@ Rob; thanks So Much for your input on IR, would it be too much to ask if you could convert it over to HD (I'm not sure how) ... ONLY when and IF you have time. If it's playable without the custom graphics, that's perfectly fine with me ! :-*
SandyBean - Immortal Ruins has been converted and added. I left the custom backgrounds because they don't do any harm and I believe it's still possible to use the backgrounds the old way, so if someone wanted to update them they could. Sorry it took longer than I expected.

I've said it before and I'll say it again that MM is Vern's game and it is totally up to him how he wants to present his game to us, the customers. I, however, feel that his changes are not improving anything and in some instances they are reducing my innovativity as a builder.
I'm completely with you on that, Brell.

It was always BECAUSE of all the quirks and irregularities (and even bugs) in the original game that we could come up with so many innovations, new twists etc. for so long - and they contributed a large part to why the game stayed fresh until today.
If those debatable
improvements
were only restricting our creativity for future designs it'd be bad enough - BUT there are several cases where the changes are responsible for screwing up old designs so they no longer work.... often without the resp. designer even knowing about it until someone stumbles over it.

Hmm... don't you see a

No - I don't see it (anymore).
In the upper right corner all it says is

BTW, I'm using the olive-green design of the forums (but I always have, at least in the last few years.... and I don't know if that has got anything to do with that anyway...?!)

That is very strange indeed. I don't know what is going on since everybody else seems to have it.

There the real frustration starts......
Sherryl199 put it very well when we were discussing the removal of the ladderjump while testing MM2:
Things that Vern has taken out can, perhaps, be put back in - I don't think anything in MM is an absolute or most of us would not play or design. It's beauty and fun is, in my opinion, the flexibility and responsiveness to players wishes. At least that is why I continue to play MM. The game is the MM community and reflects players' and designers' growth. Otherwise Vern would be back at MM with only 8 mansions.

@ Rob; thanks So Much for your input on IR, would it be too much to ask if you could convert it over to HD (I'm not sure how) ... ONLY when and IF you have time. If it's playable without the custom graphics, that's perfectly fine with me ! :-*

Rob, Thank You So Much, for working on IR and converting it and making it available. Seems there is so much for you to do, with all the conversions and special scenarios and I truly, truly appreciate you taking time out from this and your Life to help me [smiley=dankk2.gif]
You guys are all so computer genius, just reading all the banter, advice and suggestions back an forth discussing resolutions to the issues is making my head swim !
Still mothering the 'mother dog', and her 10 Pups, so hoping to have time to play IR this weekend, and see how it looks ~ Thanks Again
aquamat - if it is the forum colours that is the problem you can change it. Go Midnight Mansion Forums › User CP › Profile > Options > way down change... tempaltes I use Test 17 but most of them are the same.
You can see for yourself how it looks for me.... I'll attach a screenshot.
I use those same colors, and I don't have the same issue. Too bad your screenshot didn't show posts you did. Brell sees modify for all posts since he has Admin privileges. You should only see the modify button on your posts. I'm still looking to see if I can tell what might be causing it.
I created a test account and tried posting here. Immediately after, I was able to modify and then delete the post with the test account. This is going to sound ridiculous, and I hate to ask, but are you sure you were logged in at the time?
