• 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.

CF User Customizer - now using much less blessings!

I've added more options - basically the same options as before the Customizer came into being - and added drop-down menus for font options.

Also, most things are now using only 50 blessings, with discounts for long term users and people who reuse the same options.

Hope you like the new changes - subtle, but took me 4 hours to add these things back!

Can we please have an option for bold font in posts?
There's a good reason why not: an embedded bold post that isn't turned off makes the entire thread from that point on bold, or so I'm given to understand.

I can think of at least three options you could use:
1. Make your default posting font a font that is naturally quite bold, or something like Times New Roman Bold
2. If you're using the WYSIWYG interface for posting, you've got a B in the options at top left. Click on that when beginning typing, again just before hitting "submit" to make the whole post bold.
3. Likewise, if using the WYSIWYG interface, hit Control-B at the beginning and again at the end of typing your post, and the whole thing will be bold.

But I'm curious why you want your whole post to be bolded. Wanna explain?

Because, I like the orange color, but it shows up better when it's bolded.... and I keep forgetting to use the tags.

The suggestion of using times new roman bold works for me though and I'm happy!

Thanks for all the hard work Erwin!

p.s. sleep more!

A thought to consider - we have blind folks in the forums.

I believe BOLD is yelling from their translator.
If you have a problem seeing the better solution is a larger font.

I believe this is a valid enough concern to not allow bolded posts.

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and ask for my 200 blessings I paid to get my glow back. Sorry but I did it before they were given back to all the older folks anyway.

If you don't want to Erwin, don't worry about it. I just thought I'd ask too. ;)

Thank you so much Erwin!!! :clap: :clap: :clap: I feel like my name is mine again!

The customized usernames are like faces in this environment... I think that's why so many of us became upset at the rough equivalent of being forced to wear a mask and only being allowed to take it off if we sacrificed something.

BTW, I "bought" these things before the alterations... I'm not sure how many blessings these took, but I'd really appreciate it if I could have them back. I would have written them off normally, but I need those blessings to feed and entertain my poor, hungry, bored little kitty! :) Thank you!
