The 'embed' function took away everything.

Admin comments on Dec 24, 2017:

Hi - I've been working on other things but read your question every day. We just made some more changes (hopefully improvements) on posting... maybe fixed it? If not, can you tell me more details? I'm a little confused.

Why don't I see my 2 recently posted posts?

Admin comments on Dec 24, 2017:

Can you describe them more? we don't put everything on the main page.

Been wondering how to attach emoticons or emojis in comments and replies

Admin comments on Oct 23, 2017:

We're still working on getting emojis working across the site. Still have to get them in chat room.

Admin, I received a PM from a member I have blocked.

Admin comments on Apr 27, 2018:

Yes, "Flag" user in chat goes to the profile page so you can block/flag them there. Perhaps later we can see about getting the flag popup to show but some people just want to block a member. In group chat, we don't yet have blocking setup.

Is the video upload feature available to all at this point, or is it just being tested?

Admin comments on May 3, 2019:

@Admin the messaging in the Android app is losing messages when the Send button is pressed.

Admin comments on Jul 14, 2018:

I'll get this looked into - thanks!

Did people unfollow me, or they're all ignoring me now for some unknown reason?

Admin comments on May 27, 2018:

Admin why add this new feature of liking a post and always getting notifications whenever someone ...

Admin comments on Feb 4, 2018:

Hello, you can customize your alert setting under "My Account"--"Alerts"---"Pick Alerts".

I got a notification that someone responded to a comment i made (it said so and so 3 mins ago).

Admin comments on Nov 5, 2020:

Hmmm... I have to think about how this could occur. It MAY be related to comments being bumped for manual review (we show the comment first and skim/review perhaps a few hours/day later)

Richard Branson: World's wealthiest 'deserve heavy taxes' if they fail to make capitalism more ...

Admin comments on Feb 14, 2019:

First, be careful putting too much weight on OLD billionaires who ALREADY made their money and don't have to worry about a 70% marginal rate and are too old to worry about a 3% yearly wealth tax. They can promote higher taxes as they benefit from the virtue signal. "The combined riches of the world’s 26 most wealthy billionaires equals $1.4 trillion — this is equal to the total wealth of the bottom 3.8 billion of the world’s population.". Sounds crazy right? But let's say we kill them and split their wealth among the rest of the world (say 7.2B). Everyone would get $194, or since the median annual household income worldwide is $9,733, 7.3 DAYS worth of income. Where's all the wealth then? It's among the NON-billionaires... most it is with the millionaires (about 15M in the US have $1M+).

Is there a way to hide groups from notifications?

Admin comments on Jul 13, 2018:

Each group has it's own alert settings (edit on the specific group page)

So I would like to be alerted when the people I follow comment on posts rather than just when they ...

Admin comments on Mar 21, 2018:

It is possible but most members write about 10x more comments than posts.

Errrr, so this is now funny

Admin comments on Nov 27, 2017:

Awesome thanks! "Fixed" it. BTW, when you get to level 5, your posts got live instantly.

@Admin, On our profile pages, there are the tabs that show each member's Posts, Comments and ...

Admin comments on Aug 31, 2018:

I thought about it but it would be hard to code and not used much besides stalkers (kidding). @ me if you disagree.

This site has an annoying deficiency.

Admin comments on Oct 29, 2018:

Hmmm... it should jump to the right location. Can you put a link to one here?

What are levels?

Admin comments on Nov 30, 2018:

There are lots of ways for you to earn points so your level will increase. Take a look at the "Levels" page at https://agnostic.com/levels for more details. The points/level system is just a way to help us reward active members by giving more access and perks to members as they increase their level. Don't get too hung up on the points/levels as they are mostly just a way for us to keep scammers away. Thanks for the question! You can read more on the FAQ page (see link at the bottom of every page).

Admin comments on Nov 12, 2017:

"make a reply to a reply to a comment". For now, you can make a reply to a comment to a post. We're thinking about nested posts but that can turn into a rabbit hole. Will think more about it! Welcome :)

Hi--I notice that there are limited points for getting responses to posts.

Admin comments on Dec 25, 2018:

I don't think there are limits on each post but for total posts per level. Please remember that points are mostly to get to level 7... after that, it's less important.

Mostly just questions: Is anyone else seeing that there are several posts that are staying locked ...

Admin comments on Mar 3, 2019:

Can you give me specifics?

Sometimes when I post a response, it doesn't show up.

Yup, eventually I'll make a toggle to hide it for members who don't want it. You can also add text to your photos. Enjoy :)

Admin!! Can you not make the buttons on this app so tiny and close to eachother?

Admin comments on Apr 13, 2018:

Are you referring to the little links at the top of the main page? We have a design for larger buttons there.

How does one go about following someone in this community?

Admin comments on Nov 18, 2017:

Good question! We are in the process of updating "Follow" feature. Currently, when you follow someone it was like putting them in a list you could go to. In the next day, you will start getting alerts on the site and by email if 1) you want them, and 2) when they post something (topics only). You can also follow someone's post by "Favoriting" it. Then, when someone else comments on it, you can see what they wrote. We may follow up with some other features to make it easier to find and follow categories and (hash)tags.

Recent update for ios app seems to have broken the ability to edit comments.

Thanks for letting me know. I've been traveling for parents 60 wedding anniversary and just now catching up with reports. I'll see what I can do.

I am making this post to suggest something for the new magazine and would like feedback.

Admin comments on Sep 1, 2020:

Thanks for the feedback. This whole magazine idea is in beta and I'll try to curate better in the future. My goal was to get as many of the member-submitted articles into the launch so that there was something there... but admit that I didn't read them that closely. For the really short submissions, I have simply been approving them to go in the normal feed and not in the magazine. Agreed about a disclaimer somewhere. I run this site out of my foundation and I have been fortunate enough to have been successful financially. I write most of the code for the site and do some minor support. I've hired several people who do more of the site support, abuse report handling, etc.

How do we get news on here please? And what kind of news is it? Is it reliable?

Admin comments on Nov 12, 2017:

Anyone is allowed to post links to news. Members then post their comments about it. As we have lots of skeptics here, you'll be sure to get mostly clear-headed, well thought out responses.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I worked a bit today on the notifications/alert page. You can now split them out by type. We'll look into the zombie alert deletions. Can you tell me if it's from the drop down or full page? On phone/computer? Browser? Can you reproduce it? "Next, I'd like the option to NOT have "likes" appear" - you can select which to have and not have in alerts. Is there a bug? If you follow someone, you get an alert if they post or comment... works for you? The T-shirt poll is just to get feedback as we're stalling getting a shirt printer connected to the website while we work on more pressing features. As far as developers, it's just me and another guy part-time so have to be very strategic. What features do you think we should do next? ... that is, of course, once we fix messenger :(

Trump's Federal Reserve Pick Said The Working Poor Aren't Taxed Enough | HuffPost

Admin comments on Apr 28, 2019:

If poor people always had to pay 10% income tax, would they feel more involved than if they didn't have to pay any? What if they also got an additional 10% of government assistance? This is a similar example as the carbon tax where gas is taxed but the buyer of the gas gets paid for the tax. It's net neutral but gives an incentive (in this case, to be more frugal).

Does the agnostic.com site accept any ads?

Admin comments on Mar 23, 2018:

No we don't put any paid ads on the site. We are kind of advertising the American Atheist conference but not for money. As a non-profit, we prefer to give a service than try to make a few bucks selling eyeballs.
