| We've now got a custom domain name!  ...it only took 6 years, but still! You shouldn't even need to update your bookmarks as any use of the messedupcables link should redirect back to the new url. It just works. (He says, hoping nothing breaks.) We'll be doing a couple of other things in the background before giving the forum a bit of a lick of paint in the new year. Any suggestions for what folks would like to see? I'm still leaning towards a dark mode - sorry Mas! - but I'm happy to tinker with the settings if there's an overwhelming majority for mustard yellow and brown or something as our new theme. |

| Could we have a toggle option? as like I said in the past I find it hard reading things in dark mode and if the site goes to that, I don't think I'll be able to use it anymore. |

| That bad?  I'm sure we'll be trying out a few designs, and they all really muck you up I'm sure we'll think of a 'third option'. Do give us feedback for what works for you. |

| I'm not sure if there's an option to implement a choice of themes, but that'd be ideal if it's possible. I'll have a wee poke about - something like a classic theme (this one) and a dark theme for a change would be a nice couple of options. |

| The site should now be showing up as secure with an https URL now! It's nothing major, but it does mean Chrome won't angrily shout that the site isn't secure every time you access it. |

| Through the power of the Internet, you should be fine with this change too. Thank you, auto-redirect! |

| If anyone would like a daft Christmas username, let m'self or Jay know! This is not an excuse for anyone to try to nick the account belonging to that person's non-festive username.  |

| Easily fixed anyway - could always change the imposter account to a different name, outing the culprit or something of that effect...  |

| We've nicked an emoticon off our dear beloved affiliate because I've found it useful in the past and Jay liked it too. See if you can spot it. |

| That was basically imported into the forum so that I could emoticon-pun 'Tenderloin Minimise' in my signature. This one has more widespread use, hopefully! |

| It's this shifty-looking fella:  Fair enough, they're quite normal so you wouldn't know we hadn't had them for ages. That also means they might be more useful than half our crop... ...if they're getting too numerous let us know! |

| We probably ought to go through the emoticons and bin the ones that are unused, to be honest.
When was the last time somebody used :queen: or :flower: ? |

| Maybe, if there are suitable replacements. If there's any emoticons you'd like to see, post them up in here for myself and Balla to consider. |

| Let's start with the clearing out side of things. I'm going to try and bung them into four groups: - Chuck:
 :teeth:  :cherry: :queen: :geek: :medusa:  :homer: :marge: :bart: :lisa: :maggie: (I mean, they're cute, but when was the last time anyone actually used them?) :flower:
- Maybe chuck?:
 (We have three tongue-out emoticons, four if you count me, and this seems the worst to my mind) :idea: (Last time anybody used this?) :cyclops: :silent: :shrink: (I brought this in for selfish purposes, and it's barely been used since)  (This gets used occasionally, but would anybody really miss it if they had to use the normal smiley face instead?)  (How much do we want to remember Andy's old avatar?) :joker:  (One for the students maybe, but isn't that just Ducky now? What does he think?) :witch: (Again, last time anybody used this?)   (Slightly more useful than the other animal emojis - useful enough to keep?)  (Larger and more irritating than the other laughter emoji)  (Finally, a controversial one - but outside that one April Fool's Day, have we had reason to use him?)
- Probably keep:
- Must keep:
I guess the first question is, does anyone disagree with any of the ones in 'Chuck'? Anyone think one of the others should be moved into 'Chuck'? If you think you might use them at all, let us know and I'll reassign them.

| I like Big Boss/Pirate man, so I'd like to see him stay. |

(Still good for Internet meltdowns)
(I'd be sad to see it go...)
