I am just conducted a major upgrade to the forum. I am still doing some adjustments behind the scenes.
The site has many enhancements including a new editor that saves as you are typing messages etc.
Change: I attempted to keep the site looking similar to the way that it has always been. The original author of the previous design left the business. I am aware that there are some that do not like change. There are those that even if something is better, they prefer to keep things the way that they are. These changes are good! Please attempt to embrace them.
These upgrades are made so that we can continue to evolve as the net evolves.
IMPORTANT ABOUT SEARCH and embedded videos: As of the time of this post, our search feature will not work very well. Our database is re-indexing every word ever posted on this site. This may take 24 hours or so to complete (hopefully not). So the search feature will not work well right now. Older embedded videos may not show up right yet.
While our search re-indexes.... The site will be slower than normal.
You may see additional minor changes over the next few days.
Thank you for your support. I am working hard to improve the site for you. More improvements to come.
THANKS!
Larry

I think it looks terrific. Funny, I had to really think when signing in. It's been so long since I had to give my password here!
Keep up the great work! Thanks, Larry!

I'm one of those that do not like change, but it always happens so you go with the flow and in a few months I'll totally forget what the old version was like.....Thanks for working so hard for this site Larry....It's definitely the one site I hope never shuts down because it has the largest amount of haunters in one place that I know of....It's become quite a large community from the time I've joined until now so congratulations for that....I was wondering if you were going to do any upgrades for the slew of new comers in the next few months ahead.....I look forward to how the site evolves....Thanks again....ZR

Android/Iphone app now working....
Thanks much. It is easy to keep things the way they were, but limited to what could be done in the future. This also (once the database conversion is done) is supposed to be able to handle increased visitors.HalloweenForum.com Admin

Yup. It looks really great. I can't complain. (Doesn't mean I won't.
) It will take a bit of getting used to.
You have done an amazing job keeping the site up and running almost 24/7 with a huge number of users. I really missed it today during the move. Thanks for all your hard work over the years.
So far, the Contact pop-up looks cool, as does the "What's News" link. (That's... new isn't it? Maybe it's just more prominent.)
