View Full Version : Welcome to CF2 (The saga continues, the legend is born)

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.

The ice arena should be there under the Sports backgrounds.
There are no plans to change the character stances. They can be positioned any where you like in the space though (but can't be rotated around).
Living Avatar gives us some flexibility, but I doubt it's enough to do a pairs lift.

250x250, which is the size of the background pack that came with Living Avatar. If we decide to make it smaller (and we might - that box is HUGE!), we'll have to crop the new backgrounds.
For the time being, it's ok to assume 250x250.

Yes, if you want to have the dollies for a while but then go back to your present avatar, that is OK. You'd just need to re-upload it into your custom avatar section and save it. :)

If we change the avatar size, it will affect only the backgrounds, not the characters. The character space used to be 81x180 pixels, so items we've made in the past will fit nicely in 200x200 with plenty of room to spare.

After ChrisBot embezzled all of the Bank's funds, he was fleeing the country in a passenger jet. A man calling himself "Cooper" snatched Chris' big bag o' blessings and parachuted out through a hatch. Cooper hasn't been found yet, but CaDan located the bag a few hours later, and has been freely redistributing the wealth formerly held by capitalistic, freedom-hating fascists.

An ad-banner. Doesn't necessarily have to be an ad, but it usually is. The new ad layout seems to be what's corrupting some Member's viewing experience.

The Bank's currently down. I think the plan is to roll back Blessings to their pre-upgrade amounts. Dunno when, though.

Lisa0315

Thanks! I found it. Did they change the wording? I think I remember it was different.
How to Become a Christian
The central theme of the Bible is God's love for you and for all people. This love was revealed when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into the world as a human being, lived a sinless life, died on the cross, and rose from the dead. Because Christ died, your sins can be forgiven, and because He conquered death you can have eternal life. You can know for sure what will become of you after you die.
You have probably heard the story of God's love referred to as the "Gospel." The word Gospel simply means "Good News." The Gospel is the Good News that, because of what Christ has done, we can be forgiven and can live forever.
But this gift of forgiveness and eternal life cannot be yours unless you willingly accept it. God requires an individual response from you. The following verses from the Bible show God's part and yours in this process:
God's Love Is Revealed in the Bible
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." --John 3:16 (NIV)
God loves you. He wants to bless your life and make it full and complete. And He wants to give you a life which will last forever, even after you experience physical death.
We Are Sinful
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." --Romans 3:23 (NIV)
You may have heard someone say, "I'm only human -- nobody's perfect." This Bible verse says the same thing: We are all sinners. We all do things that we know are wrong. And that's why we feel estranged from God -- because God is holy and good, and we are not.
Sin Has a Penalty
"For the wages of sin is death." --Romans 6:23 (NIV)
Just as criminals must pay the penalty for their crimes, sinners must pay the penalty for their sins. If you continue to sin, you will pay the penalty of spiritual death: You will not only die physically; you will also be separated from our holy God for all eternity. The Bible teaches that those who choose to remain separated from God will spend eternity in a place called hell.
Christ Has Paid Our Penalty!
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." --Romans 5:8 (NIV)
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, has paid the penalty for all your sins. You may think you have to lead a good life and do good deeds before God will love you. But the Bible says that Christ loved you enough to die for you, even when you were rebelling against Him.
Salvation Is a Free Gift
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast." --Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
The word grace means "undeserved favor." It means God is offering you something you could never provide for yourself: forgiveness of sins and eternal life, God's gift to you is free. You do not have to work for a gift. All you have to do is joyfully receive it, Believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died for you!
Christ Is at Your Heart's Door
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." --Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
Jesus Christ wants to have a personal relationship with you. Picture, if you will, Jesus Christ standing at the door of your heart (the door of your emotions, intellect and will). Invite Him in; He is waiting for you to receive Him into your heart and life.
You Must Receive Him
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." --John 1:12 (NIV)
When you receive Christ into your heart you become a child of God, and have the privilege of talking to Him in prayer at any time about anything. The Christian life is a personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ. And best of all, it is a relationship that will last for all eternity.
Receiving Him Now
If you want to receive Jesus now, and accept His gift of salvation, it's a matter of believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, and turning the rest of your life over to Him. This is not a ritual based on specific words, but rather, a prayerful guideline for your sincere step of faith.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
If you decided to become a Christian today, welcome to God's family. Now, as a way to grow closer to Him, the Bible tells us to follow up on our commitment.
Get baptized as a public statement of your new faith in Christ.
Tell someone else about your new faith in Christ.
Spend time with God each day. It does not have to be a long period of time. Just develop the daily habit of praying to Him and reading His Word. Ask God to increase your faith and your understanding of the Bible.
Seek fellowship with other Christians. Develop a group of Christian friends to answer your questions and support you.
Find a local church where you can worship God.

It's not built into the vBulletin software (unless they've totally sold out since I last worked with them), but PHP routines can easily be crafted to grab your location from the database and then grab ads associated with that location from a third-party adserver. Another method is to resolve a geographical location from your IP address. But I don't know what method CF uses.
Change your listed location, and see if that affects which ads you see.

I wonder if it subtracts it out of your blessings or if it comes from some neutral source.

this is weird....when I edited my post above (#192) I see a spinning circle right next to a sentence starting with 'could not...' is this a bug or something with the editing?

Hello :wave:

8th May 2008, 11:15 PM
and not sure about the 'christians only' in theology though that would be a difficult thing to do without a lot of flack from some of our non-christian members - but not having a space would pse problems for our christian members so whatever they do in that respect is a fine line that will have to be tread gently.
Thanks for trying to answer my question. As I said though, it is named in the OP of this thread as one of the areas that "are marked as 'For Christians' ". I am sure all of the politics surrounding it has been considered from both sides of the spectrum already by those in charge, so I wasn't trying to start a discussion on it, just looking for some clarification since I don't see Theology marked as stated (quote from OP enclosed below for convenience). :confused:
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."
Any info that anyone may have on this would be greatly appreciated.

NO ENTRY TITLE sounds like a search-engine error, but I'm not really understanding what you're doing to get an error.

The profile pics are coming out now the actual size of what we originally loaded up. I had a picture of Jesus and its larger now too but the old CF profile shrunk it to fit the parameters of the profile automatically.

and what happened when I just did a regular donate blessing? Mine went down like normal.
Maybe the blessing award is more like a recommendation and the blessings come from CF?
