How can I change my name??

Realizing the fact that what seems truth to me may not seem truth to others and what seems truth to all of us may not be the ultimate truth, I wish to change my name. Ultimate truth is known only to almighty God. I can never be 'Truthteller'. Is there any option to change my name?

What do you want to change your name to?

Hi
I am a psych. student researching benefits of religion/spirituality for mental health. Would it be ok to post an invite and link to a survey for any interested members to fill out?

What you'll want to do is post a thread in Site Feedback requesting permission. Then we'll get back to you about how that works (we make decisions by consensus). :D

What is the difference between the Paganism DIR and the Indigenous Religions DIR?

Pagan religions include neopagan revival religions and reinterpretations (like Wicca), whereas indigenous only includes religions as they were practiced by people originally. Usually with an unbroken chain. They could probably all be combined into one DIR, as there is much cross-posting between each and they aren't high traffic.

It's something I've wanted to see happen since I got here, honestly. But it hasn't been on my priority list, and it turns out re-arranging forum structure extensively is a bit of a pain behind the scenes.

Is there a list of the new changes to the forum? The few I've seen seem like a step backwards, we are seeing less information than we used to :(

You mean changes to the user interface? Those changes are done by the site owner, so we are left figuring it out on or own unless Brent posts up an announcement for us about it. He did make a post about the most recent change: http://www.religiousforums.com/threads/new-post-rating-system.191013/#post-4898761

If there's something you remember that you miss, I would message Brent W directly about it. The mechanics of the site isn't something the mod squad has control over.

I see in other people's posts that a link can be renamed for clarification.

Like this one: Two Kinds of Salvation

How do they do that?

Here's one way:

Type out in your post what you want the link to be called. e.g. Two Kinds of Salvation.
Highlight the words you just typed.
Copy the URL of the link.
Click on the link button.
Enter the URL of the link into the URL field.
Click on insert.

Just a technical issue to ask about ...anyone having trouble clicking on a thread without being logged in? I have to log in to be able to click on a thread and the contents, otherwise it takes me to an advertisement...like a pop up advertisement and it takes over the whole page. Just curious if anyone is having this issue?

I got that too. The popup page is mostly blank.
