Just to let you all know, in this forum there is a help guide with a list of FAQ's that address questions about the basics of using this forum. So if you have any questions about how to do something on the forum, you can check to see if it addresses it. Here is the link.

Check out the new logo that Eurobrat made for us. What do you think? Maybe it'd look better with a Cupid's arrow through the globe? lol

The logo looks like it say HOA., but besides that it is nice.

Please change the colors back to normal. Halloween is over. I hate this black background.

Why do you hate it? These colors are awesome. lol. The big moon at the top looks soothing and the bats look cute. lol

If you really hate it, use the Mobile theme for now. It has a white background.

Note:

In this new forum version, you no longer have to use single quote marks in topic titles like you did before in the other forum. Now you can use double quotation marks in the topic title and they will show up just fine. Like this:

"Topic title of thread"

For some reason, the other forum could not display double quotation marks properly, but this one can. So you can use them now in topic titles.

I don't like the black background because I find it harder to read. I can't find the buttons. Where is the button to upload a photo? The old colors are much easier on the eyes.

But don't you remember when the Apple II computers came out in the 1980's? Its black background green text was great on the eyes. Remember? So why isn't that true today? lol

There is no button to upload a photo. There never was because attachments are disabled. We don't have the room on this server to store unlimited attachments.

Ok we've switched back to the regular theme now.

But if any of you prefer the dark background of the Halloween theme, you can still use it. I've left it active as an option that you can select as your own board style. To select it as your theme, go to your User Control Panel linked above. Under Board Preferences, you will see an option for My Board Style. There you can select the Halloween theme. Then click submit and you will be viewing that theme again. So if any of you prefer it, you can always switch to it.

Here is the link for your User Control Panel.

Note: In this new forum, moderators have a green username. So when you see a green username, it means that person is a moderator. Admins like me have a red username.
