• 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.

I was fiddling with the new website UI and I wanted to share a way to curate or filter the "New Threads Feed." I know there has been interest in this, and so I wanted to share what I found so that others can take advantage of it if they so choose. (If there is a better place for this thread, perhaps a moderator can move it. I wasn't sure where to place it.)

In short, the threads feed allows filtering via the checkboxes in the right column. You can filter according to various criteria, including forum, subforum, unread content, "people you follow," post date, etc.

For example, if you are not Catholic and yet you find "One Bread, One Body" threads filling up your thread feed, you can use <this set of filters> to simply remove all of the OBOB threads from the feed. If you want to remove the "Controversial Christian Theology" threads from your feed you can use <this set of filters>. After you implement a set of filters, you can click the "Save" button to make that your default setting. So if we used the curation which filters out OBOB and then click "Save", then whenever we click Forums->Threads, it will default to that setting.

Note that if you checkmark a forum, it will automatically include all of the subforums within that forum unless you checkmark only a specific subset of the subforums.

Thank you
You're welcome.

Here are a few presets that may be commonly useful:

(Because OBOB has so many new threads per day it is useful to have options which allow the non-OBOB threads to reveal themselves)
