I agree Crazyheart - I would like to see this separated.  Something for Bible study and discussion of Christianity, prayers, questions about the church or services  (example:  what does Maundy Thursday mean - and why did they wash peoples feet at the dinner I attended?)

And keep the religion category for discussions about athiesm and religion, etc.

Other minor changes would be to find a faster way to switch from one category to another.  Sometimes I just want to quickly browse through the categories to see what's new.  It takes forever, it seems.

I'll second the motion!

I know that for somethings we are supposed to post them in the Blog section, but to be honest I don't have time to go back and forth between the two - that and I'm just plain lazy.

I will admit I like the new track feature but if I don't post on a thread, even when I'm interested I will often miss additional comments.

Hmm, maybe I will just start randomly inserting poems into threads I like

Even as I stood with raptured eye,
Absorbed in bliss so deep and dear,
My hour of rest had fleeted by,
And back came labour, bondage, care.
Emily Brontë, A Little While, A Little While

anyone else?

The recently active frame needs to be made wider..or truncate the length of the title in the heading.

Reason:  recently active used to contain all the posts in order of activity.

Now...we might only see 10 or so posts, especially if they have long titles.

I don't like the recently active spot.

I would like when on a page, as now, I am "on socail" i would like to have a way to jump directly to another category.  In the other set up there was a line of all the categories and you could jump.

I like your idea crazyheart and I have enjoyed your posts about women in the Bible.

Somedays, although I do enjoy listening to the atheist perspective and others also, I have found it can be "wearing" and I long for more content that is in a Christian vein---from all understandings.

I think it would be a welcome addition to the site and add to it's diversity and would have the added bonus of at least having time to explore topics more before being bumped out of sight.

lastpointe- I second that - I don't mind the recently active, but I find I forget about the others. 
 

I absolutely would like a way to jump straight to another category from every page. 

For me, change nothing (costs) but find a way to maintain what we have....  reading the Observer I read the funding for the website runs out this year.
