Yay! I sent a request but it didn't ask for my TB SN. My name on here and in real life are different so... Should I PM someone?

Same thing happened to me in mobile... I will see if I can message the admin

BTW... I was once in the secret FB group until one day it stopped coming up in my feed . I guess that I either wasn't active enough on the bump or I unfollowed the group accidentally in a moment of sleep deprivation while multitasking with a newborn.

I promise that I'm a real (but shy) O14 bumpie.

If anyone has sent a request but hasnt recieved a message on FB check your other message folder. A couple of people I messaged,it said it would go to that folder. Also TOJ and I are doing our best to keep up with requests so just bear with us! 

Thanks for the info! I was wondering why I hadn't been approved yet.

And the intros begin...? Why would you want to be in a FB group unless you were a reg? Doesn't make sense to me.

Especially after lurking for almost a year!

I was wondering why we were getting several all of a sudden. Now it all makes sense.

This happened on my other BMB, even when we switched to a social group, people who he we commented wanted to join. Some even said they would miss us when they introduced themselves. Which is really weird bc it reinforces the fact they had been reading about us and felt like they knew us, meanwhile we knew nothing about them. Only knew they existed in the abstract since this is a public forum and all.

That always happens and it's weird. It's like they're afraid of losing their entertainment.

That's exactly what it is! So odd

@pnwlover12 When do you plan on joining the party? <:-P </p>

I need to get on a desktop to change some privacy settings, and that practically takes an act of congress. I'm going to try really hard this morning to get a few minutes. I can already tell the board is slower!

Love tit for you coming over...not re the board being slower...

You guys are entertaining and I am disappointed that I dropped off the face of the earth (again) post-baby as it is a really great group.  You are also a very resourceful group and answer lots of questions that people have and they don't get a chance to ask. 

In defense of the randos/lurkers (throwing myself in that group), I will say that for me I wish I was part of a fb group as I would be more likely to participate via mobile.  Having said that - a fb group is more personal and so I totally get not wanting to give access to folks who you don't "know". 

I think we all understand that some moms drop off or have become lurkers after babies have come. If people were active enough before then I would think they'd be fine joining. It's those people who don't ever post, are new, or have like 1-2 posts a month that are of concern. I, for one, recognize you so I don't think of you as a rando.

Oh elf, is this going to work with Messenger? Has anyone successfully gotten a message on Messenger?

Hmm good question. I don't know, did you send a request? if you did and you don't have a message you can PM on here with your name if you want.

Yes, they have gotten them. In messenger there is an icon that shows either the messenger symbol or the FB symbol and I have gotten plenty of responses from both.

@dredford, pretty sure this was meant for the randoms thread

I sent a request but haven't heard anything, would the message go to that "other" inbox? I'm on mobile so I don't see that message box.

@swizz09 Send me a PM with your name.

I got the message through the messenger app, no problems there.

Also, thank you @TheOtherJacobsons‌ & @FamousEa‌ for taking this on for us!

I'm annoyed with FB. It appears that ALL of my photos are still visible to the public even when I've changed privacy settings. I don't know that I want all of my pics accessible to people in the FB group. I might be out on this one.

You have to change the settings of every pic.

Yeah, ain't nobody got time for that...I wish we could all just stay on TB. I much prefer selecting which photos I'm comfortable with sharing. I hate FB anyway. I hope my friends in the computer will still play with me on TB.

Did you try changing them on each picture? That's how I have ended up changing the public setting on past profile and cover photos.

I have so many pictures. It would take me hours. Even if I had that much time available I don't think that I would want to do it.

You can change the privacy settings of each album all at once with the exception of timeline and cover photos. Those you do have to change individually.

I was worried about this too which is why I'm not joining. I was seriously tempted though.

My only hangup are the people I don't know. No offense to the newbs, but we've taken so long getting to know each other, that it feels ok to be in a FB group. But any lurker or troll can click the link and say they are part of tje group. Look how many randos post in the birth announcement thread.

I agree with this and the secret thing. But only because I'm a crazy hermit and don't want people knowing who I am.

I want EVERYONE to know who I am.

You can change them in one swoop by album. The ones that you have to change separately are cover and profile photos.

NO. YOU ARE BOTH COMING. I will change your settings myself. I will hack into your intarwebs and I will do it.

Honestly I should go through and do it too. I have been slacking. I'm normally good with privacy on fb.

Is it bad I'm mostly worried about saying something that pisses someone off? I have an uncommon last name and I don't want any crazies hunting me down. On TB, I can be snarky and all they have to go on is my sn.

Why am I so paranoid?

serenbach

I just read this and now I feel awkward, I had or have no intention of trying to get in on your facebook group (I agree that would be a bit weird and creepy) I only re-intro'd because I saw a few new intros and it made me think it was a good idea, and I'm bored of just reading and not commenting... Now I look like a massive creeper, bad timing!

sabby2

@pnwlover12 Me too. The world can be a creepy place and I'm responsible for dd's safety and privacy.

I recognize you!

Now I'm confused because there's a self-proclaimed lurker in the FB group.

No seriously you're cautious for a good reason. I've been really apprehensive about the Facebook too because I've actually had someone stalk my shit before. She still does sometimes and things I thought were private it's like noooope! Hopefully my stuff isn't visible to everyone. You should be aware, there are crazy ass people out there! This is why my daughter's photos aren't anywhere.You're the only person I've sent one to.

Saragoeswest

I appreciate the FB group being set up. I'm surprised by how many people are in it! I didn't realize we had 80+ posters still. I still like TB the best for now just BC of how the threads are organized but I could see FB replacing the function of the Randoms thread.

Yeah just curious really! Everyone has a different definition of lurker - I wanna see if I recognize her name. She isn't on the document of names I don't think!

If you're talking about the self proclaimed one in the FB group, she's not a lurker. She has a pretty long and consistent post history.

MrsSarahRenee

@TheOtherJacobsons‌ I figured that was the case. That's why I checked the list but she didn't give us her bump sn. Booooo! How can I study appropriately if people don't update the study materials?!?!

TheOtherJacobsons

I don't know about that. We don't just look to see if they are active on TB, we look to see if they have participated on this board. (as well as others in case of spies )

She has 19 threads started, all on O14 since January. She hasn't posted on our board since November 1. Maybe that's why she thinks she is a lurker.
