We just completed a major upgrade of the forum software. Hope you like it. 
Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can see you now!We just completed a major upgrade of the forum software. Hope you like it.![]()
We could see you, too -- if you upload an picture. Click the "User CP" link at the top right and you can put your own picture. The "avatar" is what shows next to your posts, whereas the profile picture just shows in your profile.Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can see you now!
I know what you mean. I had to drop the old forum software if I was going to keep maintaining the forum, because it was just too susceptible to spam attempts. I spent too much time going through mostly phony user registrations. The new system offers a lot of things I'm still learning, but the best thing is that it is better designed so that "bots" have a harder time registering, and I haven't had to delete a fake user since uploading the new one.Sometimes new things take time to get used to.
It's too close to Halloween. Someone is sure to think I'm wearing a mask!We could see you, too -- if you upload an picture. Click the "User CP" link at the top right and you can put your own picture.

Praise the Lord for that!I know what you mean. I had to drop the old forum software if I was going to keep maintaining the forum, because it was just too susceptible to spam attempts.

Sooooooo...We could see you, too -- if you upload an picture. Click the "User CP" link at the top right and you can put your own picture. The "avatar" is what shows next to your posts, whereas the profile picture just shows in your profile.
If one of the forums, for instance the Coffee Table, has more than one new thread (or replies to more than one thread), will only the latest thread or reply show on the main forum page?We just completed a major upgrade of the forum software. Hope you like it.![]()
Yes -- the main forum page just shows a "preview" of what's going on in the forums. Clicking the forum name will open the thread list and all of the "new" threads, or threads with new posts, will be in bold.If one of the forums, for instance the Coffee Table, has more than one new thread (or replies to more than one thread), will only the latest thread or reply show on the main forum page?
You can "subscribe to a forum" rather than to threads. Click a forum name on the main then click the "Forum Tools" link and select "Subscribe to forum." In your "User CP" area you should be able to set it to send you an email notification when there is a new post in your subscribed areas. You just need to subscribe to the forums that interest you the most.Is there a way we can be notified of all new postings to all threads, whether we've been participating or not?![]()
I don't think vBulletin includes private forums in the RSS feed -- the Beta forum is not a public forum.Will the beta forum messages be available in the RSS feed?
What do you envision for this forum, Brandon? What topics would you like to see here?All this forum really needs are more participants. Later this month I'll be actively encouraging people to check it out...
Hmmm... sure does sound like some good reasons to try to have a directed chat once in a while...Ah, marty, you've asked a question I have no clear answer to!![]()
I'd simply like to see this as a place where people interesting in SwordSearcher could freely talk about it, and Bible study in general... Hopefully we'll see more people offering their own SwordSearcher modules, etc... I hope that the Bible Topics and Prayer Requests forums get some use by people just looking for a place to talk with like-minded people online.
Specifically for SwordSearcher, seeing people talk about how they use it, and ask questions about how to perform tasks and the conversations between users based on those questions, really help me see where I need to improve things and what's already working well.
Stuff like that.![]()
Mostly we all communicate just with you right now instead of with each other. We've been using the forum mainly for beta testing SwordSearcher, and haven't 'personalized' it. Having the avatars helps, and knowing that you don't like banana bread, but that JaeByrd does, is another help... Maybe with some encouragement we'll loosen up a little.Ah, marty, you've asked a question I have no clear answer to!![]()

No, I've never served in the military. I moved to Hawaii when I married my wife, who was born and raised there. We recently relocated for cost of living reasons.I have always wondered if you were in the Military when you were in Hawaii? Then a few years ago I see that you moved to Ok. Did you get out?
You are very welcome.No, I've never served in the military. I moved to Hawaii when I married my wife, who was born and raised there. We recently relocated for cost of living reasons.
Thanks for all of your kind comments.
