i am trying to redecorate my house after taking down christmas decorations & keep getting the message you cant place the multi-tile addon on the east edge. i cant replace my stone tables, large forge, water trough, aquarium on the east side of my house where there are no walls. is this something that is going to be fixed or is a new house design required?

you might get a better chance at answers if you post this in the Homes and Castles forum - those players know EVERYTHING - it's quite amazing 
thank you i will post there also but i was hoping for a response from a developer. as a thread in this forum on 12/17/08 list the message as a new string but doesnt give any other information as to why. i was wondering if this was another oops due to the new publish and will be fixed as the tables i didnt move are still on the east edge.

Foundation changes = miracle cure a lot of the time.
Also, check to make sure you have no (what I call) noise making items (ie: stautes or parrots) locked down/placed on the levels above or below where you're trying to place the items. For some reason I have yet to understand, it doesn't allow you to place items directly below/above things like parrots or phillip steeds or other things you can perhaps turn off and on. You can of course remove the noise maker, place the item, and then return the noise maker to it's original location.

thank you everyone for the suggestions. i have tried changing foundation and have removed everything on display and put it in storage. i still get the same message. i am now going to try a new design and see what happens. i appreciate your help with this.
was hoping for a reply to this question in the FoF, but since we didn't get one, maybe bumping it back to the top will help a bit?
for decorators this is a big deal, so if you're not a decorator please just move along... every facet of the game has it's issues, this happens to be one of mine
if I have an 18x18 house I want to be able to decorate all 18 tiles, know what I mean?

Oh I didn't even think about submitting it as an FoF question. Hrm!
I'm kinda curious how the hell anyone could believe this is a bug when they specifically coded a new text string into the client to describe it. They probably had a good reason for it, but there also was probably a better fix for whatever it was they were patching up.
here is the reply i got from ea customer support about the multi tile addon issue.
"Greetings,
Thank you for contacting Ultima Online support.
Visiting your house in-game I have found a few matters that can be problematic with the design of the house itself. Walls are missing or not used at all, characters can walk off the house harming themselves and the likes.
Game Masters cannot assist you in the re-design of your home, however I would strongly suggest to try different house design approaches. I would also like to invite you to read our Knowledge Base on game matters of general game information: http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=5904 would be a good place for you to start; http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1929 can also give tips on what to look out for.
Even if this design worked for you in the past, I can sadly not suggest anything else with the current houses design.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

basically the response was build walls or build a bar.
this answer did not address my issue with not being able to place the multi tile addons on the east edge. yes on 1st and 2nd floor and the top i left out the walls on the east side. i created one big arch on the east side of my house since you lose that space for decorating if you use walls all the way across. i used the large stone tables, large forge, water trough, and aquarium to prevent me or anyone else from falling off my house. the tables fit just fine on the south side that has no walls but still wont let me place on the east side. thanks to all who are trying to help get some sort of response as to why this was changed after so many years of customizing houses and being able to use the east edge of the house. i too would like to use all tiles for displaying my goods/rares.

Maybe because some of us didn't know that? And why would they do such a thing anyways?

She's saying UO gives the error message "you cant place the multi-tile addon on the east edge" which is completely new, and couldn't have been a bug, instead of the old "you can't place that there," or whatever they currently use.
only the devs really know why...

House design nerf ftw.
just made it worse, debii..... I tried an apple tree on test and got the message "you can't place the multi-tile addon at the east edge!" yes, just like that, with the exclamation point, like it's hollering at me
odd thing is, won't let me place the apple tree, but it *will* let me place the large fish net... go figure.....
one tile in, the tree places, at the very east tile, it does not

Remember a few months ago that we were told that a particular publish was going to include a change to keep people from casting nature's furies into houses? I seem to recall that the change made it onto Test Center and some diligent soul (Petra perhaps?) tested it and posted that it was still possible to get the nature's furies into the house.
I wonder if this change is part of making houses fury-proof. I haven't had furies cast into my houses on a regular basis, but it seems as if it's awfully easy currently for someone to get them in through the east wall of the house. Perhaps this change is going to prevent this situation and/or casting fields into houses from outside.

I wish they'd fix furies then rather than hosing decorators. Bah.
I'm thinking the decorators outnumber the people annoyed by incoming furies
perhaps a show of force is required....... and in keeping with tradition, we'll simply keep repeating our sorrowful tale in this thread, perhaps threatening with closure of accounts, or storming the castle on one shard producing a crash..... I'm not good at militant things, you others will need to come up with a plan..... but yeah, I think there's more of us than them
then again, I could be wrong, I very often am
