Hi ladies, we have been working hard on getting the FB group all sorted out so we can move over there! Here is the procedure to join:
1) Comment on THIS POST indicating if you want to be in the private Facebook group. 2) People will then "love it" on your comment if they recognize you as someone who participates in the forum on a regular basis. **Please only "love it" on members that you recognize as actually participating in weekly or monthly threads, not just members that have posted on the posts regarding moving** 3) Once you hit eight "love its," myself or one of the other Facebook moderators (@nsk489@etnyah@acleverusername@trubaby411) will send you a private message through the Bump to verify that you are indeed who you say you are. 4) Verification process: you will send (via Bump private message) a picture showing both your face AND bump, as well as a sign with the date, your Bump username and your Facebook name. Also, send a screenshot of your facebook profile. 4) Once you have sent over verification, you will receive a link to join the FB group. Please note that the link is time-limited (i.e., it expires if it's not used within a few days).
Please note it will take us awhile to get everything moved over, and getting content over there will be slow-going. In the meantime (and to some extent after), this group will continue to run as usual. FB group cut off date will be Jan 31. This will give members who want to join plenty of time to be an active member here first.
@enw1028 not a silly question, I’ve gone weeks before realizing I had a message before because the app doesn’t notify you or tell you where to find them. This app sucks so much!
Once you’ve hit 8 likes, one of us will post in this thread and tag you as well, that way it’ll be easier for you to notice.
PMs go to the inbox, which is found at the top left corner (at least on the iOS app):

Glad to see the move to Facebook is happening, I have problems with the bump all the time lol. Thank to all you ladies who got everything up and running!
Hey @cortsull0724 and @shoogapoff, I PMd you a few days ago! Just alerting you again since there’s been a lot of activity in this thread, in case you missed it.

Re: ***OFFICIAL FACEBOOK MIGRATION POST***
silly question though, how do you find/get notified of messages on the bump? 😅 I’m typically v tech savvy but this app is really the worst haha!

I've been awful at checking in recently so hopefully folks still recognize my username.
@enw1028 I've done the same thing with messages!

I am addressing Christmas cards tonight and just got to the 9/16 and 5/19 families. I look forward to organizing the 4/23 card exchange next year. 😉
