Ha ok.
I didn’t have ads. I have a payed version.
I didn’t know Tapatalk had influence on the forum content. This surely not ok.
Also not ok is the fact there is no open communication to paying members who ask why a feature is taken away.
Not be able to follow Lula on a mobile device is a serious drawback. Posting pictures in a thread via tapatalk is elegant and easy and looks better than the upload via Lula.
Because there is no mobile version of the site, contributing to Lula on a mobile device is cumbersome.
So Jeremy’s answer, why political discussions came back and what his decision ground was, “Just a whim” was basically a pedantic shutting up of a member who actually pays to help the Lula community.
Good work, Lula team.
Anyhow. I have to decide if I’m going to continue putting effort in this sinking ship.
Well, Ivo, if you find your loyalty is more to a device/system than to the website, that hand is yours to play.
For myself, I enjoy LuLa on two supports: my computer at home or my iPad when I'm having lunch somewhere. My cellphone is a device usually off, and reserved for emergencies which I hope not to have to face.
As for "sinking ships": like all websites that depend on public readership, or finance, that's always going to be measured by the particular interest of the person taking part.
No place is better than its content, and insofar as I am concerned, that content lives in three boxes: the freely given advice on matters technical that you can find in the different how-to slots; the pay-for items that hold little to no interest for me (I know what I like in photogaphy and how to do it); the conversational parts. That latter part, the conversation box, to me, provides the greatest pleasure of the three. I get to converse in my own language; I find people I like and grow to respect, and others who drive me crazy because they are clearly beyond redemption and quite incapable of thinking beyond the tribal catechism.
If you want LuLa to change or grow, contribute more material.
