    Personal Books would fall under Logos Bible Study Application, so right here in this category.

    Yes - Participated is what I needed.

    I also just noticed that there is no way to edit the quoted post. In this post I would have liked to limit the quote to the part I am actually answering.

    Try this:
    1. Copy what you want to quote:

    2. Type "<" in the comment box

    3. Paste and edit to your heart's content.

    @Jason Stone (Logos) - What throws me off in the top level listing of posts is that there is not a time and date of the most recent commenter - as illustrated below. Plus, it still shows the original poster, not the most recent commenter. I will likely get used to this, but my first glance, based on the old forums, is that I think that the thread has not been updated.

    Interesting surprise when I loaded the site today. The changes will certainly take me some getting used to on the new (modern) community site.

    It seems all the previous sub-forums/categories were merged into one, large group.

    @Daniel NM, there are some changes but we hope you and other members will enjoy the improvements!

    Watch for tags to help filter down discussions, but we have simplified navigation a great deal, yes.

    @GaoLu the only disadvantage of this approach is that the person being quoted is not automatically referenced. If things remain as is, it will be a helpful practice to always use @person's name when performing a partial quote.

    Keep the feedback coming, everyone! It is very helpful now that the big lift of migrating everything is done, and we are working on fine-tuning.

    Two things:

    When entering text into the search box, as long as something appears in the dropdown list of suggestions, the "Home" and "End" keys do not work in the search box. That's probably designed that way. But it would be great to be able to hit "Escape" to make the suggestions go away.

    Also, while on my phone, but alert icon did not show up.

    It is a bit of a quick readjustment, but it is a huge step forward. Well done!

    There are already plans to improve this in the very near future. We're only getting started! :)

    I wonder if the posts listed under the alert icon could go away after I read the thing. I understand the blue dot indicates something unread, but if I hit F5, it's interesting that the whole list isn't updated. It seems unnecessary to scroll through all the other posts that I've already read.

    The one consistent problem I have when running through my notification list is the length of time it takes for the post to be marked read and removed from the list. It makes it difficult to keep track of where I am in the list and in being certain I caught everything as I still have two marked unread more than a minute after I finished the list of 7 and responded to 2.

    It is always a challenge to learn anything new. Let us know specific things that you are trying to find and perhaps we can directly you accordingly.

    Can all the white space be reduced a little more?

    Can we add some dedicated subforums?

    So are we no longer separating out platforms? I see they are separated for the betas but not for the regular channels? Or did I miss something?

    I don't like it when this happens … and I don't like people removing their threads when they have a satisfactory answer.

    Aren't they handled by tags like the denominational forums?

    Hey guys, thanks for the work in updating the forums :)

    I can see the search function for the forums, but is there an option to search the feedback posts/ideas?

    Can we get email notifications when someone replies? And can we choose which threads we get email notifications about? That was a great feature of the old forums.
