The Flash version didn’t allow you to customize the interface in any meaningful way, but the new version will:
Here’s a list of all the preferences you can set to tailor your HM3 experience how you like:

Can you tell I’m workshopping the name of this update? Anyway, I want to keep you all apprised of how the conversion process is going.
You can now upload not just saved character strings but old Flash Cookie “.sol” files. For a long while that was the only way to save characters but it was tucked away in a hidden location that was hard to get to. Now if you have one from Back In The Day you can import it like any other file and all of your saved characters will be there, fully editable, without needing Flash at all. The test file I got from a long-time and awesome HeroMachine community member had 375 characters saved, and now they can all live again.
In addition I added an “Export All” button so you can keep your characters in a safe place outside of the site. I dread the thought of clearing your cookies and suddenly all your data is missing.
I’m also adding more new items under a central theme!

Hi all, I hope you’ll forgive the shameless plug, but I’d be really appreciative if you could give our NerdMudgeon.com podcast (mostly about Marvel shows) a listen and, if you have a moment, a kind review on the podcast listening platform of your preference. We have a lot of fun with it, but sometimes it feels like talking into the void so knowing someone out there is listening would be a big morale boost for John and I.
Our latest offering is on the penultimate “Loki” episode and can be found at https://nerdmudgeon.com/loki-s1e5-journey-into-mystery if you fancy giving it a go.
And by the way, if you haven’t been watching “Loki” you definitely should, it has been a TON of fun so far!
Thanks for your time!

Djuby is gonna kill me but the submissions for the Five Hundredth Edition of the CDS were so good, I couldn’t pick just one. I am overjoyed at being reminded once again of the amazing talent and creativity you all have and which you share with everyone. Putting yourself out there is hard to do and I deeply appreciate every single person who took the time to submit their characters.
I picked out my absolute favorites and am adding them all to the Hall of Fame because they are all outstanding. I’ll leave it to Djuby to pick one of these to do his own take on as the official prize, but I couldn’t leave any of them out in good conscience.
Thank you again to all of you, not just the folks below, and not just everyone who entered this week, but to everyone who’s been a part of this amazing community for so many years. It’s hard to believe that more than twenty years have passed since the idea for HM first came to me. I never imagined I’d meet so many fantastic, gifted, passionate creators along the way. I’m truly humbled.
And special thanks of course to Djuby and to ALL the moderators here who have kept this place chugging along as I’ve uprooted my life time after time over the last seven or eight years. I’ve landed in Utah and am happy being a full time developer, but I’ll always have a warm spot in my heart for HeroMachiners, and it’s due to the mods that it is still going even in the face of the unstoppable Juggernaut that is Adobe shutting down Flash.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and that most of all, you keep finding ways to express your amazing creativity!
We’ve been doing the Nerdmudgeon podcast for all the Disney+ Marvel shows, starting with the fantastic WandaVision and continuing now with “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier”, and after a conversation with AMS I realized I haven’t told y’all about it at all! My bad! We’re having a lot of fun talking about them and I hope you’ll join us.
It’s all at https://www.nerdmudgeon.com, and the latest episode about S1:E4 here.
