Latest Features

New Web Host

A new webspace has been set up and the site is currently migrating. As a user, you will not notice any difference during the migration period. The address bar on your browser will be the only clue that you are in the new webspace (www.simplybible.com.au) rather than the old (members.datafast.net.au). If you have pages bookmarked at the old space, those pages will still be available and if you use links on those pages the links will still work. If you have told people about the site and given them the address "www.simplybible.com" (without the .au) don't worry because that address still works. Even the short address "simplybible.com" (without www. or .au) will continue work. The new space is necessary for simplybible.com’s further development.

Accessibility for the Sight Impaired

The “Simple” mode in a basic form has been a page option for a good while, however it was upgraded in August 2011 to provide easy access to simplybible.com for the sight impaired. The “Simple” mode's header and footer are much improved for navigation. Pages display in consistent large print. SiFi the search engine can now be used in “Simple” mode (see next item). Large buttons now sit conveniently in the top right corner of every page to switch “Simple” mode on and off.

Upgrade of simplybibleFinder

Our internal search engine SciFi has been upgraded to version 11.8 with numerous small improvements. In addition, SciFi is now integrated with Simple mode, with large print search results, and the links in the results will open lessons in the same large print “Simple” mode.

Access to Alphabetical Indexes

You can now type a single letter into SiFi and get a direct link to the alpha index for that letter. Of course you can still use the array of alpha boxes or use the main alpha index. But now you can also use the SciFi slot. For example, if you type b into the slot and hit GO, SiFi provides you with a link to the b index. Even people who use SiFi a lot still occasionally like to browse an index. Well, don't they?

Various Sized Windows

The pages of simplybible.com now automatically redesign themselves to suit window or screen sizes. The site will, for example, adjust itself to a small tablet running Android or to a resized window on a pc.
