We've added more options to your user profile, and given you control over which data fields are shared publicly, with the admins of Faithlife groups / churches you join, and with co-members of Faithlife groups. The profile information you choose to show publicly will also be available to people who look you up from content you choose to share at Faithlife

Thanks to COVID, most of us aren't even working in the office downtown... (though I miss it!) We were able to switch to remote work very quickly, which is a good sign about our adaptability (and ability to run the business despite anything that might happen to our office buildings). Bellingham is struggling (and arguing) about how best to help the homeless

I'm sorry you don't like the splash screen... for what it's worth, it's been there since the very beginning. As far as I know it's programmed to display right away -- so that you know your app invocation worked -- and to disappear as soon as the app is loaded enough to use. We aren't trying to force anyone to look at it, and it's only there as long

I'm sorry that we released this without more attention, and for your frustration. In our desire to get all the books over as quickly as possible we're using automation and batch processing first; I don't know that each title is hand checked, since we have thousands to process and most go through relatively smoothly. We will certainly go back and revisit

Servant Keeper will be distinct for now, though over time we will offer integration and eventually an option to move to Faithlife Equip.

[quote user="abondservant"]But for me, Logos went from a company where I knew a number of people, and felt understood, and connected to the company; to feeling disconnected and out in the cold.[/quote] I'm sorry to hear you feel disconnected. We do have quite a few people who've been with us for many years -- five of us since 1993 (!) and others from

Phil's answer is correct... I'd also add that while some people are "all-in" on mobile devices, whether phones or tablets, it does seem like many people exhibit a 'create/consume' distinction (myself included!) where most 'creation' (writing, editing, typing) happens on a laptop or desktop -- something with a keyboard and maybe a mouse -- and use their

[quote user="Fábio Silva"]Right now something that has been weird to me is the "week" tab on Sermon Manager[/quote] Our observation is that different churches have different concepts of the week, or even the 'sermon day'. Some sermons aren't just for Sunday, they are delivered Saturday night and again once or twice on Sunday morning. Some churches

I'm sorry you don't like the new icon... it's an attempt to make clearer the family connection to all the Faithlife tools. You can see the icons lined up here: https://equip.faithlife.com/ Our logo and icon have changed many times over the years, and each change feels weird and 'wrong' at first, until it doesn't. I feel the same way about other companies

[quote user="Myke Harbuck"]AGREED! Aside from a few issues, things have been VERY smooth, and the positive feedback has been very pleasant. I'm sure the FL staff are pleased about this! And Bob, too! LOL[/quote] I am very pleased! :-) We shipped Logos v1.0 29 years ago, so it's good that the process is now "VERY smooth". I think the secret is that I

Some of this is done by hand, and there may be inconsistency (or older resources produced before we did this). We typically create the short titles for books with awkward titles and well-known popular 'short handles', but that's a subjective and sometimes personal distinction. There are also "Titles: Subtitles" and algorithmic shortening to abbreviation

[quote user="PL"]It looks like Faithlife / Logos might be the last one standing...[/quote] When we started there were lots of DOS programs, and soon many Windows ones... QuickVerse, Ask God, BibleWindows, GRAMCORD, Wordsearch, CDWordLibrary, Online Bible, PC Study Bible, etc. Today many of those are gone, but there are even more mobile apps, web sites

You can add a Verse of the Day widget with the same content using this plugin: https://biblia.com/plugins You can also embed any Faithlife TV video (including the live stream of Bible Screen) by using the "Embed" option on the video page: https://faithlifetv.com/items/300027 If you add it to your site, please post a link here so we can see it in action

We are exploring this more. Print Bible publishing is more complex -- typically more complicated typesetting as well as specialized thin-paper printing and binding -- but we'd love to do it.

I like this suggestion... in the meantime, you can right-click on a point on the map in Atlas and then choose "Open in Google Maps" and it should put a marker on the same lat/long position in a modern map.

This is a 'Signal' from Proclaim; it means that at some point you chose to follow a church presentation, and when they are 'on air' in Proclaim, showing slides, you get announcements and Bible verses sent to your Logos/Faithlife Bible app when they are being shown on screen. You can use the Settings to go to Presentations and change which presentation

Search for the word as a 'Bible' search, and then you can use the little graph icon in the toolbar to graph the results, or use "Analysis" in the upper-right of the results grid to see a tabular analysis. If you choose 'Print/Export' from the triple-dot menu in search results, you can send the results to Excel and manipulate them there as well.

I appreciate your desire to approach this ethically and live up to the terms you're agreeing to. For what it's worth, Faithlife is balancing two things: the need to have the 'legal cover' for an action we need to take, or might be obligated to take on behalf of a rights holder we've signed a contract with, and the need to continue our reputation for
