Community notes on biblia.com

When I login to biblia.com, I can see the little markers for community notes, but I cannot see the community notes themselves.  The 4th tab (beside Home, Library, Search) remains greyed out, and is not working on my system.   I can see community notes from Faithlife beta on my PC, but not in biblia.com.   Is this the way it is supposed to be working?  I get the impression that others are able to both create and read community notes in biblia.

    Ken,

    is it possible that the notes you were looking at wee in non-bible resources? AFAIK Biblia.com currently can only generate & display communitity notes in bibles. As a test: A note from me in James 1:1 should be visible, if you are a member of "Faithlife Beta" group

    If that's not the issue: what browser are you using?

    Mick, a little off topic but how can I get a 30page pdf to display in Faithlife? Can I link it to another host source that house’s it?

    You all have been messing w/it in beta how can I do it outside of beta….

    I'm  not Mick but ...

    1. Faithlife doesn't have an attachment function at this time. Ultimately, I would expect the ability to be part of the share option in L4.
    2. You can share a PDF in the files forum or in a drop box type service.
    3. However, a PDF is not a Logos compatible format so the question would be why do you wish to share a file in PDF format?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Mj, i need to act like I'm writing on this thing so's i dun't get into trouble w/the speaker....hehehhe.

    pdf's are easier to share and takes less to manage, docx are only good for 07 and up, tried to dwnload db to this new one but i keep getting an error from them, i guess i can use screencast...then link it from there., thats probably what i will do...

    thnx

    Mick, I know that the community notes only display in Bibles.   I can see the marker at James 1:1, but when I click on it, the browser does nothing.  I have tried biblia.com in both Chrome and IE.

    Strange. I have seen the same you describe, but that was a bug (now solved) that appeared when I was only an observer or follower of a group, whereas you seem to be a member of Faithlife Beta.

    I have no idea if the display of Community Notes somehow is restricted (maybe to your Logos version, or it works only on a specific OS level). Since these may come from a different server than biblia itself, maybe your firewall or antivirus blocks it? Have you tried killing your cookies and browser history?

    Maybe someone from the developers can help out.

    I think you can link anywhere you want - and if the pdf is online somewhere, this should work. But I haven't tested that. 

    But Faithlife is not nice to discuss at right now as it is, if you're now blowing it out with 30 pages, this might rather stifle the discussion fully. After all, the next guy might just point a link to one of the many ST books or several books dedicated especially to this question. 

    Maybe a better idea is if all participants agree on a certain book that all have and that explains the topic at hand with arguments (including history) and bible references, and the discusstion of these is done in Community Notes? So the author (assuming a mainstream theologian) may discuss Matt 28's relevance for the trinity and you could add a note giving your reservations and someone can react on this - all tied to the book and in nice small chunks that are feasible for Logos. We may need to manually post things like "I added a note to the Matt 28 section on page XYZ" "I answered you there" until Logos get's this feature out.

    In the future one could potentially facilitate this by sharing the resource one would like to discuss as a PB, but we're not there yet.

    Yes, I have tried deleting my cookies for biblia.com and my browser history.   It does not make a difference.   That last tab (4th one) still stays greyed out.

    Hm. This was the situation for me when they took the community notes feature offline from a short interim beta until they reenabled it - but I thought this was happening for all of us likewise. And you can see the notes in L4?

    What computer are you running on?

    Yes, I can see the notes in L4.   I have a Win7 64-bit PC with 6 GB of memory.   I also tried biblia.com on an older computer running XP.  Same result.

    Today, suddenly the notes started appearing in biblia.com and the 4th tab is no longer greyed out.  I am not sure why, but I think the change was made by Logos.
