New forum look

[Rollo Tamasi]

Not everyone.Just because they attend a Church that makes them a Christian?If I sleep in a garage does that make me a car?

I was thinking of attending the Church of the Enlightened Path.
Would that make me a Christian?

 

[turnorburn]

Right under our avatar there was a box that told the members if you were a Christian or not, now its missing.. Just wondering if their going to bring it back, most if not all Christian forums do that as procedure..

Hey turn or burn, I was just reading one of your threads from 8 years ago.
I didn't know you were around back then.

 

[Kathi]

I'm not sure why it's so hard to choose yes or no. Really, you're a Christian or not. But it will be considered.

As I said, there are many things which were reset when this changed over which will be fixed in time.

Thanks for adding the Christian Eora.

I think we can tolerate a little off topic chatter when the OP gets slow.
A little.

 

[Deborah13]

I don't know where is your heart?

 

[Obadiah]

I don't see how it's any more complicated than "Location". You can enter whatever you want in that field. It's exactly the same thing with a different label.

The TOG​

Unlike questions such as location, from a moderator's point of view, the Christian yes or no answer is something we need to know as there are actually some rules that apply only to non-christians while others apply to Christians. It's spelled out in the ToS and in the individual descriptions of some forums. This would become unwieldy if we have to sort through all the possible answers to that question that people could think up, especially those who want to be non-committal or deceptive about it. You either are a Christian or you aren't, yes or no. If a person wants to editorialize about what that means to them, they are certainly welcome to do that in their signature or profile.

In my chest.
Where's yours?

The current state of the things I need to fix, strikethrough is done

• member card text more visible
• remove "likes received" under members' names
• update the logo (in progress)
• put back the Christian status under members' names
• change notices colour from green to new blue
• put back Bible rollover quotes

In addition I'm finding a few other things along the way. If you think something/s wrong, post here.

There are also Christians who prefer not to use that label, because it's associated with something they'd rather not be associated with. I think it would be good if people could enter their own description, rather than just answer "yes" or "no" to being a Christian. Then people could write "Christian", "Believer", "Jesus follower" or whatever description they prefer. Non believers could enter "Atheist", "Agnostic", "Hindu" or whatever else describes them.

Because some of our forums have restrictions on who can see let alone post in them, the christian button served as a trigger to automatically allow access rights by assigning membership groups.
So, while it served a visual for our members, it also served a function.
The function could remain while the visibility could be removed.

Nice job on the skin. It looks good from my win8 browser and much easier on the eye from my android phone.

Anyone can put their belief/faith description in their signature.

Yes anyone can but it makes it easier to reply when you knows a persons beliefs.
