ETA: This isn't meant snarky at all.
I don't really understand warning people that you have a siggy pic in the subject line of your post. I understand that you might do that if you are posting something on a loss board and have a pic of a brand new baby in your siggy, but it seems that people are warning about EVERYTHING. Someone posted on a board "ticker (loss) warning"- isn't telling them that it's there the same as letting them see it? I've seen this on multiple boards.
I don't understand. Maybe I missed something?

Re: s/o other boards and whatnot
I don't visit other boards but it sounds like another way for women to jump all over each other for nonsensical reasons.
And you should have warned me that your son is wearing a hat in your avatar pic. My son can't wear hats!!!!!!!
<--sarcasm not meant to offend actual hatless babies

If we get invaded by an IF or loss board, I'm blaming you.
;op
Some boards just have different ways of showing respect. This is one of them. I can't say I agree with it, and I'd probably be flamed to high hell if I wandered into one and didn't announce my siggy.
See? THIS (and our mutual love for Happy Endings' Max) is why we're homies.

Oh, I totally thought that as soon as I hit "post", but I was just curious if there was an opinion I hadn't considered.

I lurk on so many boards.. it's kinda creepy
But really, I only see this on the loss and IF boards, and either I didn't notice or haven't seen when they write something like a ticker loss warning, but that would be odd, for sure. imo.
Also, in all of my lurking, I've seen women with big old papaya tickers continue to post in the loss boards and not get flamed because although they forgot [or didn't know?] to post a warning, they are still very mindful of the OP's subject and are respectful of it.
Me too! haha

Like if I wanted to post a ? about xyz, the post title would say:
"? re: xyz ****WARNING: SIGGY PIC**"

alright.
No disrespect to women who are struggling with infertility or loss or any other terrible burdens, but I don't get it either. This website is called The Bump. It is based around children. I will not apologize or warn people that I have a child (and a ticker).
If one is that sensitive to the presence of the photo of a child on a website dedicated to children, there are some larger concerns there.
That said, I was upset to see a photograph of a stillborn child in someone's siggy. I know that's selfish, but I feel if a warning is due anywhere on this website, it's when you have a photograph of a dead child in your siggy. When I was pregnant it gave me nightmares. I can't fathom the misery of someone who has lost their child, but posting a photo is definitely not the way I would handle it.
