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.

'New Post' Default Image
08.09.2010 at 06:13:11  
I noticed that the blinking circles that showed a forum had new post was kind of annoying while scrolling down the forums, so I took the liberty to change the default to the current blue and orange 'checkmarks'. The orange one means a new post is out, and a blue one is no new posts. I think this will just make it easier for people to see new posts as they scroll down, instead of stopping to see if any circles are blinking.

What do you guys think? Should it stay this way?

I've been using the old format all along because I didn't like the new colors or the blinking circles.

The forum colours in my opinion are pretty... mellow. If you guys thought of a better colour combo, which would you pick?

Perhaps a light red, a more friendly green, a sky blue (like the default, but darker) or perhaps yellow? Tongue

I like the check marks much better. Makes it stand out more. Personally, I like the colors.

This is much better, IMO, but it would be nice if we could use close and open treasure chests for this.  Do you think that is possible, Anthony?

I'm not sure how to upload images yet. I'll look into it. If so, e-mail me the images of the treasure chest closed / open.
