the bump help...and an introduction

threegsthreegs
in 3rd Trimester

First let me introduce myself since I've been dabbing in here for a couple of weeks now but don't know anyone just yet.

We are expecting our first baby boy May 22nd and have two beautiful girls who are 9 & 11yrs old. It's been quite awhile since my last pregnancy so the boards really help especially now in the home stretch.

I want to post pics and go wild on here but I see that its a bit more difficult to do then theknot, am I alone on this one? So I have questions:

1-Does anyone have bios and do others really look at them? My favorite part of theknot was the planning boards, vendor referrals and product suggestions but that doesn't seem to happen here.

2-How do I actually keep track of the thread I "track"? I choose to track a thread but then have no idea how to find it off my dashboard.

3-Besides the ticker I have found that customizing my siggy has been difficult. Any simple ways to do it?

Okay, I think that's it for now. TIA!

    Hi and welcome!!! Ok. First of all, I have a bio, but I really don't think anybody looks at it. Alot of us just come on here and go straight to 3rd tri and just bump our brains out. I never really "tracked" a thread before, so I can't help with that. And as for pics, I would upload a pic using tinypic.com and resize it for message boards. Then place that in your signature box in your profile. Don't make the pic too big though. That gets annoying having to scroll down forever. Well, I guess that's it for me. And again welcome to 3rd tri!!

    Welcome!

    Posting a pic in a post on the bump is different than the knot, but IMO it's actually easier. Click on the tree icon in the message tool bar. Enter the web address of the image, change the size if necessary, and click post or okay or whatever.

    I personally don't look at other people's bios as much as on the knot, but I have one... so take that for what it's worth.

    I think you'll find this helpful: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/blogs/new_arrivals/pages/faqs-on-the-bump-community.aspx and this https://ideas.thenest.com/generic/generic/Articles/nest-boards-faq.aspx I don't know why their FAQs are so hard to find.
