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.
honestly, I like this upgraded layout - we look more legit now.I think the previous site had a fun look and feel to it and the characters added to that a lot for people, plus the pets.
The site as it is now seems like the generic kind with some modifications. I wonder if the owner realizes that this could affect how many people continue to use their site?
The reps dont "add" to your rep total though..
With the new system you get more than 1 blessing per post. I've been getting 10 per post.I seem to be receiving blessings for nothing at all... or they are adding differently???
What fun is an upgrade without a few kinks? Personally I'm giving it a couple weeks for all the problems to be worked out before I start complaining too much. True, the homey feeling of the old CF hasn't applied yet for the new version, but it takes time.
Look at it this way, in a few years when they have to upgrade again, how many of you who are complaining right now, will be asking for it to be changed back to this style? GIVE IT TIME! I understand the frustrations of trying to figure out the new system. I'm confused to. But I feel that those who are working on the upgrade, and trying to tweak out the bugs still need a little more credit than they are recieving.
I've read most of this thread, mainly to keep updated with how things are coming. I am a little surprised to see the same question being asked every 2-3 pages. Yes, there is a lot to read, but going back 10 pages and catching up isn't that hard. And you will probably find the answer to your question in those pages.
I just want to thank those involved with the upgrade for all their hardwork they have put in. Also, thank you for allowing us to come back on here and post, even though things are completely done yet.
Ohhh that's interesting... puts a whole other spin on the jobs & income.With the new system you get more than 1 blessing per post. I've been getting 10 per post.
(No I am not a mod or anything. I asked a similar question last night. At first I thought it was a glitch, but was told it's not.)
Blackie was revived? Can Lil Mis Magic be also?
Members and Staff,
Welcome to CF2.
There are a lot of changes, and it would be unlikely that everything could be covered in a single announcement.
The first thing you'll probably notice is we have a new style. The second being there is a new forum structure. This was done in an attempt at making things a bit easier to navigate. There are a lot of forums on CF, and it can be somewhat intimidating for new members.
Some of the forums are marked as "For Christians." These are forums specifically for Christian fellowship and discussion. Theology (with the exception of Unorthodox Theology), Edification, Ministry, and Teens are currently marked as "For Christians."
The Debate category has also been rearranged. Politics, Ethics/Morality, and Philosophy have been moved to the Society category; Creation vs. Evolution has been moved as a sub-forum of Physical & Life Sciences. General Apologetics and Non-Christian Religion have been moved to the Outreach category.
There will be a new moderation protocol, released shortly. Reports will be closed, but new features installed that allow members to keep track of the status of their reports, as well as mod actions taken against their posts and threads.
There are several new features, some of which are incompatible with old features. The Character items and Pets can be transferred over to the new engine, but everyone is going to have to reacquire their items. For the first month, all pets and characters will be free, so as to allow everyone to rebuild their items.
Chrisbot, unfortunately, was not compatible with the upgrade.
There are a lot of new features, too numerous to go into much depth about them all here. These are a few:
An updated chatbox engine;
"Thank You" notes;
New smilies (in addition to current smileys);
Updated home page profiles;
Extended reputation display;
Photo albums;
Image icons and reorganization of UserCP;
New ranking system (members with the most posts, the most activity, etc);
New pets and character items (in addition to current pets and character items);
Upgraded blogs;
An information portal and site-map (to help with site navigation);
Ability to "tag" a thread, and use thread prefixes;
Drafts (so that you may save a draft post and later return to it).
Some of these are installed already; some will be installed over the next few days. Please report any bugs (in the Report Bugs forum) you come across so the techs have a chance to fix them
If you have questions or need help with something specific, you can contact these staff members and they can help:
Ravenscape and LibertyChic, for questions about the Armory and Character items.
CelticGrace, for questions about the Pets and the new P3TZ engine.
Angeldove97, for questions about the new blogs, photo album, gallery, etc.

THE PETS SYSTEM WILL BE RESTORED.
If you will please send ProfessorMom or GeoCajun a copy of your pet details, with the name of pet, creation date, and pet type - they will restore it in a few days.
That I don't know about. I'm not sure whats going on with the jobs. Also a lot of people have asked questions about the banking. Again, I don't know how that works. I never really used the bank on the old CF and I don't really plan on starting now.Ohhh that's interesting... puts a whole other spin on the jobs & income.
They're probly incorporating incentive to post more?
Nice idea if it's true
How did you get your avatar so big???
