Awesome. Thanks so much!
This change has been made. You can update your bibles and get the new naming convention.
Go to Scriptures, then more available.
Click Update Next to the bibles.

Hi Friends,
I'm working with our developers to see what we can do about this. I have found out that there is a field in the bible database that this text is pulled from. This is the same information used when looking at the list of available bibles. For us to change this, means that we would have to update the bible and change this field to NIV and most likely change the old NIV to NIV1984 so that you don't have a chance of having both NIV bibles named NIV showing up in your bible list.
That would be great!

While this feature is not currently available, you can edit the Scriptures in the schedule and manually remove the 2011 part of the Reference as Craigmash said earlier in this post. You can just right-click on the verse or collection of verses and select Edit Item... Then you can select the 2011 part under the Words tab inside the Editor window and delete it. Simply click OK to save your work from here.
Okay. I get it that you want it to look a certain way and that's your privileged. But I genuinely would like to understand why you feel that 2011 is so objectionable. I'm not trying to argue or belabor the point, just curious. I can see personal preference, but there has to be more than that.
We have made our posistion clear. How we want our screens to look is not really your place to judge.
Agreed.

First off, I don't appreciate rudeness from others. It was a simple request. I am done going back and forth on this, so if someone that actually works at EW would respond that would be great with rather it's possible or not. Thanks.
Why does NIV2011 not look good on the screen while NIV does? That makes absolutely no sense, especially since it is accurate. If you don't want to be truthful with your audience remove the reference as Terry stated previously and then manually enter NIV into the slide instead.
If you find the 2011 that distracting then you are the problem, not the reference as you should be paying more attention to the VERSE than the reference.

I am right there that it just doesn't look good on the screen. Yes there are differences in the versions, but most people do not know that. I just don't want it to say 2011, it takes up valuable space on a slide and there should be a way to remove it if wanted to.
Call it what you will. But whatever you call it, showing NIV2011 for us is pointless and ugly.
By your argument, NIV in EW should be displaued as NIV1984. Why is it not?
You do not have to agree that removing it is a good idea. But we like the idea and request it.

No one said it is a new Edition. The NIV 2011 is a newer REVISION with some serious flaws and all of the Bible sites I frequent takes great pains to designate between NIV (or NIV 1984) and NIV 2011 due to the many differences between the two. I can certain understand why EW differentiates between the two due to those differences as more traditional and conservative readers tend to prefer the older 1984 version.
Why? You are displaying NIV2011, not the older NIV from the 80's so it's appropriate to designate it as such.
I suspect 99% of people do not care what edition of NIV it is and it looks bad on the screen. Not to mention NIV2011 is not a version of the Bible, it is just the latest edition of the NIV. Every Bible site I have looked at simply calls it NIV. As should EW.
