• 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.

Is it possible to get our old messages back?

I've come back onto the forums after one of the admins kindly showed me how to log back in (I was having problems after the upgrade).

All seems to be working, but blimey it does look a lot different!

I was going to look at some of the recent messages I've posted, but there doesn't seem to be any history that I can trace. It is as if I am a brand new user?

Look under your profile under the latest activity and postings tab. They should be there. Click on show older items and see if Monday appears and earlier messages.

looks like my posts were removed also, except for some that were discussions with admins about things.
I'll probably find them eventually. Still trying to find my way around the new format!

Regrettably, it said there are no more items to show.

Though some people can see their posts back to 2005, so perhaps some subforms got renamed or deleted or something. Who can say?

You probably found it, but just in case, you click on your username at top right and then in the drop down you click next on the mail/envelope icon. Then after it tells you you have no recent conversations, you click "show all" to see older ones.

I checked today, and noticed that gap between 2011 and the present was filled in. So this issue is fixed for me anyway. Thanks.
Yes we got it all sorted!
