.... is going on with the look of the forum?

I hope this is a temporary glitch. A momentary lapse of reason.

Good News

Just opened this thread and realized it wasn't a problem with my iPad!

Hoopla have now re-introduced the number of "views" for each thread as well as the number of "replies".

We used to have the number of "views" some years back. I'm not sure if they disappeared  when Hoopla took over.

I see that Don,  but they've done a lousy job on space mngt & the title font size is far too big.

I initially thought I'd got the sizing wrong on my MacBook Pro but maybe Hoopla is trying to be helpful to those of us above a certain age who need reading glasses.

I agree that the appalling font size for topic headings is a nightmare. I don't know who Hoopla's Presentation-Designer is, but IMHO they should be sacked !

It's 23:13 UTC on a Friday night and there are only 17 visitors on this site.

What have Hoopla done ?

I've never known this few visitors. Even when I am in Canada, and pop in at (say) 20:00 hrs BC Time (Pacific ?) ie when it's 04:00 UTC (ie 04:00 GMT, Zulu or whatever 4 o'clock in the morning in the UK) there are over a hundred visitors including about 50 or 60 members.

What has happened ? Surely the oversized BOLD PRINT hasn't been THAT bad ??

I think the website font size is to make up for the font size in the new naim app, it all balances out.

Seems alright now..

Yea   ............   dey fix'um good

Thanks Hoop.la  ............. or however you are

I think it was an obvious distraction to used to divert our attention from a deeper, more sinister change.

Subliminal ads for Muso or Qb?

Or even worse - Super Lumina

Well, that explains my recent predilection to drink when I log in and my prudence to avoid the forum before 6 PM - at least on weekdays. All bets are off for the weekend!

I've just noticed that each thread now shows the number of views. At least, I don't recall it being there previously on this new format. 

Posted on: 20 February 2016 by joerand

I've just noticed that the "Nice Photos" topic has over 577,500 views. Amazing!

A credit to the gifted photographers here.

And there's a little green dot to show whether an OP is online or not.

And in the process adds a line of text to each thread title block which makes it bigger so that fewer are visible on a screen view.

Rather silly really.

Well, as many of you guessed, Hoop La had an update yesterday. A couple of technical hitches ensued, but hopefully all is now well.

The option to show page views was added as part of the update so I decided to give it a try.

Posted on: 20 February 2016 by Mike-B

...........  not sure the point of page views TBH,  sort of irrelevant really.  It wouldn't be so bad if it fitted on an existing line & did not take up the space.    

Posted on: 20 February 2016 by Harry

We could do with some user configuration tools.
