    Can you give first time posters the ability to private message? I know it was a way to weed out spammers and the like but it is first time posters that often have the emergencies, that require the PM function...

    Thank you for all the congratulations and for not posting things like "Oh, NO!!! I am SO outta here! "

    Critter Mom & others, I hope to resolve a lot of the format issues when we do that upgrade. We need to weigh the benefits of accessibility against the dangers of hackers & spammers.

    Tiny Paws, do you have Java script enabled on your computer? That was my problem early on, when I couldn't get smilies.

    On a more serious note, I truly want to take a firm step in the right direction for TSB, and the right direction is Zero Tolerance of individuals who distract us from our business of squirrel-saving with their melodrama, mean-spiritedness or just plain lack of courtesy. There will be a new focus on upholding the Rules; you can bet your next tub of Fox Valley on it.

From now on, though, THE BUCK STOPS HERE. I will rely on my colleagues here to make the most fair, educated decisions possible.....but in the end, it's my baby on the line here and, like all my babies, I will guard it with my life and defend it to my death. Just lettin' yiz know.....

    There will be changes. After 5 years of existence, there are problems and issues and changes in any Board that need to be made, but not overnight. One of the most crucial ones is an upgrade to the V-Bulletin format which is long overdue. Too many kinks and quirks, and I don't just mean those in our membership.

    So, let's go forward and not look back, except when we're researching all the excellent info here. TSB has a mission: to save squirrels in trouble, to connect people who love and care for them, and to spread the knowledge and best practices of squirrel rehabilitation over the vast universe of the internet. Oh yeah, and to have fun while doing it. Squirrels ROCK!

    Good Lord woman!! Have you lost your mind???

    Congratulations

    Congrats IR! This is wonderful news. I know how much this board must mean to you; after all, you have had to deal with a lot as Admin and yet you still put up with us! This is great news for us as a community because with change comes revitalization. I am grateful that Momma Squirrel and Squerly got TSB started. A lot of squirrels have been saved and people like me, who never even knew squirrel rehabbers existed, have found a new passion.

    I am excited for the future of TSB. I support the zero tolerance policy for all and I hope all members can start fresh with an open heart and an open mind. I had given this website address to a nice lady who brought me three squirrels. I thought she would enjoy reading about the wonderful squirrels of TSB and seeing the pictures. This was back in February. Well, between being busy and having computer problems, she never visited. I spoke with her last week and she asked me for the website address. Computer problems are all fixed and she thought she would check us out. IR, my heart sank a bit. I almost didn't want to give it to her because of all the problems, squabbles and drama recently. I had told her how wonderful it was here but when I gave her the address last week, I was so worried she would come on in the middle of some senseless drama and would walk away with the wrong impression of what TSB is! So, this firm step in a new direction sounds great to me!
