

See 11 comments...We've made some changes to local section. Those include: 1. You can now choose from how far you want to get local post notifications (see Notification Settings). 2. Users often get notifications about local business offers. We consider that mostly spam as it's not how a neighbour would act. That will be limited now, posts from new users will be moderated till they gain some Scooploop reputation (being active in groups, having friends, collecting points for posts is what defines an active user). Little note for businesses: if you do want to tell others about your business on local section, do it like a neighbour would do, make it personal. Otherwise please use business post feature on your business section.

See 10 comments...Anyone finished watching that one? I'm at 4th episode, super curious how the whole story ends. I think Anya Taylor-Joy is a lot of joy in fact, simply brilliant, but it's only my opinion. The actress who plays Harmon in episode 1 (circa 10 yo) - not so much, I can't even be bothered to check her actual name. Too stiff, acts like a robot. The aesthetics of the series reminds me the French movie Amelia, but without the humoristic part. Does anyone remember it? Also a little Polish accent, the Russian chess master is played by famous Polish actor Dorocinski.

There are plenty of usability issues with the latest app, especially in regards to refreshing the contents - I'm very sorry for that. They should be fixed in the next release.
