• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Does this happen to have anything to do with why there hasn't been much of a turnout on CF these past few weeks? There's only not much more than 1000 users online at any given time, but mostly it's under. Right now, as I post, the number on the top of the screen is 873.

No, this one is real :)

The whole site is being moved on to the new vBulletin Gold, which has just ben released.
So there should be no more of the recent bug problems... plus there are new features to play with.
It will all look very different, and take a bit of getting used to, but I think it will be a great improvement.
If you want a preview, the new software is here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/

This will be tweaked some for CF, but you can see the basic features. :)

I think that user numbers have gone down largely due to the site problems.. people can't be bothered if it takes 10 tries to load each page!
But I hope that people will return once everything is running smothly again. :)

Someone told me we have to choose between our character and avatar? My bunny!
Save The Bunny!:pray:
Yup, I'm afraid this is true.
Real avatars are not to be kept like they are right now, because the LivingAvatar is a merge of the dollies and the avatars. You will have to make a choice between having a dolly or having your own custom avatar.
If you want to have more images that represent yourself you can add some pictures in your Members Album, which has expanded functionality.

As to perks... you can look at the new system here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/

:)
It will take some getting used to, but it's very good!

Oh, it's going to be Internet Infidels's style of forum~I agree with HD. Don't mind a new coat of paint once in a while but I'll miss the old place. I'm at a few other forums and always liked this layout the best.

Need more candy for the customers I suppose...:doh:

Oh. That looks awful. I will miss this look.:(
Believe it or not, I've stayed here thru alot of crap becuz I preferred this layout & format style...

going to those stuffy clostrophobic, funky [drab] colored boards is what I was trying to avoid.
I'll miss this terribly - probly more than anything

More a case of needing something that doesn't fall over every five minutes! :D
:amen: this is too true :swoon:

well we have no choice -- it's a shame they couldn't keep this layout style with the openness - it's also what kept the site unique from all the others.

I'll quit pouting and get over it sometime today.

It is unique~at least I've not stumbled across it anywhere. I'm at BaptistBoards and MennoDiscuss and while great places the layout isn't as nice as this.

Though as Criada says, maybe there is a reason others aren't using this style~can't remember when I've ever had to deal with "bugs" at the other two sites, but then they don't have the traffic of this one either.
