• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Anybody else really dislike this new format?

OK for reasons I don't even know yet, I think I'll grow to like this format. lol. I put it in Dark Mode too and it looks kind of cool that way. There is a busy-ness about the home page though, but the more I look at the modules, they aren't that difficult to learn. At its basic level, there isn't as much of a difference in the overall layout as it seems at first - it's just annoying to acclimate to. I like the new font when we are writing posts - it looks neater.

Edited to add something important: In our Preferences section we can change how we want our home feed to look. If we change it to simply "Forum List," WOW, it looks like the old version almost. There are definitely ways to "trim the fat" when we're looking at CF. Keep your chins up people, there's a way around this.

I also don't get this "cascading leaves" and Pilgrim hats deal. The leaves are irritating, and if I want silly hats on my avatar, I'll put them there myself, thank you very much. :mad:
No kidding me too.

I disabled it too, because I couldn't deal with the leaves always falling. I may check in a couple weeks to see what the Christmas version looks like (it will probably be snowfall) but I'll probably disable that too.

The "falling leaves" feature:
could that become an unintentional trigger to cause seizures in those users who are sensitive?
Has anyone checked?
Why would this cause seizures?

I think because sometimes quickly moving objects such as flashing lights, can cause sensitive people who are epileptic to have seizures.

I like the leaves falling, and I like the hats on us, I think they are cute and cause a festive feeling, but that is just my opinion, I wonder what they will do for Christmas.

Why would this cause seizures?
Some people, if they have a disorder such as epilepsy, could be triggered by the animation; if they aren't expecting it, their brain won't be able to process it and they'll freeze.
