wrote a new post, Heaven vs Hell: Do They Exist? January 15, 2017 @ 6:17 pm
Does Heaven really exist? Yes, I believe it does but not in the traditional Judeo-Christian sense of the word. Respectfully, I think any idea of eternal bliss, possibly amongst the clouds, must be put aside. […]

wrote a new post, How I Became a Pantheist January 15, 2017 @ 2:43 pm
In this essay, I would like to briefly discuss how I became a pantheist or, more specifically, how I went from being a theist to agnostic, to an atheist, and then finally to a pantheist. I’ve inserted three videos […]

Yes! Once we get it, it’s the same at its core to christians being flooded with the holy spirit. Pantheists share so much with their world religion and atheist brothers and sisters. Its an amazing place to be, to see the value of each group, to have a language to speak to both.

Beta Testing – BUGS January 14, 2017 @ 7:19 pmI think I figured out the problem. I tried to copy and paste one of my WordPress articles including its YouTube video link and for some reason it didn’t like that. Once I deleted the video, which did show up in the editor by the way, and manually “Add Media” and paste in the link and so forth, then it worked. I also noticed your site’s player…[Read more]

Beta Testing – BUGS January 14, 2017 @ 6:54 pmI just tried to post my first article and I keep getting a 403 Forbidden page which also reads “A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site.” Does anyone know why?

Charles Beebe replied
Hi Guyus, it turns out the 403 you got was due to our firewall. I think I have fixed this; I temporarily set the firewall to ‘learn’ that shared Youtube videos are acceptable as inline links within posts. When you get a chance, I would appreciate it if you could post another article with a Youtube video in it and see if you avoid the 403 response.…[Read more]

I tried posting another article as a test (copying and pasting one of my WordPress essays which included images and a YouTube video) and I still got the 403 error, but as soon as I removed the video that does show up in the editor your site uses, then it posted okay. I also did confirm that I could simply paste in a link for a YouTube video…[Read more]

Thanks, Guyus. I don’t know what’s different either…when I put the firewall in ‘learning mode’, I did manually add the link, so maybe that’s different somehow from copy-pasting a previous WP post with the links already inline. To my mind, it shouldn’t make any difference, but obviously it does somehow. Out of curiosity, did you copy paste from…[Read more]

Beta Testing – BUGS December 27, 2016 @ 11:39 pm* Uploading avatar in “create a group” still has that confusing issue of having both a “Crop/Set” button and a “Finish” button which would lead many to miss the Crop/Set button and just hit Finish. Crop/Set button should just replace Finish button and should probably be accompanied by a “cancel” button so they can try a different picture…[Read more]

Charles Beebe replied
I changed the wording of the ‘Finish’ button to ‘Finish Creating Group’. We really need both, since a group creator has the right to skip adding an avatar in step 3. If they use the default avatar instead of uploading an image, the ‘Crop/Set’ button never appears. I have modified the text to be more clear about these two options (default vs.…[Read more]

Well, at least I can replicate one weird behavior: if you place a space before your word, but not after and enclose it in quotes, it treats it as a ditto mark.

Beta Testing – TEXT CHANGES December 22, 2016 @ 1:15 pmThe only possible suggestions I would give at the moment is changing some of the main menu labels and/or their order, such as changing ‘INFO’ to something warmer and inviting like ‘HOME’ or “WELCOME’ or ‘About Us,’ placing ‘NEWS’ to the far right at the end or second to last, changing ‘VIEWS’ to ‘POSTS’ or ‘FEED’ or ‘TIMELINE’…[Read more]

We started out calling the tabs:

Then, we tried to simplify and make them shorter words. But you make great points, maybe we’ll do a poll of a few of us and try to get it better

Oh, I definitely like “What’s Pantheism” and “Community” as main menu label possibilities. “Perspectives” is the only one that would worry me as far as most people understanding what that label is for.

I’ve noted that formatting, at least in publishing “Articles”, is not wholly preserved between viewing the article from a direct link to it and viewing it in the editor or on my personal time line. The latter is correct. When I click the link in my timeline, some of the formatting is lost.

Thanks for the report, @jon_hoskins.

What about formatting it similar to FB “Notes” (which I have grown fond of) in that any “featured” image acts as a header, centered across the top, with text and any additional content following below?

Beta Testing – BUGS December 22, 2016 @ 10:15 amCreated the sub group \”Audiophile\” under \”Arts & Music\”. The platform insists on appending \” 1\” to the name of the subgroup. Is this intended, with purpose, or a bug? Is there a way to remove the addition?

Charles Beebe replied
Hi John, that was actually on purpose. Based on the Activity record (the ‘Feed’ on the first Social/Groups page), I see you first created the group ‘Audiophile’ (i.e., you successfully created the group without a “1” appended). Then you created it again, and the system automatically appended ‘-1’. I don’t anticipate this happening often, but IF…[Read more]

Thanks Charles! I actually experienced this with my FIRST attempt at making the group as well. I wondered if I had accidentally missed the opportunity to correct it so I deleted the group and gave it another go. To be clear, both attempts ended with the ” 1″ appendage.

Hi @jon_hoskins, can you please tell me what platform you were using to create the original post, above (beginning with “Created the sub group”)? Were you on a mobile device? I’m trying to pinpoint when the quote marks are posting with an “escape” (a \ slash) in front of it. It didn’t happen in your later post, and it’s not all Windows OSes.
