@gingermama29 this new admin doesn't seem to do that. Someone forgot to train them on that step!

@photographerwife LOL right? Like we're all gonna be on the edge of our seats waiting to see if a complete stranger is KU. Really takes my mind off my own issues with TTC, lemme get the popcorn!!

I feel like I say this every time but ever Peggy posting pee sticks is like: 

And I'm over here like: 

But seriously - WHY! Do these people have no friends to share these with? I can name at least 5 humans I could send a pic of that to, it baffles me why some people feel the need to blast them to internet strangers. 

gingermama29

@mvt2003 plus I don't feel like it's difficult to read a pee stick. The directions are right on the box (and the stick). If thry can't tell, test again another day. Like how is this difficult? Why do they need to ask internet strangers?

mvt2003

@gingermama29 I think it's something about the element of making someone else look at it. It's bizarre, but maybe it's like how my dog likes to show people her favorite stuffed toys!  

Not my pup but very similar: 

gingermama29

@mvt2003 hahaha we should all post puppies showing toys for the next Peggy pee stick thread 

inthewoods23

@mvt2003 maybe they're looking for "unbiased" eyes (or "biased"?) to tell them it is positive?

So we're sensitive snowflakes but we can't use -waffle- gifs? Also yeah, new admin didn't delete the pee sticks when closing the post.

Anyone else notice that our recent GBCB (goodbye cruel bump) intro'ed on Jan BMB?

inthewoods23

@krash_ hmmmmm yes

manillabar

@krash_ verrrrry interesting...

also is everyone else still having to use their notifications to get to ttgp? I still can't get it just from clicking the link on the community page.

> Uuummmm, I’m back. I think??
> I’ve had a friend watching from the wings in case things went sideways, but they weren’t able to access the site today either. Very strange.
> I emailed TB support & they said I shouldn’t be banned, then they sent me a password reset. But I’ve been locked out during a newbie waiting period of several hours & learned a lot:
> 1) The instructions told me to “browse, lurk, & get to know TB traditions while waiting for the ability to post”. Nope, I couldn’t access any groups or read any rules. So that may be one reason why nobody reads the first post at the top of the page.
> 2) I could use the Search function to stalk TTGP posts, which eventually led me to this thread, which is how I learned I was banned. Hahaha!!
> 3) I got no warnings or messages before getting kicked out. Just woke up & couldn’t access any boards or threads across all of TB.
> 3) All my inbox messages are gone, so I think I’m back to newbie status.

> Idk if somebody’s #stillmad, or if I got reported for posting something involving religion, or if TB just made a mistake. But I’m glad to be back nonetheless! THANK YOU all for the kind words/righteous indignation on my behalf.😄 Y’all are seriously the best friends I’ve never met.💗

*I am using the Quote feature but it isn't looking quite right as I type & I won't be able to edit after, so here goes...

Soooo, TB really messed up when banning my old account. Even though I’d wiped my history and cookies on all devices, they somehow still linked old account with new account. When I posted that quoted post above, I was doing it from my supposedly banned account. I was able to log into my original account (that did not say “banned” on my end) with my newly reset password & it showed my original profile pic. Once I posted that message above, it switched to the newly created account & pic, & wouldn’t allow me to edit the post. TB hasn’t been able to fix the issue (surprise?) or been responsive since my first email, so I’ve cancelled that new account. Even after disabling & cancelling it & using a completely different email and password to login, it still linked back to that account above. TB has some serious work to do on their back end. It’s a joke. And scary how much info they have on all of us users! Be careful.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with me through this nonsense!💗 Not holding my breath for TB to fix it, so here I am back at newbie status. I’m not the type to curse those who cause trouble, but for the one who caused this mess...

<I’d insert a funny meme of cat with a fist in the air saying “Curse you, villain!”>
But alas, my newbie account doesn’t allow that option. Sigh...

@keikiluck that is SO ANNOYING!! I can’t believe you haven’t had any help from admin. I feel like it would be an easy fix if someone would actually do it. And if it wasn’t a mistake and someone did report, it sounds like they did not do their normal protocol with warnings and such- which means they should be able to restore everything. UGH

kpearse99

@keikiluck sadly, I am not surprised at all that TB messed this up and that they aren’t able to fix it. It does baffle me that a company that’s been around for so long still doesn’t have their ish together!! 

shlecks

@kpearse99 Right? That baffles me too. Last time I was on TB regularly was 2016 and I thought “oh man it’s been 4 years I bet they’ve revamped and made everything work so well by now!” Nope. It’s the exact same. 

mvt2003

OH NO!!!!! I had a FFFC for today and I forgot to post it, and no point in starting that thread when Friday is almost over!  

I'll set a reminder on my phone for next week.  

inthewoods23

@mvt2003 make a weekend version? FFWC? 😆

photographerwife

Just wanted to hop on here to send any good vibes/ prayers/ peace to anyone who might be struggling with Mother’s Day tomorrow. You are all fantastic women and I’m thinking about you. Having or not having children does not define you. You are worthy. ♥️♥️♥️

keikilove

OK, closing the loop on this.  

I’m REALLY BACK this time!🤪

Have to shoutout @BumpAdmin @rosesareblue242 for making this happen.😄

Once my new account underwent the 3-day waiting period for creating inbox messages and tagging, I was able to inbox rosesareblue and she took care of it stat. I will be solely using this account. Please disregard any other usernames. 

*But I am going to change my pic because I liked the new one I was using. Thanks, friends!
