• 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.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A guest cannot see who is online. BUT!!

A guest can click on View Forum Leaders and be taken here:
http://christianforums.com/showgroups.php?

A guest can click on any staff members name and see: Visitor Messages/About Me/Statistics/Friends/Contact Info

All the information is viewable to GUESTS!! Including contact information, and Find All Posts, Find All Threads, etc.

Further, on the About Me page, a guest sees every profile option associated with the staff, including whether or not staff is a member of BethMiglat (?), a Pet Rescuer, their Bank totals, as well as the old job titles (by file name).

With the previous version we had an option to keep and/all of this information completely private from all guests and some also private from members. This option quoted here (which would likely be UserCP rather than homepage) is no longer available. Why?
Allow Guests to view your MyForu.ms Homepage?

This needs to be fixed so that all members can set their profiles to private and the erroneous information deleted from view and certainly from Guests.
