Announcements

A highly requested feature that I just figured out how to implement. Now you can list your deck collections and wishlists within your profile! Have fun!

Good morning Tarot Family! As our home grows ever larger, and we have people from all over, I think it's important to bring forth a rule (that should have been there from the beginning, honestly!) 10. We take privacy seriously here. Do not share PM's, or any other information given in confidentiality, including off-site client readings, or anything in which a person's information is identifiable. This isn't just unethical, it can also raise legal concerns. We would not wish to have our tarot home shut down. Don't share readings done off-site without the client's permission to. If given permission, please remove all identifying c…

Dear TT&M members it has been a very sad day today because not only did we need to remove Night Shade from being a moderator but we had to ban her on top of it. It came to our attention today that she sent out some vicious PMs declaring she was a satanist. I am asking everyone here that if you receive such a PM from anyone, to please report it immediately. She had multiple IPs and we are in the process of banning them all but new ones might appear so I'd like everyone to know your cooperation will be most appreciated! This is a very sad day for the staff and the forum.

Happy September, Tarot Family! This kitty has been playing around in the back end, adjusting things, adding new goodies, and working to streamline our community! I'll try my best to list the changes. Forum Fees Donations Invision Services changed the way they charge, so now we are saving 101 USD yearly! The donation bar has been updated to reflect this. Yay! Member Blogs Introducing Private Blogs! We've heard your calls for more privacy, and so we are allowing folks TT&M Family and above to have 1 Public Blog and 1 Private Blog. Blogs can have their own categories within them, so enjoy messing with those featu…

Your best source of news should there be another downtime will be our new Twitter! https://twitter.com/thetarotforum Please give us a bookmark or a follow so in the dark, you won't be left in the dark! ;)

Unfortunately, I've had to roll back the forum an hour due to a glitch in a plugin I added then uninstalled. If you were on in the last few mins, you saw the kind of error it was giving off, making the forum impossible to use. I tried repairing the files first, which didn't work as planned. I greatly apologize for any lost posts made in the last hour, especially anything long such as readings and journals. I pray that none of that was lost. I hope that you can forgive me! I'll be a bit more careful when playing with the plugins next time. -Little Fang

The chat is now open to everyone! I am on duty for awhile today so stop by and say hi!

New members may not realize that our wonderful Forum members have created our own Tarot Deck! Below you can find some flip-throughs so you may see all the gorgeous artwork and consider buying one of your own! Grab your copy today! Bordered Edition Borderless Edition

Edit: All errors should now be resolved. If you continue to have errors, please do a full refresh of the page (shift+f5 on windows with chrome, google hard refresh for your specific computer and browser). If you notice errors after having done this, leave a post in the Tech Support section and I'll take a look! Edit #2: We also lost the Hide Blocked Members Posts plug in, which was causing guests to not be able to see the forum. Good afternoon! I upgraded the forum to PHP 8.0, which will make for a faster site that can receive updates in the future as the old backend wasn't going to be supported anymore. Unfortunately that los…

TT&M is very happy to announce that we are fully staffed now! Please give @LoveLightPeace a warm welcome as our new exchange moderators! ❤️

Tarot, Tea and Me is happy to announce our two newest moderators. Please welcome Raggydoll and Swedishfish to the staff! Raggydoll is our new global moderator and will be perusing the forum while Swedishfish will primarily be in the exchanges. We are very happy to now have the staffing we have needed so badly for several months now. So please, stop by and say hi to them! <3

I'm trying something new. In order to protect the community from people joining just to obtain free readings in exchanges, or to promote without putting effort in elsewhere, I've added a 5 post minimum before accessing certain sections. I feel that 5 posts is fair. You can post an intro, welcome somebody else, post something you like about tarot, wish somebody a happy birthday, and share your favorite deck. Easy 5 posts for you! 8) If anybody experiences any glitches regarding this, please let me know asap! Post to the assistance forum or PM me. Thanks for being a part of this little experiment!

We are aware that several members have received notifications that their posts need to be approved by staff. Please know that this is nothing personal and it is not because of anything wrong that you did. We are looking into the issue and hope to fix it as soon as possible 🙂 Also, it might take us a while to keep up with approving posts, so we are really grateful for your patience!

There's a new software version that will fix a lot of back-end bugs and other small things. Everything will be fine, but the forum may be down for less than half an hour and I wanted to give everyone the alert. Thank you!

Hi friends! Just wanted to make a quickie notice. Before assisting with a reading interpretation, double check that it's: (in order of importance) 1. In the Personal Tarot Readings section (feel free to report it if it isn't!) 2, The poster has interpreted all the cards themselves. 3. If the first two don't apply, please don't help with the reading quite yet! We appreciate our talented readers helping one another out, but in order to protect your time and abilities, we have these rules in place. 🙂 We are not a site for free readings, and we want to keep our integrity as a learning community. If you are new to TT&M, welcome! …

We understand that the departure of Saturn Celeste has been a shock to the community, and we are aware that people are feeling confused and upset. It is only natural to wonder why something like this happened. The Staff have been really busy these last few days trying to organize and handle the situation as best we can. We now wish to make a short comment on what has transpired. A few days ago, Saturn Celeste was removed as an admin because of multiple abuses of privacy. There had been serious complaints made, which I thoroughly investigated. We will not give any details regarding those complaints, due to confidentiality and respect. Please know that we have take…

Sorry for the influx of annoucements! This one is important though. If you get a forum message via email, please DO NOT reply to the email itself. The email includes this message: IMPORTANT: Remember, this is just a notification. Please do not reply to this email. These emails get forwarded to the forum admin email, which gets forwarded to my email... Thanks! Little Fang

Please note: this new rule is under review. Please bear with us for an update. Thank you all for your co-operation. Recently we have seen a rise in third party readings posted on the forum, these are readings for a party who is neither the sitter or reader. We have no way of checking if ethically the third party is okay with being in this reading and in other cases people have nearly identified unnamed other people at the centre of readings. This puts the forum in a difficult place both ethically to do with privacy and legally. We don't have the resources to check that there is permission from each third party in posted readings. As of now we have …

Due to the growth in our forum, we are in search of a couple of new people to join our staff! <3 These are volunteer positions with no pay, but if you take part in the forum a lot and know it in and out, the extra help is loved and appreciated! The Exchange Moderator only monitors the Exchange boards. - 1 position open 1. Please make sure you know the rules in and out, or can reference them when confused. I ask that you have a decent amount of experience in how the exchanges are supposed to work, as well as their specific rules. 2. Make sure people are providing feedback, and that both parties are doing a proper exchange. 3. Be friendly and welcoming to all …

Full for now! Keep an eye out for future opportunities! Well! I knew this forum was gonna grow a little, but the speed of which it did made me realize I'm going to need a couple of people who can watch over it while I'm away. This is all of our community, after all! This is a global moderator position of all areas. 1. You make sure everyone follows the rules, replying or deleting posts if needed. 2. Move threads that are in the wrong places. 3. Welcome new members and overall just keep things orderly. Sound like something you can do? Please fill out the form below and message it to me. Please don't be mad if you don't get picked! There may be other rou…

NOTE: If you have a subscription already you will be grandfathered in! As long as you remain an active subscriber, the price increase will NOT affect you! Hello TT&M family! Your continued support of our forum means a lot to us, and we thank anybody who has ever donated or subscribed. I had experimented a little with various ways to increase funding on the forum, including ads (which I've now removed, they don't bring in much!) and donations (hit or miss, but I love you all who have donated!) In the end, the most stable means of guaranteeing forum money is through subscriptions. We hope that through the growth the forum has gone through, as well as the …

Good evening! I know that there have been some back end issues with the servers here. I am doing the best I can to figure out how to fix this (all while having COVID-19, mind you!) and I do ask for your patience. I know it's stressful, especially when we are all at home stuck and bored and in need of community. I'm looking into options, which may mean a potential migration to a new host. Should this happen, I will update this announcement so I can close for maintenance. Nothing will be lost, and we will be keeping the same software. This is still TBD, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm actively trying to figure out what the s…

Hello Tarot Family! If you check out the Rules & Information section, you'll see we have a new guide in there. This guide discusses what sections each member group is allowed to join in on, and what requirements are necessary in order to be in that member group. View it HERE. Also as a spam prevention measure, I have made it so you need 5 posts before you can post a link in the forum. This keeps people from joining just to advertise, and also thwarts some bots as well. Soon we will have some nicer written rules for you. As always, keep an eye on the Recent Posts in order to see the new and positive changes happening to keep this community awesome! Th…

If you are a paid and current subscriber, PLEASE POST HERE. It'll be faster to toss you into the group that way.

Good morning! (At least, here in central time.) Due to some concerns, I have placed the Adopt-A-Deck section, with an included Trading Fun & Games forum, behind a subscriber-only wall. This should protect our members a little as only those who are willing to donate a little will be able to partake. If there are any other forum sections you'd appreciate some extra pay protections, please post to the Assistance forum. I know this will improve the privacy of our family here. Thank you! -Little Fang
