I periodically write a Christian newsletter named "Just Everyday Things." I posted it on Facebook for a couple of years, and then all this political and psychological warfare against Conservatives and Christians started and I had to stop writing it. It usually runs 1-2 pages, sometimes a page longer. It's Christian in nature, and I'd like to know if it would be okay if I posted it here, and to which forum I would post it. I would be referring this site to others in it who are Baptists (some might not be Baptists, as I know some Lutherans, have some Presbyterian and Catholic relatives who read it, and some who are interested in learning more about God. If I were given perm…

Is there an option on this forum software to save a draft of a post before actually posting? As an example, I believe XenForo software allows users to save posts as a draft as often as that user wishes - the idea being that a user could begin working on a post, save the draft, and come later to finish the post or just add to it. Once the use is satisfied, the user can then choose to post the content. I’ve looked for that sort of a feature here and don’t see it. I’m not complaining about it; I’m just curious if I’m missing something.

Every single forum I have ever joined has had a policy of "introduce yourself" before you get stuck into the discussions. In some, it is actually necessary to have an introduction post before you can post in any other section. Is this possible with this forum software? I understand that this is something brother Matt will probably have to address personally, but maybe a bit of discussion about it? Introductions are kinda important I think. And of course it may not even be possible under this platform, so it might all be moot.

Hello, In the "Private Forums for Independent Baptists" section, this and all subsections are grayed out when I try to post a new question either by using the "Create New Topic" or "Create" tabs. I do have a login so am good on that. How can I post to this section? In particular, I want to post to the " IFB Biblical Issues" subsection within the "Private Forums for Independent Baptists" section. Thanks, Paul Keck

For some ODD reason, I cannot post a new thread in the IFB Biblical issues. I attempted to start a thread on the Identity on the Antichrist and the False Prophet, but I can't. It seems as if something is putting a halt to this.

Today, due to a long post, I had to post the study, "Revelation 20:4-6 The Literal Millennium & the Seventh Day Adventist Erroneous Beliefs," on the thread in three different instalments. On the second instalment, starting from Point 1-5: Points number 3 and 4 were uploaded three times (along with extra footnotes). I tried to edit the extra material out of the post , but I could not. If a moderator could delete the extra material I would appreciate and it would make the study more readable. As it reads now it is confusing. I thought maybe the problem was with the footnotes. If the problem is with the footnotes then delete them. Thanks!

I wasn't sure where to post this, but it seems as of late we have had problems with false teachers coming here on this board to spread their false doctrine. It is rather frustrating that we cannot seem to get people to identify their religious background. I was wondering if it's possible to restrict a person to the "Ask a Baptist a question forum" until they reveal their religious denomination and affiliation? It would be nice if they had to get a mod approval on this before they can post. It's rather frustrating when people come here and refuse to identify themselves. Another possibility would just be to add a rule that gives an instant ban to those who refuse…

I was participating in the "What would you do?" thread, but, for some reason, I can no longer quote or post in it. I can edit my previous posts, but I can't make new ones. The Quote button and the Reply to This Topic box is gone. I just went around to other random threads and I can post in some of them, but not others. Have I been blocked or something?

For some mysterious reason, I can no longer reply to some posts. It took me an hour to write what I had to say, and I had thought long and hard about it too. But when I hit the submit button, EVERYTHING disappeared. Interesting... Also, it's funny how I can post here but not in a thread that I intended to post on.

BroJim or Moderators, I was trying to reply to a post in the Lounge but the reply button is missing, so I can't reply to any topics in that forum. I also cannot reply in several other forums as well. I go on OB with my laptop (during work break sessions), and my son's gaming system after I log off from my work laptop and use my son's gaming console to see whether it is the laptop or the gaming console that may be the reason why I could not reply in certain forums. The same issue occurs on both platforms. Your help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Daniel

The Book/Movie review section used to have its own position under "General Forums." Currently, it is under "General Forums/ Lounge." There are so many topics under the Lounge section that every day a new subject is being generated and the book reviews get lost in the shuffle (my meaning is that there are a tremendous amount of subjects and the book reviews are continually pushed back to previous pages). Let me give one example: the Clarence Larkin book review is now on page 5 in the Lounge. Is it possible to have Book/Movie Reviews taken out of the Lounge and in its separate section as before?

I need help with another thread. I am engaged in a thread discussion with Sister "Roselove," the thread started by her entitled, "Saved in 3 Tenses?" That thread discussion began with a question that she asked in the question forum. However, I am not simply engaged in answering the original question, but am engaged in an ongoing discussion. Yet because the thread is in the question forum, postings can be moved out of order through a system of ratings. (Indeed, this has already occurred with two of the postings in the thread) I believe that this system will distort the flow of the discussion for future audiences, as well as possibly for the present discussion. Thus …

Since the latest upgrade (I suppose), I'm no longer being notified of "ALL" new posts. I look through the "Unread Content" shortcut, and go on about my business. Today, I noticed several items in bold throughout the forums that I hadn't seen before, but those items never showed up in my "Unread Content"...if that makes sense. In other words, there are things I haven't seen, but when I click on "Unread Content", those items aren't showing (or didn't show). It's not a big deal now that I realize what's going on...just thought I'd report it...then again, perhaps I'm just looney.

In the main menu the forum section with a new post is bold and shows the avatar of the last poster, but when you enter that forum heading, there is no bolded thread, and no avatar showing in the top thread. When you click on the topmost thread the new post shows up, so it is there, it is just in the "intermediate" stage that it doesn't show. It is not an issue, but it had me confused until I worked it out.

I browse a lot on my smartphone. However whilst doing that, I have sometimes accidentally hit the flag that reports a post. When it is clear that I have done this, I hit the flag again to remove the report. So first of all I want to apologise if you get notification of a report from me that then disappears - I am not sure how that works at your end. Also, there may be times when I hit the report button accidentally, and DON'T notice, and you wonder why I am reporting an innocuous post. I fear that what happens occasionally is that as I am flicking the page up quickly on my phone, I hit the report button accidentally, and then clear the text window that…

Some of the banner ads load as Flash videos on a PC. If pages are loading slowly the problem may be with a plug-in called “Flash”. Flash has problems and can be blocked via settings in your browser. I have had the unfortunate experience of unexplainable keyboard and mouse problems. I noticed the mouse cursor problems mostly on message board formats while I was online. Many times I would click on where I wanted the cursor to appear, only to have it disappear before I could type. Or, it would mysteriously disappear while I was typing and the letters I had typed did not appear. This fix I am going to post did away with this problem as well as pages loading slowly becau…

With recent browser updates, I've received notifications that this site isn't secure...browsers are Firefox and Opera. My guess is that this has only to do with Online Baptist not having https (secure) available in the address...as opposed to only http? Just thought I'd pass it along; I'm not concerned over it.

Before I became a member here, I could read the posts on the Independent Fundamental Baptists forums. After joining, and as an independent fundamental Baptist, I have been unable to access or read any posts on those same forums. The suggested apply link to attempt to get group membership to the Independent Fundamental Baptist group no longer seems to exist or work. What is the present way to request group membership for the independent fundamental Baptist group?

Hello Matt, Most days the ads on this website prevent me from typing directly into the post response box. I must type into MS Word and then copy and paste, then remove formatting before I can respond. If I can find the ads and close them I can then type directly and post, if not I have to close out of the forum and re-log back in. It is most frustrating, as near as I can tell they are google ads. Is there no way to remove them from the forum?

Just because, I decided to have a look at the church directory links, and I discovered that those displaying on the front page are not working - they bring up the not found 404 error. The "Church Directory" tab at the top does the same. I assume that the recent change/upgrade that happened has also broken this feature as well as the other things noted so far. Please note that this is for information and not meant to sound critical - I don't need to see them, but someone coming later might, and BroMatt needs to know so when he has some spare time (!?!?!?!?!?! - I am not sure I remember what that is) he can have a look.

A few days ago, I noticed that I am no longer getting all notifications. I have not yet recognized a pattern. For example, I received both an email notification (in my apple mail) and a red bell notification (at the top of the OB page) for one of Brother Jim's posts in the new Homesteading section, but received neither kind of notification when Sister Salyan posted in the same topic. Has anyone got any thoughts on the matter?

I have not been able to post in the "lounge" I go there but there is no option to post. I want to open a discussion on Calvinism (I am not Calvinist) as it is one of the areas I have a pretty decent knowledge of. I am not an angry IFB who wants to be vindictive but a person who wants to have open dialog in a friendly environment. If I cannot use the lounge then where can I post for this topic? Thank you for your time.

Wonder if the Liberals have started something ahead of their bill passing... -
I just went to one of my study blogs to copy a quote and found out it has been reported for “phishing”, and has a big warning on each page you go to. I checked all my other blogs (including my poetry blog), and found all of them have this warning. I mentioned it to Angela Trenholm (my webpartner at EarnestlyContending.com) and she said our main websites have this warning as well. It must have been pretty recently as I have accessed some of my blogs within the last few weeks to get some of the studies and poems. At least the warning page gives you the option to “correct” the report and state why it was given in error. Two main concerns is that this will turn away visitors from sound Bible studies (including clear presentations of the Gospel) and solid Bible-based poetry, and be another step in hostile unbelievers blacklisting sound Christian sites. For those who don’t know, I am in BC, Canada. We have heard of other sites (especially in the US) being shut down or warned about due to controversial Christian content (like a preacher preaching against homosexuality and transgender issues), but I am surprised that it happened to my sites (containing poetry, devotionals, quotes and books/sermons by Christian preachers of the past). Any thoughts? -
