    Just wanted to let all our members know that we have an ugrade scheduled to take place soon here at HT. It will be pretty awesome with some changes! The look of the forum might change slightly (we might have more color options, yay!), we can "like" other people's posts to let them know they've been helpful (or fun!) and in general this place should be a bit smoother to use overall. The admins are very excited about this upgrade and we hope you will be too!

    Now for the not so good news... once the upgrade happens (I don't have the exact time or date yet) a lot of things might come back that we had gotten rid of or the banner might not be showing or a million other little things might need to be changed back to the way we like it to be. Because of this, we ask that you please bear with us if you run into a glitch or you find that something is missing that used to be there before. And, if possible, please let us know about it! If you find a problem either write it here on this thread or send a PM to one of the admins so we can be aware of it. Also be prepared to wait a little while for a response or for the item to get fixed as we will probably be pretty swamped with trying to make everything look as good as we want it to. I promise you won't be ignored!

    Thanks to all our members for making HT this wonderful place... we hope this update will make things around here even better! :thumbsup:

    Your Admin Team - Amanda, Carolina, Leeann and Ryan

    Ooooh it looks like the upgrade has begun! It's looking different...weird-ish, but I know it's still in the process and I can't wait to peek around and see what's going to be new! I think I already saw something I'm gonna like!

    Ack! ;-) Well, I'm very computer challenged... I dread changing HT... but, I appreciate the work you all do to try to improve it and keep it going.

    Looks pretty cool so far! As for all the side bar stuff on the right, we will have to add all those back...
    Lots of new features and stuff to turn on!

    And just for fun... if anyone is interested there is now an option for different themes! So if you want to load up a Thanksgiving theme all you have to do is scroll to the bottom of any page and click on Change Theme. From the menu pick Thanksgiving and the new theme will show up. If you don't like it it's easy to just change it back by choosing the regular IP.Board theme! Here are some screen caps to make it easy for you:

    Another cool feature I just discovered: while you are typing a reply the board will tell you if there is a new reply that showed up as you were typing! Now you can keep up with those busy discussions in real time. How awesome is that? :clap:

    Kim,

    The app is not specific for HavaneseTalk. It's an app for IP.Board. (The software that HT runs on)
    And yeah, it is avaliable on Apples App store.
