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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

FYI: I spoke too fast :p
I am unable to bring up links within a post; they just won't connect.

A few people have mentioned they are still having log in problems too.

Thanks for your continued assistance in resolving these glitches!

I'm able to log in ok and post and everything, but this evenng when I went to feed my pets, I was logged out every time I clicked on 'Use this item'. It's funny cos last night I was able to feed them ok. I hope I don't have to do anything and it can be fixed ok as I'm not good with computer stuff.

I can't figure out how to copy and paste the results of my traceroute. It should be simple but my mouse won't highlight the results and I can't manually highlight the results using my keyboard either. :sigh: And I am still having problems after doing all the recommended steps.

Last night I was able to feed pets but could not pull up the links in a thread (like our pet list with the individual links to pets/owners)

Some have mentioned taking out the WWW from the addy; I usually log in without it, but during this bug had only been able to get in by ADDING the WWW or with the proxy.

I seem to be at 100% so far this am.

Hopefully ALL of CF is at 100% soon; many thanks to the techies and Pauler for working on it, and for administrators for communicating progress and hints!

I've been out for a couple of days. I got in by adding the www to the address. Clearing cookies had no effect whatsoever. We'll see how long I can stay in....

Thanks, techies. :)
