Yes Nick, thx for reporting it. So far, I thought I was the only one who encountered that bug.

Very funny is, that when choosing the new layout for the boards, the bug is gone ... Roll Eyes

If you shouldn't know how to change it, this is how you may do it.
1° Click on the User Panel tab.
2° Click on Profile.
3° Click on Options.
4° Enter your password.
5° At the question "Which template ..." choose: MMF.
6° Click on Change Profile.

But, strangely, only when trying to download the TempleOfTheGorgons-update !! It simply didn't work. However, I had no problems downloading the Catacombs update a minute earlier !!

Because any server may be "out of reach" for a while.

I re-checked it just now....and it works fine again! I also set my "Forum Options" on "YaBB 2.1 old style" and -zooom- it reverts back to the (much better) old and trusted look, PLUS all the functionality of YaBB 2.2. Truly recommended !!

But of course, from my side, I need to recommend "MMF" and not "Old yabb 2.1 style". Because I did create it myself ... I assume you didn't like the choise of the colours? Or is there more wrong? Please tell me.

The colors are tiring 2. It looks "crowded". Handling is less "intuitive" than before...! 3. Some fonts are too small and the whole layout looks a bit "dated" (no offence) !

Of course I do not feel offended. Because, about the layout there are two complete seperate things.
1° The choise between the new yabb2.2-look and the old 2.1 one.
2° The changing of the colours for fonts, backgrounds and borders.

As admin I was only busy with point 2° and tried to give MMF some MM-colours: blue for the night and yellow for the moon (and the easy way to make yellow hints possible

). My "major succes" was getting rid of that yabb-logo and replace it with a MM-pic. That needed to be done by changing a part of a text written in html. Roll Eyes

Doesn't feel customer-friendly.

I assume that changing the tabs-row (Home to Logout) and e.g. the "dots" that say if there are new posts in a forum, must be changed in that text as well. It isn't possible to change that, like e.g. the background colour of the text area.

Anyway. I am not at all a specialist in this kind of things and am very glad that Joe is coming back to fix the layout of MMF in a much more serious way!

Make sure you've read and agree with the rules of posting here! The forums are run by three administrators. Read here who they are and what you may (and may not) expect from them. A brief history of the game At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves. Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition! Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions! Custom mansions In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF. Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms. If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.
