Welcome to CF2 (The saga continues, the legend is born)

[FriendsFellowship]

We are less than a week into this, the main tech guy experienced the death of a close family friend and all you can think of is complaining.

If that is what you think the Christian thing to do is, then I feel really sorry for you.


Of course a surefire way to fan the flames to to complain about the complaining! :)

No one here is personally attacking the 'tech guy', especially at this difficult time, however, I think we should have the grace to allow people to express their frustrations over a particular issue. Some people feel very strongly about this, we shouldn't invalidate their frustrations.

[Lindon Tinuviel]

Everybody's a little stressed right now. The unknown is a worrisome thing, but we'll get through it--just like we always do. Let's not go for each others' throats just yet. There'll be plenty of time for that later.

LOL, spoken like someone who spends too much time at CF! :D

[Sophrosyne]

I lost my dad to cancer and still worked because I could not afford to take unpaid leave. It is part of life to have people die, I am sorry his friend died but that doesn't mean the dozens of people on CF that are thrown off here when being ministered to should have to suffer too. I have had people PM me upset because they were helping others out and the place kept crashing on them. I cannot say the tech's suffering is negligible but what about the dozens of others here thrown out without any explanation? do they deserve that night after night? should we abandon them and accept it while praising those doing such things? Think about such things
where is the sympathy for others...... unChristlike? I think not.

[GodrockDJ]

I haven't read through the hundreds of pages and thousands of responses. But I wanted to say 3 main points -

- The new board style/design looks great! A thousand times more professional. As CF hopes to attract users of all ages this is a very relevant point. This includes the way user names were displayed and the million little icons a user could have above their posts. I loved the individual designs of the previous CF as much as anyone else, but all the buttons at the top, and text links, and mismatched stuff was not working for a site of our size
- As an IT person with an IT husband, thanks for all your hard work!
- I'm sure there will be bumps in the transition. There always are. I hope I can be patient as a user of the site while navigating them

:thumbsup:

TARDIS :)
It's bigger on the inside than the outside.

I think I have said enough for awhile.... I will say the squeaky wheel gets the grease so complain now or forever whine in silence when things you want don't happen the way you think they should.

The Ignore feature cannot peacefully co-exist with the Quote feature... as such, I never use it, either.

I don't think anyone is "praising someone for throwing people off the site".

I do think we are acknowledging that a lot has been accomplished in a short period of time, that we have been told upfront that there is still a lot of work to do and that we have been asked to be patient. Maybe we should just ask to have the site shut down for the rest of the time it takes to complete the upgrade and additions if people can't understand the problems of posting on the site when all the bugs aren't worked out.

[A New Dawn]

Whazzup with the phone booth at Stone Henge ?

OHHHHH! If you have never been introduced to Dr. Who before, let me take this opportunity to introduce you to him/them.

Go to this site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who) and scroll down about half way to "meet" the doctors.

The blue police box (not phone booth) is the TARDIS (the Doctor's space ship). It stands for Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. It is bigger inside than out and travels through time and space.

It is the longest running television show. 27 years in the original series and 4 years since it has been restarted.

[drstevej]

Never been a Dr Who watcher. I know, shame on me.

[Sophrosyne]

they quit showing it on PBS here (public broadcasting system) long ago. I don't have the sci fi channel so I cannot see it. I used to love the eerie theme song and the daleks and etc. Was a fun series to watch even though the effects were kinda cheesy, like star trek (original) the stories made up for it more than enough I think.

Yeah, the old shows were pretty cheesy in places, but the new ones only have a tad of cheesiness in them. But it is required.

They are on the internet (youtube) BTW, for everyone who doesn't get the scifi channel.

[Artificial Intelligence]

MnPhysicist's Anouncement from April 6th this year...

"
First, we had a major database crash, compounded with some issues with the datacenter and server. That was rebuilt, albeit the time stamps are likely still messed up, and likely will be that way until CF is upgraded.

Going forward, CF has been replicated on a second system, including a copy of the database. That is being used as test bed, as well as a dry run for the upgrade. Rather than the original plan of migrate and tweak, Lee made a call to do it carefully, rather than rush and chase bugs for months

In addition, we did discuss bringing the site offline, but the call was made to keep it up, even if its hard to use.

Lee is doing a lot of work behind the scenes. Beyond the 3 server guys we had in the past, Lee has 2 more guys on it. He also has added more tech staff to assist with the upgrade. Oh ok, that answers my question about developing on a separate server, but it still seems strange that such bugs are making it to the live server. I assume they decided to move release forward due to the db crash, but after the db crash and before the upgrade, the board was usable... for what, a week or two?

With like 5 devs, even if one is missing for personal issues, it shouldn't cause that much trouble, what's the excuse for the other 4? And someone mentioned that they don't get paid so that is an excuse(?), but it shouldn't matter if they get paid or not, unless that is meant that they are so unexperienced that they couldn't earn a wage in this field even if they wanted to, but I thought LeeD was a professional website developer so inexperience never crossed my mind.


Last year there were 2-3 times as many online here with everything working That's not much to do with the stability of the forum site, but had to do with the stability of the purpose of the site. Many Christians were scared away when it was decided to drop CF in favor for a regular community site, and many never returned even after being regular members for years. So instead of peaking 2500 regularly, it's like 1200, so about half the traffic now. Some of the regular boards here are still dead, where once they had lots of Christians posting all the time in their community groups, even though the site has inched it's way back to being as it once was in purpose, a little. These changes happened over a long time though, it was just the straw that broke the camels back, and a partial return to how it once was long ago hasn't helped all that much as far as participation goes. So no, not really due to system stability issues, we have endured that for years.

We are on the 10th Doctor now. 1st thru 7th in the old series, 8th was a movie made in the USA that the BBC gave them the rights to make, and 9th and 10th in the new series. 31 years of Dr. Who.

they already have threads where they took the questions most asked and linked to them. the problem that happened with this thread was even at the start people repeatedly asked the same dozen questions and they were answered by many mods/techs in many ways. If someone comes in to ask a question usually someone answers is pretty quick or gives a link to the answer even if you removed the non sequitor posts you would still have to sift through 1500 posts to find things...

yup.. not to mention sometimes folks will hop on and talk more about issues when they see conversation instead of just questions with seemingly nobody there. I hate it when I call for help and get menus of answers I have to spend 5 minutes wading through instead of a real person because a lot of the time my question(s) don't match any answers they have.

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.
That is only the topical title, not the context of the topic. How do sci-fi shows fit into the topic??? Geez *unsubscribes*

I do not see the drop down box to change the skin. Does anyone else see it? It is supposed to be at the bottom of every page.

I'm using the white one.

[FriendsFellowship]

I don't have a drop box either! :(

[Lindon Tinuviel]

Change it in your UserCP for now... maybe they haven't added the dropdown box to the pages yet.

Whoa! That's much better! :)

[A New Dawn]

I had to go to edit options on the CP to change it.

[FriendsFellowship]

That 'White Sky' theme is soooo much better than the default!

If you don't mind blue of course! :)

It's not a bug. this is a fluid style (adapts to the size of your screen) and the default one is not a fluid style. People like each one for different reasons.

I'm going to speak up for one more thing regarding the off topic posts, and then just unsubscribe from the thread.

There is an Announcement link at the top of everyone's page, at the top of every forum, telling people to be sure to read the Welcome to CF2 thread for important information. It is completely natural for people returning to CF to, I dunno, click that link to find important information. That first thread, which was closed at 2,000 posts, links to this thread.

It seems really inconsiderate to keep on with the off-topic posts as long as that announcement is posted. Either the announcement should link to the Q&A thread, or the moderators should keep this thread on topic.

I think it could actually be done manually,

Snap a shot of your avitar without a background and then paste it over a background of your choosing and correct size and upload it as a custom one. Might take a bit of work with PSP or another good tool but should work.

customizing your fonts in posts, short term, like when we finish testing the database and all our processes are safe.. each addon we connect to the site is now tested to save us from bugs.

who's online is locked down and active only for staff... the permission was opened lately to make some tests, but now it is down... ;)

ho's online is locked down and active only for staff... the permission was opened lately to make some tests, but now it is down... ;)yay i'm glad of that :thumbsup: thanks for locking it back down again

i'm not sure of your answer to the other question; but my question might have been confusing :D we used to be able to say set that i want all my posts from now on to be in purple, rather than having to highlight and select purple each time i post - is that a feature that will be added on again later?

[Lisa0315]

Yeah, sometimes a thread turns into somthing else. This one has turned into a discussion about the changes, not so much about getting answers. It will likely become something of an infinite fellowhsip thread. To expect otherwise is unrealistic.

Ok whats up with the blessings? Why are we limited as to how many times we decide to donate them to the same person?

This I really want to know before I renew my site supporter . I am a little upset about this one. Does anyone know?

[SunMessenger]

http://www3.christianforums.com/images/icons/icon8.gif Wow!
The two big recreation features here are reps and blessings. Both are being limited now.

We are now restricted from donating blessings to others repetitively. It stops the transaction and states that.

Ahem...

They are my blessings to donate how I choose!

Ahem...

Also these are my reputation points to donate how I choose!

Somebody wake up and fix this please...Ok whats up with the blessings? Why are we limited as to how many times we decide to donate them to the same person?

:( I am trying to understand the why's for all these changes..
I'm so tired of the edit feature on our " living" avatars,I gave up. I had my mouth above my eyes for too long and couldn't move it so I've gone back to a nice,safe avatar!

[WhiteWillow]

yes,and my reputation has gone up 1 point after many reps. ok,nice way to give back. some reps do not matter?

I don't know if these two questions have been answered in previous post, so my apologies if they have.

1. Is the "back to top" arrow at the bottom of the page coming back?

2. The picture in my siggiie isn't loading properly. Bug? Or, do I have to re-load it in again?

[bill16652]

Is the bamnk fixed and if so where is it? I see we can buy blessings but cant see a bank to put mine in for some reason, also is rep close to being fixed?

1. I'm not sure about the arrow. But did you know that the "Home" key on your keyboard will return you to the top of the page no matter where on the page you've reached?

2. I think the image bugs have been fixed, so I would try loading the image again.

Is the bamnk fixed and if so where is it? I see we can buy blessings but cant see a bank to put mine in for some reason, also is rep close to being fixed?
The bank is partially fixed. We can bless people again, but we can't deposit our on-hand blessings into the bank yet. I'm not sure how close rep is to being fixed. It sounds like a two-part process. Some of the old functionality involves configuration of the base system, and some of the old functionality involves modifying the code. The configuration will probably happen before the code-work does. No estimated time of arrival on this, as far as I know.

[SunMessenger]

It's clear everyone is too busy to answer except God. I will pray about it. By the time I come back tomorrow I won't even find these posts. So sad. This place has lots of nice new features too. Unsubscribing to this thread...

:sorry:http://www3.christianforums.com/images/icons/icon8.gif Wow!
The two big recreation features here are reps and blessings. Both are being limited now.

We are now restricted from donating blessings to others repetitively. It stops the transaction and states that.

Ahem...

They are my blessings to donate how I choose!

Ahem...

Also these are my reputation points to donate how I choose!

Somebody wake up and fix this please...

Ok whats up with the blessings? Why are we limited as to how many times we decide to donate them to the same person?

This I really want to know before I renew my site supporter . I am a little upset about this one. Does anyone know?

As I posted above, the bank functionality is still in progress. I don't know what the final configuration of the system will be. But, I don't see why the system would be configured to stop repetitive transactions as the final solution. I'll try to find an answer on this. You're the first who has mentioned that banking transactions don't permit re-blessing people repetitively.

[AniGequoti]

I'm wondering about that too.

[ravenscape]

We don't have an ETA on that yet. However, Nexia has stated rep will be restored to the way it worked before. (http://christianforums.com/showpost.php?p=46910280&postcount=90)

It's just a question of time and priorities. We have some issues that affect some people's ability to use the forum at all normally, and generally those kind of problems will be a higher priority than reconfiguring the features and fun stuff.

[AniGequoti]

Understood. :)

[Lindon Tinuviel]

Good idea! I've added a note about the Q&A thread to the OP of both this thread and the original announcement thread.

It was all Snooch's idea.

Jobs aren't added yet, but they will be added back soon. No specific eta, to my knowledge.

[ravenscape]

I don't know. There was a 5000 blessing adjustment for all the early troubles with the bank. There may be something similar with the interest, but I haven't heard.

I don't know. There was a 5000 blessing adjustment for all the early troubles with the bank. There may be something similar with the interest, but I haven't heard.Just curious as I lose 1000 blessings a week in job and around 19,000 a week in bamk interest and I am sure that there are others even higher than me.

[ravenscape]

You got me beat. 850 a week in job and 11,000 a week in blessings (but two of the accounts I collect for are "endowments", not my own.

[bill16652]

lol Raven, never even heard of endowments:)

[ravenscape]

lol Raven, never even heard of endowments:)
Several people have given me piles of blessings over the years with the understanding I'd spread 'em around when they're needed, and use them for special games. There's usually a guessing game on when CF will come back up after an upgrade, but we didn't have time to organize one this month - CF was back too quickly!

We don't yet.

Ok, just a couple of questions...
1) How do you report a post? I know earlier there was a button to click to report it, but I can't find it anymore. (Don't want to report anyone, just something that I noticed.) Was there a bug with it or something?
2) Is there any word yet on when the pets will be back? Doesn't really matter to me how long it takes. Just wondering if there's any idea yet. I've looked around in other threads about the update, but wasn't able to find anything.

Thank you! Also, thank you for the new skins! The original wasn't giving me a headache or anything, I just prefer darker colors. THANK YOU!

Appreciate all the hard work that is going into this upgrade. It looks great!

Not a bug, but a huge amount of configuration/coding to make reports work correctly behind the scenes - notify the right mods, wind up in the right forum, etc. Reports are temporarily turned off while all that gets worked out. In the meanwhile if you see a bad post, PM a mod listed at the bottom of the forum where the post was made. The mods are out there in the forums, reading threads instead of spending the huge amounts of time that the report forums take. They're catching a lot, but it's a huge task and if you see something bad, no harm in a heads-up.

I need to ask everyone to take a breath and calm down just a bit. We're all impatient, and wanna be there now, including me. But,
that's not how reality works. It's taking time to get every bell and whistle configured, working right, and the whole shebang working reliably.

Please don't take it out on each other. Be patient. Hug a tree. Plant a flower. Hug your mom. Enjoy a beautiful day outdoors.

Thanks,

Posted this in another thread, but wanted to ask it here as well...

Does anyone know what they were fixing this morning? Tried logging on earlier and got a message that CF was down for some repairs...

Now that I'm back on, everything is changed. The forums aren't in the nice column lists like before... Also, it doesn't show my reps/blessings and all the stuff at the top of the page. It just shows the PM information...

Wonder whats going on...

[ravenscape]

I understand that one of the hard drives filled up unexpectedly this morning, which caused the outage. I'm not sure specifically what they're working on today, but I see some minor display things like blessings and reps given are missing at the moment.

[ravenscape]

It looks like a bunch of plug-ins are offline or not working properly since that hard drive filled up: characters, bank, blogs, etc. I think we just need to give the tech folks time to work through this so they can get the site back to where it was before the crash.

I ended up with about 2.8 million extra blessings... if they want me to keep them that is fine but I seriously doubt that will be acceptable.

well if you don't have inf blessings you are probably embarassed about them now right? LOL

[sk8Joyful]

It's been reported.... hopefully will be fixed asap.
Thank you all for your patience... I know today has been a pain in the proverbial... but we *will* get there in the end.

And we can still post and talk to one another, which is the main thing!

Remember you said yesterday: re: some people's "PICTURE-bug" ^_^ - Gonna
find out :thumbsup: how that can be resolved.

What did you discover?? :P pray tell... ;) Thanks, Annie

[Sophrosyne]

I hope they can fix it without resetting the blessings again.
(insert griping and complaining here) techs...

[pgp_protector]

the blessing count that I did have (the increased one) just doubled unexpectedly :swoon:

Somebody Repped ya :D
It's another blessing bug.

[sk8Joyful]

Sorry dear,

People, *choosing* to find it within ;) themself - to actually BLESS :thumbsup: other people's lives, I choose Repping...

You may *change*, and thus get REPped as well :thumbsup:

It's another blessing bug.
I had to go look and see if someone sent me a bunch of blessings.. when I found no note I knew it was an indian giver doing it.

[ravenscape]

Noooooo!

Not more blessings bugs, anything but that!

[pgp_protector]

Noooooo!

They got it nipped.

Now it's only a question of what they'll do next :D

[WhiteWillow]

:( mine are gone.. the gift given was taken away so maybe the giver's should hold off on giving as it seems the blessers are losing their blessings to us anyways..

[bill16652]

[pgp_protector]

[Sophrosyne]

they will institute a rep tax..... 100 blessings cost for each rep

[pgp_protector]

Well even with the base level of blessings I had before the upgrade, I guess I could afford it.
But it would stink for the newbies :D

I can't find anyone else with this problem.. though people using firefox seem to have more problems than anyone else...
If you sign out and look at the site as a guest, can you see the pictures?

[Daffodilly]

I'm so pleased not to have to use my side to side scroll bar to read posts anymore. :thumbsup:

I'm still missing the old CF, but things are getting better each time I log in.

[AniGequoti]

I sometimes use Firefox and other times Internet Explorer.

[ravenscape]

There is something terribly wrong at CF. This is the ONLY thread tagged "entirely too much levity"

[heavensangelwv]

My blessings increased by about 14,000 today... anyone know why?? :sratch:

Yes, I can! :thumbsup: ~ I'm soo Glad all those pictures are still here.

(was about to ask ;) to get my 70+threads entirely Deleted) ^_^

So, since I can see them as a guest, what does that mean??:
I should stay logged-OFF ^_^, permanently :D Don't everyone jump up, & down, LOL

Hmm...

There's a checkbox in your control panel's Edit Options page that lets you view or not view posted images, including attached images and ones in IMG tags. Any chance you have that box unchecked?

They probably gave you my blessings and my background too. Give the blessings back! Hehe.

[AniGequoti]

Good evening, friends! :wave: We appreciate you, Raven.

[heavensangelwv]

LOL, you're a *genius* :D Raven :hug: keep this UP, I I'll be REPping you 24/7 :clap: erm.
Well, you know what I mean... :thumbsup:

(and here I thought, that would only turn-OFF what I didn't want; not what I DO want to see... :thumbsup: )

"puters": those ^_^ contraptions are so darn FRUSTRATING; GgRrr ) :blush:

[beamishboy]

[/size] Your background looks better on me... ;) Lol

No, the background doesn't suit you. It's too dark. The castle has dungeons and murder and evil lurking in every corner. It's not a lady's castle. It's for knights, armed and armoured.

Sometimes, we have to fight flying dragons that come to our castle. So please, for your own safety, go somewhere else!!!
