I would be happy with some spell checking 🙂

Yeah, we have to find a better solution than the form we used for making posts. It has some good features but is somehow not allowing for the browser to spell check text. It's on our short-list. Thanks! Note: spell checking in comments works.

@Admin Other than that, love the site!

Hi. When I close and reopen my IDW app, the page it opens to is a sign up page, not a sign in page. I go to the three bars upper left corner and select log out. Do you want to log out it asks. No, but yes. So I'm now logged out so I go to log back in with my user name and password.
I HATE THIS METHOD OF GETTING IN!! Please tell me another way to do it, or keep myself logged in on the app permanently like other apps, or fix it.
Thank you.

Can you tell me what phone you have (e.g., iPhone, Android)? For me, when I reopen the app, it goes to the main page (logged in). I'll investigate. Please send me a private message on my profile page @admin.

Have been a member for less than five minutes. I will post something later when I get acclimated.

I’m having a bit of trouble navigating but I’m hoping once I get rid of Facebook I’ll have more time to play here! I’m hoping you can get Avi On here!
Please watch.

I'm getting acquainted so let's see where the conversations go.

So far nice format and it does appear to be easy to navigate. I am a 60 yr old bat. I will nicely let you know of any issues. Thank you very much.

I just posted something and wasn't able to put it under "cult of beauty". I would like to.

Should be there now.

New the site I wasn't sent a confirmation ? I tried 3 times still no email. Looking forward to some great discussion.

Will double check the email sending code. Can you check your spam folder? Thanks!

Just reading through peoples comments makes me want to run away. It feels like a religious platform. Not many activists to be seen. All more concerned about their precious mythology than the horrors engulfing our home atm.

I'll change the way posts are flagged so, now if people are posting personal testimonies of their faith, those posts will show up on their profile page and not in the general website.

@Admin oh sorry... didn’t mean to shut them down... but I am looking forward to the day when all these brainwashed people realise their true power and stop giving it away to some invisible make believe entity in the Sky. It’s ludicrous and the cause of so much warring on our magnificent home. I prefer INTERSPIRITUALITY. ?

@Speyedy Dear, please have some compassion for our fellow human beings that are not on your level of enlightenment.

@Bumpkin11 It’s not enlightenment but thanks ? It’s time to remove religion from public spaces and practice it in private. That delusion; that incredible piece of mythology made up by men who wanted to control the masses is the most destructive lie alive and it’s tragic that people believe it. But it’s that tragic belief that robs them ALL of the truth and keeps us ALL divided. Until people wake up to this glorious lie we will never evolve. ?

Just looking forward to some INTELLIGENT discussion! Glad to be here!

Embed a "join group" button on each row on the main list of groups, so you don't have to click through to the group homepage to join it.

Good idea. I put it on the list. It'll have a popup after each click to confirm the alert settings. By default, members get an alert for each new post in a group.

Hi, great to find this site thanks!

I'd like to see profile edit with an option to upload your own work, such as writing etc.

Also, I question the goals of including the "Are you a social justice warrior?" question when first joining - don't put them off! They need educating and they might not even enter if they are instantly on the defensive. For every one of them who are antagonistic and judgmental, there are ten of them capable of engaging with others' views who would benefit by having the far left's views countered by a community such as this.

I just updated the profile bio section to support a very long intro (it'll split it and make a "view more" link). You can post longer form posts anywhere on the site and they'll show up on your profile page.

The "Are you a SJW" question is a bit of a tease but I hear what you're saying. I'll run a test later to see if it helps/hurt the conversion rate. In general, our community is a response to blindly accusational SJW types.

@Admin Yeah I get that, I do think we would do well though to acknowledge the distinction between a genuine left thinker and a SJW.

It would be helpful too have the date and time on posts. I don't wish to jump in on a conversation thread three weeks old.

Mouse over "Actions" button to see the date of the post.

I'm on another social platform that I think is using the same basic structure as this. They created a "tech support" group, and then anyone who joins the site is automatically entered into that group, so it's dead easy to find it (and folks of course can leave the group if they like later). I think that might be useful here? Folks can also check out what others have said, and it might be easier as time goes by to keep the tech stuff organized away from regular posts so it's more manageable?

Yeap, we've a category "Site & Customer Service" for general site questions. I read them all and respond.

AHA! Okay, so when I attempt to create a post on my own profile, I keep getting a "your session token has expired, please refresh the page and try again" error message. Naturally, I followed the instructions, but it didn't work. So far I haven't been able to create a post! 😟 ???

Yep yep... Will fix asap. Thanks.

@Admin Roger that. Is there a way to "pin" this post so it's easy to find? Or is there a "Beginners/Newbies/Tech Support" type group?

@DesertMinx You can click the star "Favorite" this post or read the tutorial under "Learn" drop down.

I’m surprised at the nonsense the liberal/ socialist/ left believes and espouses. Any free thinker can see it for the garbage it is, but we’re stymied by political correctness. They seem to be of the thought of old: If you can’t battle them with brains, baffle them with bullshit...So I am baffled a lot.

When I go to the posts ive made on my page I can't see what the posts were about! I want to see what I posted a thumbnail and text if there is any. The way it is now is not going to work.

I went to your profile and see the posts you've made. Are you seeing something different? Please message me directly from my profile. Thanks!

Worried about these leftist indoctrinated reprobates flooding to the voting booths.
I’m worried about the stifling of free speech and conservative ideas in schools and on college campuses.
The leftist/Antifa violence must not be allowed to go unchecked.

When posting a news article to a category make sure it does not appear everywhere on the site.

Thanks, I sent you a private message to discuss details on this. Group posts mostly stay in the groups and category posts stay in their category UNLESS we bump it to the main page for more exposure.

Just got here, I'm glad to see all my favs from YouTube and my books are here.
Finally I don't have to tear my hair out every time I want to log on to a public forum!!
Lunatics can be fun( as in Facebook etc), but only in small doses !!

We are now going to go to each of the top groups and scan the world for good posts in each. The goal is to make it easier to members to follow people they like.

@Admin I didnt mean lunatics here!!
Other forums like Facebook etc!!

I'm a blue collar worker of predominantly Hispanic heritage. I live in a great city and an amazing state. Recently I have become concerned with the way we have become so polarized in our politics and identities. Growing up a native here it always felt quite diverse and accepting. The highest virtues weren't our differences, but hard work and and honesty. This seems to be going away. While I do feel we are in danger of losing these values, I also believe there is still time, and hope to stop this. I would love to see more events, perhaps in an open form discussion format, take place to remind us that first and foremost we Americans and secondly we are in this together

Hey no worries!

Why make it difficult to post?

How so? Happy to improve the interface... Just let me know 🙂

Thank you. I've only just joined and am learning the ropes. It's exciting to be here. I'm hopeful.
