Hi as you can see, I'm new... :-)

[Rainbow7]

Hi Everyone, as you can see I'm new and kinda lost... this site looks so huge. I hope I can find my way around. I was on another forum that I trust and stumbled into here, so I though I'd stop by & say Hello.
I'm a Born again Christian, & baptized 8 years ago... I love our Lord with all that I am, and enjoy fellowship with other Christians that Loves Jesus.
If you have any information to help me find my way around here, I would appreciate it.
I live in Sunny San Diego, Ca, and currently have no other relatives near by, and not many living, so I like the company online.
I go by the name of Rainbow7 because I believe the promises in God's word to be True.

God Bless

Lovingly in Christ

Hi Welcome to the forums
I suggest having a look at the FAQ. It will explain how a lot of the features and things work on CF. Also make sure you read over the forum rules.
As for finding your way around, it can be quite complicated to start with. I suggest just looking through the different forums and finding one you are interested in and posting there for a while.
If you want any help finding forums, or have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
God bless!

take a peek here: FAQ. These FAQs will explain a lot (though not all) of the somewhat confusing things in the eye-feast of overwhelming CF thingies. You probably read the Terms of Service you agreed to when joining, but now might also be a good time to attempt to read the rules listed here: Rules.

You’ll notice we have an Intro Sticky by the lovely AngelAmidala: http://www.christianforums.com/t1110956-please-read-the-rules-before-posting-thanks.html, that most forums have other ‘Sticky’ introductions that can often be important to read before posting in that forum, and that some of the more popular threads have little numbers beside them (like “Welcome to all new members (4)”) which means they’ve been continued in further incarnations after reaching a 1000 post limit for each thread.

Here are just a few forums that might be helpful in starting to explore the place. Just click on the links and find a place you like:

CF Announcements (what’s going on around here, what’s not working and why)
Report Bugs (not the crawly ones, you’re on your on with those)
CF How-To (Mostly technical questions on site usage)
Regional forums – Where ya from?
Congregations – What church ya go to?
Chatting with individual Staff members (usually in informal ways of friendship)
Friendship Court (no pretzelizing allowed)
Face the Board (which is ‘open’ to all members to ask YOU questions)
Recovery (non-professional help with particular life struggles)
Outreach to non-Christians by Christians, seeker prayers and help from Christians, etc.
Edification (Christians Only) Blogs, Prayers, Testimonies, Advice
Help with creating a CF Homepage
How to become a site supporter (and financially help this ministry)
Help with IRC (Internet Relay Chat)

And if you are looking for things to do besides posting, you can ...

Take quizzes: http://www.christianforums.com/quiz.php (costs 10 blessings)
Create a character: http://www.christianforums.com/characters (costs ~150 blessings to begin, but you’ll want to use more to get armor/clothes)
Adopt a pet (and take care of it): http://www.christianforums.com/pets (costs ~700 blessings to start, but more with upkeep)
Create a blog: http://www.christianforums.com/blogs
Participate in polls: http://www.christianforums.com/f4-cf-polls.html
Play games: http://www.christianforums.com/arcade.php (costs 10 blessings for each game)
Create/Develop a homepage: http://www.christianforums.com/f651-...iscussion.html


To see a full list of forums click on "Christian Forums" in upper left hand corner. I hope these links are helpful to you.

The way I found my way around was to bookmark the areas I am interested in. It has worked well for me.

Hi...I love your name.

[move][pong][glow=purple]Hello and Welcome to CF. May God bless your presence here.[/glow][/pong][/move]

I hope you enjoy this site as much as we do!

Navigating is more simple that it looks. Here are some tips that might help, but you can always refer to Frequently asked questions: http://www.christianforums.com/faq.php

The extra features might seem complex when first joining, but they aren’t that difficult. Some members do not become involved with the extra features, but enjoy posting and communicating with others just the same.

Posting:

You can begin posting instantly in the open to all member forums. http://www.christianforums.com/f6

After 15 posts you can post anywhere. You are required to make 5 posts before exchanging personal mail.

Blessings:

Blessings is a form of currency at CF. You can use your blessings to update your free webpage, signature, get a character and armory for your character, give to others, and/or obtain a CF pet.

You can earn blessings the following ways:

1. Becoming a site supporter. http://www.christianforums.com/support
2. For every post you gain one blessing.
3. Referring new members (10 blessings each). http://www.christianforums.com/refer
4. Signing on for a job (there is no work to be done). http://www.christianforums.com/jobs
5. You can obtain/win blessings in the blessing exchange forum. http://www.christianforums.com/f247-blessings-exchange.html
6. And people will give you blessings both randomly and personally as you post. You give blessings by clicking on the heart and cross icon under a member’s user name.
7. You can also obtain interest on your blessings weekly by placing them in the CF bank. http://www.christianforums.com/bankhttp://www.christianforums.com/bank

Be sure to check out the auction for deals on character items if you are interested in obtaining one. http://www.christianforums.com/auction

Reps are given by the thumbs up icon under a member’s user name and are only a confirmation that one person likes what the other person has posted in forums. They are not a tool to gauge popularity (perhaps length of membership in some cases though. ).

If you have other questions feel free to post your questions in the member’s help forum. You will find that the members here at CF are very helpful and kind. http://www.christianforums.com/f681-cf-how-to.html

I'm excited you have joined and welcome again.
