Please Note: This thread is a DISCUSSION Thread. There is a strictly Q&A thread about the CF2 Changes here (http://christianforums.com/showthread.php?t=7231670).

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.

This was my first question. I checked the bank since I was due to be able to collect blessing yesterday.


And is there a forum/sub-forum we can use to ask general questions as we try to figure everything out? Or can we just use this thread?

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...:confused:

Chatbox is not active right now. Not all the features are currently added.


:wave: I don't understand why under my title name it says (wash your mouth like about 10 times) That's my first question.

It's the characters in your chatbox, the filter is acting wicky whack. Please edit it. I will give you blessings after to reimburse you.

Site Supporters still have to wait 30 seconds between posts.

This was my first question. I checked the bank since I was due to be able to collect blessing yesterday.

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

On a positive note, I have made some spiritual discovery in the last few days, so please do pray for me as I do need it. Had to confess a really old sin to someone close to me so I could grow spiritually and move forward than to be at a standstill. I wish this site was up during the time of my need.

Not sure, I never posted in Debate, just watch for the next few days and you will find out. There is a time problem where it logs you out every X amount of time, yes its annoying. Tracking post is in your profile under the Statistics Tab!

I really don't care for the dolls, pets, armor and such...too much bells and whistles...I just turn 'em off for MY benefit, and besides, turning them off, helps upload the page a LOT quicker.

I really don't care for the dolls, pets, armor and such...too much bells and whistles...I just turn 'em off for MY benefit, and besides, turning them off, helps upload the page a LOT quicker.

It'll take some getting used to. LOL

I dont' think they have. I don't see any difference.

There are a lot of changes, and it would be unlikely that everything could be covered in a single announcement.
Looks nice, and the simplicity that appears now allows pages to load more quickly. I do have a criticism that I wanted to make known:

The default font color of gray is difficult to read.
Please, change the default font to a black color (as it was before) to enhance contrast and make the posts easier to read. (the above contains the color=black to preview how this should look)

That's all!
Thanks,
Victor

It's nice to be back. But with everything just one big jumble of information on the screen, BAM everything at once, it's not super enjoyable just yet. I'm sure that will be rectified..

I noticed the sub-forums in Life Stages were all appearing together as if they were all main forums (I could see the Teen section, then "guys, gals" forums under it, but they didn't seem to be identified as subforums)

Forums have been rearranged. I don't think subforums really exists now.

That's one of those defaults that will surely be fixed and adjusted shortly...

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. Your pet is still in the database and NOT dead! It will take a few weeks but all pets will be recreated to their last settings...it's a virtual pet...and sometimes software just doesn't jive together well...
Your pet is in "suspended animation" not dead.

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

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

Can anyone tell me what the stars are for/mean? I can't seem to find that out??

Thank you for getting CF back online, I'll get used to where everything is, I just wished it didn't use grey as the font colour , as I can find that hard to read without causing headaches.

Stars = Reps

Not working for me....:scratch: Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Hmm..It worked fine for me, maybe another glitch.

But where do we go to buy things?

Armory isn't live yet. When it is you can get the items there.

No. lol...don't worry Ty, they are just not put back yet, they wanted to let us in,
as soon as possible I believe, so I guess they had a choice to keep the site shut down
until everything was back or let us in and let us mosey around and get
familiarized while they finished.

(I'm personally glad they chose option B and let us in. Woot!)
There's a lot to get familiar with. I am remaining optimistic! :thumbsup:

If you follow this link, someone was kind enough to reiterate info
given through the thread for helping some to get their pets sooner.

Oh, no. I think he's busy doing crafts... making those "fake nose and bushy eyebrows" glasses you see so much of these days.

I can accept that. He makes me those fake nose and busy eyebrow glasses all the time. He's good, you know. He could go into business easily.

Welcome back, Sacred and everyone else! It has been boring in cyberspace without CF!

Thanks for the work, techies. As an IT guy, I can appreciate the work it takes to upgrade a site like this.

The new format will take a bit of getting used to on my side, but it looks fine to me :)

I don't think it's up and running yet, but once it is, go to your User CP and click on "Edit Avatar."

You can now have either an avatar or a CFC, but not both. The good news is that you can choose not only a CFC, but a number of other characters to dress up. In addition, there is NO LIMIT to the number of items you can equip.

Yes, you read that right.

No no no, don't cry... I didn't mean "murdered", I meant "sent to a lovely bot-retirement facility where he can frolic in the flowers and green grass".

I hope it didn't happen cause he couldn't find a girlbot way back at Valentine's! That would be so sad.....Poor Bot!

I don't know much about the bank system. I will give ya an answer when I get one!
Richard, thank you for checking into banking matters. I do not like the idea of paying 2% to transfer blessings from "checking" to "savings"; and the 3.5% interest/month gives less of a return than the 1% interest/week than we were previously allowed. :( While you're looking into banking things, can you find out if the interest will be paid automatically, or will we still have to go to collect it?

The big question I have is what will happen to any blessings over 10,000 that I already have in "savings"? Will I have to move them to "checking" to keep from losing them?

Also, will we be able to bless others with armory items and/or blessings?


Thanks for indulging questions. :hug:

Blessing someone question....I figured out how to bless someone, but couldn't figure out how to do it anonymously...I just left the comment blank. Does that make it go thru anonymously? Will we be able to bless items from the armory, once it is back up? Also....noticed something about a 5.0% fee....for blessing someone....what's up with that?

Not sure about blessing people with other items. However, you will keep ALL your blessings even if you had over 10,000. If you are overly-cautious, just move them out of the bank.

Your blessings already banked will remain.

We still have a few things to work out with the banking system so it's not definite yet.

Huh. Looks wise, its like going from Jessica Simpson to Yoko Ono.
thanks for the Frequent updates..this place is bit more streamlined than the old one...and it'll take some time to find my way around, just like I used to do when I first joined 5 years ago...(egads...how'd 5 years go by so FAST..???? yikes)

Not being one who cares much for Reps or Pets or other assorted bling, my only request would be to make the text in the posts actually black (or at least a dark grey.)

And thanks to all for the hard work you've put in. Definitely an Excedrin Headache #1 undertaking!
