I've just signed up for WW online and it's different, last time (5 years ago) it was propoints and it worked well for me, what is the difference?

Smartpoints seems to take into account sugar content and nutritional value? (I think). Pretty much all fruit and veg is O smart points. Processed foods seem to have higher points.

Sounds similar then. I think propoints measured carbs and protein.

I don't know for a fact but smartpoints seems to reward healthy eating and discourage processed unhealthy foods. Which is good unless you are having one of those days where you just need chocolate!

Main difference is the sugar. Smart points still look at protein and saturated fat, but it also takes sugar into the equation. Lots of the sweet treats I used to like we're 2 or 3 pro points. They doubled with smart points. It took a bit of getting used to but I prefer smart points now.
