Maybe we could have an already written explanation to copy and paste of why it's not considered so polite for someone to announce their BFP on this board when they haven't been posting here. And one for the "AF is 5 days late but the HPT says I'm not pregnant. Am I?" ones.
Seriously, it would be so...efficient.
Re: Should we have an "automated response"?
BFP#1: 11/15/2010 * Missed M/C 12/28 * D&C 12/29/2010
BFP#5 12/26/2017 *SURPRISE* Due 09/02/2018
hahaha. Great idea.
My first few days lurking I was thinking so many people were being a little bit rude, but after spending soooo much time on this board I totally get it. It does get old very quickly.
A mad-libs type response would be fab.
Same here. It's amazing how the same questions can be asked EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
A while back, someone suggested simply saying "Yes." to that question with no further text. It's quite efficient and rather funny.

This exactly.
This board is full of the most patient women of all time!! I have to sift through all the junk just to find something interesting (ie. a post that helps me get to know people better!)
At least it makes me feel smart
If only there was a way to make someone answer a brief survey before being allowed to access this board...
1) Have you been to this board before? If yes, please proceed to question #2. If not, #3.
2) If so, how many times? If greater than 20, you have been granted access. If less than 20, proceed to #3.
3) Did you take a pregnancy test and is it positive? If yes, BANNED from TTGP, please see First Tri. If not, you are being directed to the TTGP board rules. Please read and acknowledge you understand and will follow these rules. After you do this you can now access the TTGP boards.
Happy bumping!
Many times ... i have heard people saying they wanted a few sticky posts up at the top...
Newbie Info...
Tips on posting..
Answers to the EXTREMELY frequently asked questions...
etc...
that would be nice.
I still don't feel like I'm known much on here, but I've been posting quote a bit. I don't want to spam so I just comment when I see fit. I'm still afraid people would be like "...who?" if I posted a bfp! ha.

hey Fay, there IS a sticky post---you just have to order the posts according to last post date.
But agreed, it would be nice if it stayed up there no matter HOW you organized it.
As for having a 'set' response. I'm against it b/c I love the opportunity to snark and I enjoy reading the other posters replies. But YOU can have a set answer. "Yes" is always good, as Bex pointed out.
I'm a little late on this Patty, but your siggy video thingy is hilarious and awesome!
