THE NEW JOY OF SATAN FORUMS ARE NOW LIVE!

[hailourtruegod]

Will reply more later but so far it looks really good!

Glad I read a bit thru this thread to understand better the functionality and looking forward to going thru the new stuff. Thank you!

I agree! This is so much quicker than posting, waiting for various pages to load, waiting for approval of the post, and so on.

Do posts still need to be approved? It seems to pop up instantly for me, and there's no alert my post being approved. I opened in a private browser just to double check but the post of mine seemed to be approved or visible instantly. If this is intentional, does this mean the logic before of weeding out troll posting is no longer needed? Or was I taken off-mod and didn't even notice or was alerted?

Oh I guess that was just a glitch for the first day/post, nevermind I see it still needs approval like normal, sorry.

 

[Personal Growth]

My original account Personal Growth seems to have been completely wiped out. I first joined with Tyrone1978 but soon set up Personal Growth. Now I see Tyrone1978 has like 974 messages when it was inactive. And my reinstated Personal Growth which I set up again even accepted the same password.

So there has been some cross over of some sort. It doesn't really matter. I'm still here with the same user name.

What happened before these upgrades was my old ten year plus old i-phone 4s stopped reading the forums. That I put down as my browser being outdated. I'm happy now to see I can read and navigate this new theme. But to post replies it works like that new technology where clicking has no effect like nothing it being clicked. But that too I can live with. Happy to see it online on my phone again so not to miss out on things.

This visit is on an old laptop I pull out. Keep up the good work very professional and modern theme here.

Most people are currently on mod, I just approved yours. You saw your post right away but if you look at the top for the next post you make it will say it's only visible to you until it's approved.

Log in with your original username (Tyrone1978), request the name change to what you did change it to before (Personal Growth).

Look at the posts by your previous username, are they the ones you made with "Personal Growth"? If so, then what I wrote above will make more sense.

Usernames were just reverted back before changes.

 

[Larissa666]

Can members who used to be off mod (and didn't abuse it) get it back?

 

[OuroborphicMystery]

Lovely. I have to say that I did love the old forum style a lot as someone who's used the forums that way for a long time and the same applies to our main website - but I totally understand the needed modernization to be ready for the fresh blood that's inevitably going to pump more and more into the great collective organism that is us.

I have a few humble suggestions:

Since the forums have been modernized, why not add more customization options on the User's end? Such as text size and perhaps font. Since we have done the dark theme already, this is the logical next step!

A setting to hide the top bar (especially if we can also have the option for a little button or something to bring it back down) would be great, for the purposes of privacy.

Everything else seems great for now, I've just barely begun to explore the revamped forum.

Also, if either of my suggestions are already present in some form, I do apologize. I am currently only able to check on a mobile device for now, and I am reporting this based on my experience with the Preferences menu.

Thank you HP Cobra and Guardian ApolloAbove for your incredible revamp. Salutations to both of you and those who have contributed even a single brick to Satan's Great Temple!

 

[Shiva666]

May Father Satan bless this ancient-forums forever and give us more knowledge and guide us.

 

[NakedPluto [JG]]

I just easily changed my profile picture, no need to resize . So cool like a flying Amon Ra

Yes, posting full profile pictures is such a big freedom now, it is amazing!

 

[Ol argedco luciftias]

The previous forum was getting slower than usual for about the last 2 weeks. I noticed this too. I know this was a big reason why everything was just changed to try to make it faster.

All I can say is for me, this new one seems like every page takes at least 10 times longer to load than the old one. There is such an enormous increase of features and components on every page now, and we have to wait for all of these things to all finish loading before the page is shown correctly. Maybe people are using computers with very fast internet connection so they don't notice this, but for me it feels like it takes forever for each page to load.

 

[OhNoItsMook]

Some technical inquiries; I used to possess the ability to delete my own posts. Not that I've ever done it, but the option was available to me. There would be an X button at the top right of my post, and it presumably would have allowed me to remove it. However, this option is no longer there. Was this something everyone had, too, or was it part of a particular privilege of sorts?

Also, the "Preview" button while writing posts, does not seem to perform any action for me. Previously, it had allowed us to see precisely how our post would appear if it were publicly visible, allowing us to simulate exactly how others would view it. I greatly appreciated that element, and would hope to be able to utilize it again.

But regardless, everything else is incredible, and I truly admire the current interface. I strongly applaud the extensive efforts of everyone who has contributed (and is still contributing) to creating the perfect environment for this sacred abode.

"Greetings and Welcome to our New Community Forums!

We have decided that one way to overcome any issues presenting themselves with the previous forums, was not only to solve them, but to fully upgrade our forums.

The JoS has now a new forum, better than ever before, that is beautiful, response and modern. Everyone is encouraged to login and begin posting and learning on the new forum.

Do not be afraid to experiment! Also, we are aware there have to be a lot of changes/improvements on the layout and everything that has to do with the forum. We are putting in the work to make it happen simultaneously as everyone accommodates.

-Posts, avatars, user accounts are as they were before.
-Your passwords are as they were before.
-Community is as before.
-Improved theme, light and dark theme as per your choice.

Stay tuned as we increase and improve everything that has to do with the forum experience. We know certain things need improvements.

Meanwhile:

1. Artists/Designers - Those with high art skills such as creating banners, backgrounds and so on, could message me at [email protected]
2. Programmers/Web Designers - We need more programmers and others who have valuable skills to join the designing efforts under the official group of JoS Coding. That will do wonders for the community.

I want to thank ApolloAbove [JG] for the fact that we worked together to get everything working and upgraded; but we have a lot more work to do. For troubleshooting logins on other problems, contact him at [email protected]"

Wow this is a very useful and innovative update, we can say that we are making giant strides!

 

[Hp. Hoodedcobra666]

There were some posting limitations and so on put in place, we were not aware of this; now these are removed.

We are working to solve everything and to make the experience here the best it has ever been.

I don't think the functionality is as degraded as you may be assuming. There are trade-offs with everything, but you have to look at the sum total change.

Regarding your specific concerns:

• You can still type unicode and it translates correctly, or toggle your view with the "Toggle BB code" button
• Text color of quoted passages can be changed to suit individual needs, as can the text itself be modified or deleted
• You can quickly save drafts of your replies, then just close the page or screen.

This new forum is fantastic.

This is like we have now our social platform of our own of this kind…

This is amazing!!!!

 

[Aquarius]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_of_Satan_Ministries the Wikipedia page about JoS.

This is surprisingly informative.

 

[Evorum]

Active Member probably means having over 1000 posts, from the looks of it.

Thanks for telling me. I am glad to see the concept of the JoS forums being applied.

And the reactions are cool .

 

[Silverfire]

This is surprisingly informative.

I loved it and was surprised as well. We are accepted in the mainstream and that is BIG to me and makes my heart swell. It's positive to see that and this amazing convenient and beautiful new forum we have!

 

[Silverfire]

I'm at a loss of words about how impressive and beautiful the new forum improvement is! Very fluid to use and customize. I love the light/dark mode! Very beautiful all around!

You are a valuable member here, are you able to get better internet? And you mentioned in another post that you are here from a phone, are you able to get a tablet or notebook, if not a laptop?

I just found out all my bookmarks are gone now.

I have good internet and multiple computers at home, but I spend most of my time away from home. I am always going to many different locations. So most of my time I'm using a phone, and the internet service is usually fine but is often not strong.

 

[SSinHeartandSoul]

There are 3 problems i found while using the site,

1. The main page takes a lot of time to load while using the TOR browser, this is not as big of a problem on the other pages.

2. I can't open up featured content in a new tab.

3. sharing pictures in a conversation does not work properly, it asks for a url link, if you supply the link it does not work. (One way to make it work is to toggle BB Code and upload it that way)

 

[Henu the Great]

2. I can't open up featured content in a new tab.

The same with the forum logo at the top. It seems these objects are treated as images in a way even though there is a link in them too.

whats the create conversation for? can you now have private conversations again with members i haven't seen this since the old yahoo groups days also why can i start conversations with some people and not others?

If you go to your account and Preferences, you can choose who is allowed to start a conversation with you. You can choose anyone, people with an account, or people you follow.

"Saluti e benvenuti ai nostri nuovi forum della community!

Abbiamo deciso che un modo per superare eventuali problemi che si presentavano con i forum precedenti, non era solo risolverli, ma aggiornare completamente i nostri forum.

JoS ha ora un nuovo forum, migliore che mai, bello, reattivo e moderno. Tutti sono incoraggiati ad accedere e iniziare a postare e imparare sul nuovo forum.

Non aver paura di sperimentare! Inoltre, siamo consapevoli che dovranno esserci molti cambiamenti/miglioramenti sul layout e su tutto ciò che ha a che fare con il forum. Ci stiamo impegnando per realizzarlo simultaneamente in modo che tutti siano accomodanti.

-Post, avatar e account utente sono come prima.
-Le tue password sono come prima.
-La comunità è come prima.
-Tema migliorato, tema chiaro e scuro secondo la tua scelta.

Resta sintonizzato mentre aumentiamo e miglioriamo tutto ciò che ha a che fare con l'esperienza del forum. Sappiamo che alcune cose necessitano di miglioramenti.

Nel frattempo:

1. Artisti/Designer: quelli con elevate competenze artistiche come la creazione di banner, sfondi e così via, possono inviarmi un messaggio a [email protected]
2. Programmatori/Web Designer - Abbiamo bisogno che più programmatori e altre persone con competenze preziose si uniscano agli sforzi di progettazione nell'ambito del gruppo ufficiale di JoS Coding. Ciò farà miracoli per la comunità.

Voglio ringraziare ApolloAbove [JG] per il fatto che abbiamo lavorato insieme per far sì che tutto funzionasse e fosse aggiornato; ma abbiamo ancora molto lavoro da fare. Per la risoluzione dei problemi di accesso su altri problemi, contattalo a [email protected] "

This is a late response, but I really like the new forums!
Thank you to everyone for their hard efforts, and for making the moving so quickly!

 

[ScienceSerpent]

I love the new forum; in particular, I like being able to "like" things people say and show support when I don't really have anything to add otherwise.

@Hunter You started a conversation with a bunch of us but you locked it so nobody can reply to you. Please undo this if you want us to reply. You also locked your settings so we can't message you informing you of this. If it's a bug instead then let us know so we can fix it

Yes, we can now have private conversations (DMs)

The reason you can't DM some members is because they have their privacy changed, to not allow any DMs from anyone, or to only allow DMs from people they follow. If you want to DM someone who has their ability closed, you can tag them in the forums or write on their profile wall (if they have that ability enabled) and ask if they would like to DM with you.

 

[Dragonheart666]

I love the changes! Now that I'm getting used to it. It is actually fun and I enjoy being on here. It is easy to post things on here such as pictures and sharing what is on your mind. And making threads and articles!
THANK YOU!!!! HAIL SATAN
