Upgraded the forum today

Sorry we were down for a bit. I upgraded the forum software some today and it is easiest just to do it and ask for forgiveness later rather than to plan and ask for permission.

p.s. I took out a bunch of old skins because they were very old. Will see about adding some newer ones here soon. In the mean time hope you enjoy the skin presented for Halloween.

Thank You

Although, Burnt Orange ?

Is that going to hang around beyond H'ween ?

Go Dodger Blue ;)

BTW the linked site seems to use the same format / software with some

different Bells And Whistles. Especially in the notifications area.

Some may be applicable to improving this site, or not.

This upload is not intended to advertise another site but only share what techiness they

do with seemingly similar software.

OMG! It scared the hell out of me!

Thanks for the upgrade and the new colors. Now I want to go trick or treating!

So, this "holiday décor" thing, are we going to see a Thanksgiving décor? Christmas décor?

Good job. Looks interesting.

The only unexpected thing that I found was that blog comments and posts are mixed in "What's new" view, but that is, probably, tunable.

@Moi - go in the lower left corner, and you will see a theme selector. Choose "vB4 original" and you will get your blue color :-).

Yea, the "What's new" feature shows the activity stream not the new posts which is something we normally suppressed.

I found the filter, so it is not a problem :-).
