Hi guys we have 29 members in this tribe if we can all write to the right person/people here at Tribe.net then maybe they would add a Baha'i option to the list of religions?! (in the personal profile section) I'd rather be Baha'i than "Other"!!!

    Hi everyone - been lurking here for a bit. Bumping this thread as I'd also like to see the option available. Was there ever an official administrative response to this?

      I don't think any of us has taken action yet!

        Friends,
        I have submitted a request to feedback@tribe.net requesting to add a Baha'i option to the list of religions.
        Quddus, thank you for starting this thread. What a great way to introduce the faith to an ever growing web community :)

        My request:

        Greetings fellow Tribesters,
        Thank you for providing such an awesome social networking portal.

        My name is Brian Beasley. I'm a member of Tribe and am also a Baha'i.

        I have a request:
        Please, add a Baha'i option to the list of religions (in the personal profile section)

          Thanks Brian!

          Everyone, lets follow Brian's lead, if you don't have time just copy and paste what Brian wrote (if that's ok, Brian).

            I've also now emailed them a request as follows:

            Greetings fellow Tribesters,
            Thank you for providing such an awesome social networking portal.

            My name is Kolya "Quddus" Schweppe. I'm a member of Tribe and am also a Baha'i.

            I have a request:
            Please, add a Baha'i option to the list of religions (in the personal profile section)

            Most outside sources consider the Baha'i Faith to be one of Earth's 9 major world religions (There are Baha'is in every country and territory on the planet).
            To learn more about the Baha'i faith you can visit:

              LOL ~ SInce I cut and pasted Brian's request mine almost went out saying that I was Brian! Okay, so I am tired tonight!

              Your's is nice!

              I should have waited for your's so I could be Brian Quddus. Anjali will read this tomorrow so she can see your's before she emails. She, however, is not brain dead so she will probably not be as silly as I.

    Now that tribe.net has gone through a change of management (of sorts), I thought I would check in to see how many people have emailed this suggestion in to date. Mine went out in August and I never got a response. I'm going to follow up, but it would be great to assess how many of us have asked to date so we can provide good feedback. I'll try to hold off for a couple of weeks, or so.

    From my own personal perspective, even if they don't add "Baha'i" it would be great to allow one to simply opt out of the question, instead of forcing us to pick "Other".

      There should be a form that would let people type in the name of their religion whenever they select "Other." This would accomodate all sorts of Faiths, in addition to Baha'i.

        This would certainly be a great alternative, I agree. I can imagine a text input field would also make tracking religious preferences on the backend a little trickier ("garbage in, garbage out") but that's not really our problem.

        The only point I was trying to make was, I would be content not answering at all, which might be simplest for the tribe admins (noting that they appear to be swamped). Based on my own webdev experience, it's easier to add a dropdown choice or make the field non-required, than to add a whole new fill-in field option (although arguably doing either or both only takes a couple of minutes).
