Midnight Mansion Forums - 10 latest posts

It is still available, just one more click away than before. Just go down to the bottom right of the screen, where it says "Forum Issues" and pick '10 Latest Posts'. Take Care, SandyBean

Although 10 recent postings are often not enough...

You can use:
http://www.actionsoft.com/forums/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=recent;display=30
instead (it shows 30 of them, that works well enough for me). I think you can show up to 100 if you prefer.

I'm afraid that otherwise some postings get 'lost' - viewers don't notice them and they go unanswered, which is a shame really.

Toybox is absolutely right !

In the beginnings of this forum site I always used "show 10 last postings" but since I have found it out ** (about a year or so ago), I use this function to show me the last 30 posts....and that way I almost never miss anything new !!
I have created a "shortcut link" with a bookmark in my Safari window strip, and everytime I go online the first thing I do is hit that link and in a matter of seconds I see the latest 30 posts.

Very handy...... Wink

** BTW, I say "found it out"....but if I remember correctly it might well have been Toybox who told me that back then. Wink

Where do I go and what do I click if I do not use the link you posted? I am on another YaBB forum that has over 3,000 members (Horse related of course, with many new posts each day), and would love to find this feature ! Thanks, SandyBean

Dear Sandybean, please take a close look at Toybox's path:

http://www.actionsoft.com/forums/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?action=recent;display=30

Now, let's say that the forum you are referring to has the possibility to show the last 10 posts, like we do. Then all you have to do is change "10" to"30" in the path window and press return.

Of course the path could be different but somewhere it should stte the number of recent posts.

Hope this helps.

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.
