An update of where we are at in restoring CF to its former features...

PLEASE CHECK THIS FIRST POST FOR UPDATES...

A most people may know, CF suffered a database crash a week ago, where we lost 2 months worth of data, and most of our special features.

I am slowly restoring these features back to CF. It takes time, but slowly and steadily, I am bringing back the features:

Features that are back:

Our forum layout, colors, and style
WYSIWYG interface - much improved

Age, Gender, Country Flag
Voice/ Sound File

Mood
Guestbook/ User Comments
Blessings!
Chatbox (the real one!)
Latest Discussion on homepage

The /me code is back!!!

New Features:

ChristianRPG.com forums
Reputation system
IRC Chat Channel

Features that may not come back:

Quizzes
Arcade Games
Multiplayer Chess
Armor of God
User Map

CF Store (depends... not sure yet)

This post is to keep members updated.

Username Colors

Good work Erwin, however I like my username the way it appeared before you implemented this, I accidentally clicked glow and now my name is all mesed up, it defaults to red backgound. I cannot restore it.

Can you add white to the glow option and a option to not have any glow or shadow?

Pleeeeeeaaaasssseeee.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can choose not to have glow by choosing the "blank".

 

[OldBadfish]

Blank defaults to red Erwin, look at my name!! LOL I don't like that, I want it back to the way it was, but that font is gone and I can't unchoose glow.

Glow is checked, but everything else is blank and this is what it looks like, thats why i asked about white being put in or an option to use NO effects.

If you can't thats cool, maybe you can reset my glow option? Or heck I don't know, I'll improvise if I have to.

good job Erwin!

Nice work Erwin.

 

[OldBadfish]

That ain't too bad, but blank defaults to "red" Erwin, just thought I would let you know.

 

[WesleyJohn]

I'm torn...

On the one hand, I want to be the last one to put any pressure on Erwin.

On the other hand, I'm afraid that if none of us say that we really hope games and quizzes return, that Erwin might think that nobody cares.



/me thinks that Erwin does a great job...whether games and quizzes return or not.



/me hopes that someday the games and quizzes might return.

Thanks!

Erwin you so rock!

I know I miss the games too, I spent a lot of time working for those high scores, but maybe it's better that he doesn't, I don't know.

I agonize over the months I struggled with Squid hunter and 3D ball and Pong, and Snowboarding,

 

[dreamcatcher]

well, i hate to lose the arcade and quizzes BUT at least a majority of the old style site will be coming back.

you are doing a great job Erwin.we appreciate all your hard work.

Thank You very much.

 

[OldBadfish]

Yes, it is appreciated Erwin. Are you going to list the site supporters?

I know it was hard on Erwin to lose all that data, man this place had everything but food!

i agree with you Badfish, this site did have everything but food. but i think in time, it will be back around where it was at.

I hadn't thought of it like that, but you're right. LOL.
Name looks nice, bro.

 

[Noddingdog]

Alriiiight, way to go Erwin!!! You're doing a great job, please keep it up!

 

[Yahweh Nissi]

Thanks for all the work you are doing Erwin, it is really appreciated

As said by others, I would value the games and quizes returning, but they are just nice extras. The site is great anyway so do not worry in the slightest if bringing them back is not fesable.

 

[ukok]

I don't mind the games not being here nor the quizzes, i wasn't that good at either of them anyway. Continued thanks for all that you are doing Erwin.

Update: We have our color scheme back! Enjoy! Isn't it so much better!
