I want tickers and avatars .... I appreciate others may have an opinion on this, which is lovely, and good for you. I'm not going to be dissuaded though.

The site is a smorgasbord board of pointless lary coloured sales pitch and bumph.

It's bursting with venomous spite and bilious stupidness some days (amongst the stalwart niceness soldiering on regardless) , so on those days I'd like to see a spot of cheer.

A unicorn crapping a rainbow, or a humorous meerkat picture with a whimsical caption.

I want kittens and puppies and flowers.

I want tickers telling me how long it was since the poster last handed out grips.

We've been told Mumsnet is moving on.

If it is, I want the the future to be sparkly and twee to the fucking max.

What would be nice is if we could have a choice of pastel background colours

And those cutesy emocions! They are great because if you are an adult woman, having a range of "don't take me seriously, I'm really just a kewpie" emocions is marvelous.

HoneyDragon · 22/05/2014 10:43

How about coloured thread titles so you could have a Brown Klaxon to warn against poo

TantrumsAndBalloons · 22/05/2014 10:59

Yes!!

I want sparkly, glittery tickers

It's been 7 minutes since I last rolled my eyes at a thread

It's been 4 minutes since I spotted a troll

It's been 11 minutes since I felt like a terrible parent.

I would like to be able to edit other people's posts and tickers

I want colour. And glitter. And sparkles.

It's been 1 hour since someone mention bullying or cliques or royalty

TantrumsAndBalloons · 22/05/2014 11:01

It's been 30 seconds since someone mentioned entitled

It's been 1 day since someone noticed a baby drinking come out of a bottle.

HoneyDragon · 22/05/2014 11:02

MNHQ

ARE YOU TAKING THIS ON BOARD?

Hmmmmmmn

Are are you all trying to look really busy in the hope someone else will deal with it?

The only acceptable answer is

Yes Honeydragon, as always you are right. We've contacted tech and it will all be rolled out by next Wednesday.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 22/05/2014 11:12

Its been 5 minutes since I failed to proof read my posts Grin

I meant COKE

FourForksAche · 22/05/2014 11:19

gasps at tantrum's epic typo Grin

FourForksAche · 22/05/2014 11:20

Tortoise, that looks disturbingly like comic sans [narrows eyes]

DrankSangriaInThePark · 22/05/2014 11:23

Actually, I think, on reflection, that all things considered, and at the end of the day, the whole site should have comic sans as its default, n'est-ce pas?

....and Tantrums, leaving aside the typos, if it's been as long as 4 minutes since you've seen a troll, then you ain't putting the hours in girl.

FourForksAche · 22/05/2014 11:38

it's a well known fact* that comic sans can induce rage and hallucinations when used in the wrong hands.

???????????3 months, 2 days since I last gave a fuck ???????????

RandallFloyd · 22/05/2014 12:13

Oh Fenton, I am so steeling that one!

(I can't work out how to put emojis on here.)

Can we have hashtags too?
I love a good hashtag
