I've both upgraded the Forum to the latest version of IBF, and much more importantly managed to stitch together all the old Forum posts from the previous hosts.

Hopefully there shouldn't be much in the way of problems. If there is just let me know.

There's some handy new features on this version of the software including:
- Topic Tracking
- Quick Reply
- Forum Subscription
- Report Post to Moderator option

I'm going to make more of an effort to keep myself busy on these forums from now on. They really deserve much more life after all the hard work everyone puts into the Reviews and News on the rest of the site.

i think this site could use a color change...
like something dark (black) or something creative...
and a banner with the site's name where it says "Invision Power Board", it should say "Horror Express" and have a slogan with it...

I am 1000% percent in agreement Unholy.
In fact I've been working on something for the last week plus. It's a white/grey/black/red skin. And it should hopefully completely mesh the look of the main site AND the forum. When that's done I'll work next on a black one.
I like the look of the main site's black skin, but black forum skins are a little hard to do, or at least do *well*.

I hate the look of the Forum now, as it *is* totally unmodified. But then I have actually created new skins for the Forum *twice*. Each time I've upgraded the software they have no longer been usable. So that has been a real pain and put me off doing another one.

Hopefully the one I'm working on now will be one people like (both for the Forum and main page). I think it's clearly the best I've done and without doubt the most creative...
