Hey all,

I'm posting this while Tiberius plays video games with our nephew, but he's given input. As you'll notice in the Refugees thread created by TTA refugees, they're homesick for certain smilies and stuff. A few staff members have told them to share their suggestions for Tiberius and potentially other admins to browse and attempt to implement. In order to keep them in one visible place, I've created this thread, and I've included our regulars too. You guys might have smilies you love that you don't see here as well.

What this thread is not:

A free-for-all for forum complaints and suggestions about function. There's only so much you can do with any forum software. You can still create separate threads for your problems, suggestions and feedback.

What this thread is:

A chance to get some fun new features that you've seen in use elsewhere.

Note:

Tiberius and I are deep into home renovations at the moment, so time is limited. However, he's still active on the forum, and he will add anything he sees here that is feasible to our handy staff "to-do" list. We make no promises about how long suggestions will stay there.

ETA Current Suggestions:

Cup! Cup! We need the deadpan coffee cup! TTAers love the coffee cup.

I generally mined mine (and saved them to my desktop) from elsewhere. I've gotten some suggestions about how to navigate through the fact that mine are all http instead of https. After the dust settles on our migration through the desert I will be working on that. But I am a tech dinosaur, so I may be getting back to you with that.

THANKS FOR MAKING THIS THREAD FOR US!!!!

By the way, my old house is 109+. How old is yours? Or are you just doing relatively new house renovations? We are renovators/restorers/remodelers by trade so I'm a lot like the shoemaker's wife who has no shoes----we're not real enthusiastic about coming home from work to work on our own house.

The house I grew up in was a few decades older than that. I loved it! Ours is only 60 years old, but it needs a lot of modernization, as the people who built it really leaned toward trends in materials, etc. Nothing is aging well in terms of style. For example, we have beautiful wide-plank pine floors in the living room, but they're pretty fucking orange in terms of finish. What color are the wood panel walls, you may ask? Also that same orangey-pine. Why? It was the 1960s. Tiberius hates them.

There are other more pressing problems, like really old particle board cabinet shelves. We're tearing out and remodeling the entire kitchen. They also finished the basement with some outdated techniques, so it's got some issues. We're ripping that all right the fuck out. It'll be the man cave to end all man caves when we're done.

We have four fireplaces that they've converted to gas then just disconnected. We want them running on wood again and all of them operational.

Then, you just have the usual, gutter inspections, a bit of siding needs reshingling, painting, etc.

Are you restoring your house in spite of your line of work or did you buy it already restored? We wanted a previously restored Victorian home, but nothing came available while we were looking. We've got something of a Dutch colonial built out of its time.

As long as we are on the subject.....

From the refugee thread, one I just posted:

And that coffee cup smiley, I found out the hard way that somebody was crybaby sensitive to it.

That's a fucking good one.

It just sort of comes natural.

Here’s the deadpan coffee cup one
