• 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.

Any my personal apologies for adding to your burden here - CF issues pale in comparison to the real life issues you've been dealing with.

Ok, if you go see the profile of your friends, in the tab "About Me", you will find the details for each member to be categorized and display different from before...

each entry from your profile can also be edited on-the-fly, it may be even easier for you if you do not like to go in the userCP... visit your own profile, and you will see a little pen beside each profile details.. you double-click each detail to edit them... :)

in the next hours i will try to remedy the problems related to gender, icons etc... this is easy to fix but take time because i only have one keyboard and two hands... so please be patient.

Actually i'm checking a feature that will let you control the search for who you want, like for selecting who can view your personal details and profile... the pages in when you Edit Profile or Edit Options are far from being clear these last days because of obsolete options and remains of the past... i will try to clear that out in the next hours...

i was mourning my godmother in the last 3 days, so i hope you understand that all these things were on stand-by... i'm taking over today and start coding again!

Nex

Sorry for your loss.

First of all, praying for you and your family. :crossrc:

Secondly, thank you for all of the hard work that you have been doing here. I can only half ways imagine what a challenge it must have been and continues to be to work through fixing the bugs as well as the other changes that are still being updated and/or upgraded.

Praying for you and your family in this time of loss Nex. May our Father God strengthen you and give you a sense of comfort and peace in the coming days and weeks.

What I don't like is that I've been a member here for almost 3 years and my standards of privacy on the internet have changed of those three years. I do not like the idea of anyone being able to search my posts and find out the names of my children or others significant to my life or the city in which I live. I've taken on a new member name as a result

I agree with this and ive been stalked and harrassed badly on this forum before. Nothing was ever done about it besides me being told to ignore them. I left for almost 6 months because of it so they could find themselves a new target. After that when I came back I changed everything to hide my posts so i couldnt be searched out on here - i had to change my email adress everything - if this is not reconsidered - i see a lot of good people leaving because some of us value our privacy.

I wonder about privacy on a public messageboard. My opinion is this--if you would rather it not be generally known, don't post it. Cuz, y'know... no matter whether your posts are searchable here, Google'll still find 'em.

There is no privacy on the web. Don't use your real name. Don't use your children's real name. Don't post your real address, and you can even go so far as to not post the name of your city or state. Never post your home phone number. There is no reason that you have to use your children's real names, and the names of their schools, or the name of your work, your position at work, etc., on any website. It just makes no sense to do this. I have learned my lesson, and will not post anything with my real name on it ever again.

If you meet somebody on here that you're sure you can trust, talk to them via your cell phone or your payphone first, before ever giving out a home phone. A home phone can be traced to your address, whereas most wireless phones can be used with some anonimity, depending on your wireless service. The easiest way to talk to somebody though is just to use a messenger like yahoo. You can use a microphone, and your own voice. No need for phone numbers. :)

I am still very sad about losing my html page and think its sad to lose it because of others abusing having the ability to have one - a better choice imo would have been to moderate them properly.
The problem is exactly what you indicate in your post... it would require someone to moderate these elements properly... there is already morethan 150 moderators on this forum, each is occupied with a ton of posts and threads to moderate... too much is not always better than not enough...

this is a community for sharing and communication, not a place where everybody have to control the other... so when we can avoid having to apply control over someone else, we try to... you prefer being just minimized a little in your choices, or you prefer the global control à la Big Brother?!

btw, we may be evaluating the possibility to offer personal pages hosting in the near future, so you would have a complete page editor in html and so on... THIS may be interesting for the ones in need of a real web page.

2- all the Armory content. Will be replaced by the Commerce.. a word that may be more like "21th century" but which was first used to represent the Armory sellers in the 17th ... it will contain more than just some flags and elements...
i thought this was the living avatar thing that exists? :scratch:

i suppose i'm the one who is messed out in his braincells...

the Living Avatars replace the who characters named Dollies.. the system is on test right now, we're closer to it...

the Armory contained elements you were able to buy and give to your friends, and was related to a RPG shop... this is the thing that will be replaced by the Commerce...

i suppose i get it... someone correct me.. lol
