How do you find the interface of the new hub hopper?
Personally, I find that one has to perforce read the entire hub and rate/submit to be able to hop on to the next hub. This basically defeats the purpose and meaning of hub hopping! Of course, the option to use the old hub hopper interface is there. But I wish we had the option to hop hubs while being able to rate the hubs as in this new interface.
I agree, Rajan Jolly. The newer hopper is less user-friendly than the old system.
I thought that I was the only one who felt that way. It's good to know that I am not alone.
I also agree that the newer hopper is less user friendly, especially in regards to the fact that you are forced to read a hub that's not even on a topic that interests you, or else totally leave the hopper or choose to use the old version.
I have yet to see a comment where any Hubber likes the new interface. Personally, I *really* dislike the new interface and always switch to the old hopper. The new one just doesn't work. There are a few recent changes that I find odd, such as the fact that when you answer a question with a hub, the hub no longer says that it's an answer and no longer links to the question :-( Also, with the new profiles (which I *do* like, I can't find the option to email a hubber anymore. Strange. I hope that HP will tweak these things to make them useful again. Until then, old hopper and notes via comments (hope everyone has their comments section set to screen comments before posting!).
You can email the hubber by clicking on their "Fan Mail." There is an option in "Fan Mail" for emailing hubbers.
I too, have been wondering what happened to the option to email other hubbers. Haven't seen it on the profile page or within the hubs themselves.
I don't like it either, rajan. Some of the hubs I have to read in the hopper, I wouldn't normally read on my own. So I do my own hub hopping by clicking on different profiles of hubbers and topics that interest me.
Like so many others I prefer the 'old' hub hopper. It gives more choices as to voting and rating the hub. The 'new' hub hopper seems so sterile.

I'm curious as to whether there has been a decrease in hubbers using the hub hopper to rate hubs. I just have a feeling there is because my hub scores haven't been fluctuating as much (which is fine with me). Overall, I'm wondering if there's been a bit of a slow down in hub QAP due to...

Is there anyone who LIKES the new hub hopper? I don't think I've seen one positive comment about it.

I just started noticing the Hub Hopper and have tried it three times now. So reading the FAQ's I found that Hopper's can influence your score. I know, we should not be obsessed with The Score, but....I can't help it. I think they give you test hubs to access your scoring and then they give you real...

I'm fairy new to Hub Pages, but one of the things I really enjoy is reading through the Hub Hopper - you never know what topic is going to pop out at you OR how good or bad the next article will be, ha! But some of the really good ones could be even better with some good writer-to-writer feedback....

Would any of you suggest 'reporting' an obvious newbie who has obviously not read anything of the rules and protocols here, whose profile includes no bio and indicates having joined but 2 hours prior, and whose portfolio includes but a single, very short and very poorly written hub?I'm not even...

There is a new Hub Hopper that is available today. I've posted some details about it on the blog and set this thread up to discuss it and to get feedback. *Note, the Hopper is only collecting data right now, but will soon be used to select Hubs to feature.
