Welcome to CF2

[Lady Bug]

yikes. why on earth do I have to use the horizontal scroll bar to look at everything?

 

[Richard]

Is anyone else having trouble with this site taking so long to download?

I'll give it a chance, but to be honest.....my first impression is not favorable at all.....this site looks so antiquated, compared to the old CF. Where are the pets, bank, jobs, armory, and customizer? Oh and the new smiles...

CF Just came back up its flooding with people right now

Why exactly can't non-Christians post on the Teens board anymore? Is there a reason for that that doesn't involve discrimination?

Can we access them yet or have I missed something?

Quote from Announcement above...

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."

More details i'm sure are to come later on. If not you may PM .Elle. or Squeak who are the Teen Admins and they might be able to tell you more.

Pets and dolls are coming shortly...they're finalizing some of the import
they are free so you can restock as needed for the first few weeks

blessings and such will be taken care of shortly...

as for the user title, I ahven't a clue what set off the filter, as I dont' know what it said before the upgrade

 

[SparkyMaddie]

Thank you Richard,I have plenty of blessings,I don't need any. I will go edit.

It's just for now, there seems to be a "Word Wrap" Issue. Please be patient as the site just came up.

You can ask here I will be here for awhile.

Will the benefits that Site Supporters have come back, like being able to post quicker than every 30 seconds?

 

[RockingJesusChicken]

What about our characters? What about our reputation points? What about the quizzes, pets, arcade, and blogs? WHy does it cost us to reply to messages and to send messages?

 

[Tmac1818]

Alright, all of the pets were deleted after the people wworking on it specifically promised me that this wouldnt happen. My faith in CF is broken. I am leaving.

I would think so. We just got the site back up.

 

[Lisa0315]

I do not like it, Sam I Am.

Hopefully, we will get used to it and it really is better, but right now, I do not like it at all!

 

[D'Ann]

Oh my... not sure what I think yet. Interesting...

Ummm... hemmmmm... not sure yet.

Will the reputation numbers be restored at some point?

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.

Hi, first of all, where is the Chatbox? Does it not exist anymore? Can non Christians not post in the Teens forum anymore? Is the IRC officially gone? Can I have a link to the new GA forum?

Thanks! Congratulations on the new CF, however I wish it wasn't built so much like IIDB. (The infamous atheist forum)

 

[SparkyMaddie]

yay it worked,thanking you Richard..
God bless,I'm going to see if any buddies are on.

I'm a site supporter and getting 30 sec rule on here and you can't rep like you should

 

[D'Ann]

I want my rep back and I'm not sure about my avatar being in the place of where my dollie use to be. LOL ... ummmm hemmmm... interesting.

 

[MMXII]

I would think so. We just got the site back up.

Thanks Richard. Looks like tag...you're it. Good luck with all the questions.

 

[Everlasting33]

I like the old look...what about our characters?

 

[Richard]

What about our characters? What about our reputation points? What about the quizzes, pets, arcade, and blogs? WHy does it cost us to reply to messages and to send messages?

Characters, Reps, Quizzes, pets, Arcade, Blog, etc will be added back shortly. The site isn't swinging at 100% capacity with the features. Please be patient with our techs

Alright, all of the pets were deleted after the people wworking on it specifically promised me that this wouldnt happen. My faith in CF is broken. I am leaving.

The Pets System will be added later. Please be patient.

That was happening to me at first too....now it seems to be loading better, although still slower than usual.
