Thanks squiggle.

I'm a bit late to the party, but, Tee Hee, as much as I love you all, (or love to hate some of the few pillocks on here,) why on earth would I pay £15 for the privilidge? I know it's bugga all, (not for everyone tbf,) but, that's not the point. Which of these features could I possibly need on a site that the www can see and I can't control my privacy?

Only one I can think of is pms, but If we want a 'dialog' then we can nip over to fb to do that. Crackers!

LOL..sorry, and I really don't mean to offend, but I can't help myself. Why on earth would you pay good money, (albeit not a lot,) to chat to each other when you can do it elsewhere for free? And, more importantly, privately when you wish?

Oh, and on a different note: hell will freeze over before I have VIP against my name, I loathe elitism in any way, shape or form, even if it only costs 15 quid 

I must admit Supes that that is putting me off too, personally I wouldn't mind chipping in to keep the forum going but I don't fancy having VIP showing next to my name, it feels like us and them and I'm not keen.

My thoughts too, i dont like the VIP either. I dont mind paying, but why not just privately without anything next to our names?? 

Has anyone become a VIP yet?

Yes, Hoochie and Velvet Donkey.

Been a roaring success then

all the Mods are VIPS too. .tho I suspect they got it free cos a Mod needs to be able to PM someone if they are being naughty 

As they became VIPs almost immediately, they were the first names that came to mind....I have seen more! I didn't mention us member moderators as I reckoned Supes and Moonie were more interested in NON moderator members.  

I see there's been a bit of tinkering going on.

We now have a 'BACK TO TOP' button and breadcrums at the bottom of the page of posts in a thread.

Yep! We had a little update. We call it the Nerd Glasses update.

AND the folders have been redesigned!

Could someone please tell me if there is a problem with the Gaga app ? Thank you . 

There have been server problems affecting all Hoop.la sites over the last hour but things seem to be coming back.

The issue was that all .la domains were down due to an issue with that registrar. We still have no idea what happened, since there has been no communication to us, but whatever it was has since been resolved.  The www.la registrar site remains down at this moment.

Is there a problem with GaGa?

I cant get to see if my friends are online by clicking on their names..

A lot of us are having problems posting tonight Moonie.... but I think the name thing maybe a result of the VIP or not thing....

Thanks Baz...I just clicked on several friends and got the following error message...

The page you requested is not available. Reference ID: 299515762027196604[-1432534680][927103460]16.2.b127.87621c1-hp01.ps004

So perhaps GaGa have, as you said, changed things over the last few hours...I know it was okay a few hours ago...

I don't think we can access the members lists anymore Moonie, unless we are VIP's

 everything has sprung back into life Baz 

I'm guessing they've been tinkering then Moonie :hug/

Yep, certainly seems like it  

Sorry, all...we had an issue with our new host. 

We should be completely back to normal, now.

Thanks Lori 

If a thread is locked why keep it stickied?

Presumably so that peeps (especially new ones) read it.

yeah but this thread is called 'new' forum features so any newbies won't know what it was like before. . so why is this still here?

any newbies joining will probably get the info in the locked thread upon joining. . and we get it in that irritating pop up  that occurs every couple of weeks ..

get rid of the unnecessary stickies

Done
