Newbies and Lurkers, for the love of God....

....create an avatar!!! There's been an influx of very lovely ladies to this board lately, and id love to keep track of things you've said about yourselves, comments you've made, and just generally get a better idea of your personalities...but to be honest, you keep turning into a blur of wedding rings, white shoes, wedding cakes and glasses of champagne and telling you apart is giving me a migraine. It's especially important for the mobile bumpies since we can't see anything you may have added to your siggy either. I know it's annoying that you have to sign in on a computer to do it, but I promise you it will help us get to know you a lot better when we can remember you. Don't worry about it being cute or funny, literally just pick anything. A pic of you, your cat, your dog, someone else's dog, the "save" icon from Microsoft word...anything. Kthanxbi!!

Also, please read the blog entitled: New here? Read me first.

It will answer questions about abbreviations and common pregnancy symptoms as well as give you a step by step guide to editing your siggy, avatar, tickers, etc.

True that @Eltrain5! Are you usually mobile? Cause I sent you a pm and you never pm me back

ElTrain5 · February 2014

@mommyp710 Ah! I am

Checking it right now!

owlcup · February 2014

Thank you! I'm only on mobile and I just assume anyone with a bump avatar is a drive-by. :P

ElTrain5 · February 2014

@mommyp710 Just replied, sorry for the delay! Still best-labor-buddies???

ElTrain5 · February 2014

Wait...what is he saying!? I don't read lips!!!

Mizoo · February 2014

I'll get around to a more unique siggy at some point - I'm alright with being the "grey cat lady" for now ;-)

@eltrain5 Are you talking about my gif? "No, no, of course not... Yes." Gotta love Dean Winchester.

Phew! It first I thought he was saying "Noooo Nooooo..." kinda like the maid lady from Family Guy. And then my pregnant brain kicked in and thought it was a part of @Mommyp710's post, like in response to my question, and then I got all flustered and was like "OMG SOMEONE VALIDATE MY FEEELINGSSS.". It's been....a long friggin day folks. My apologies.

Mobile Newbies: You CAN change your avatar on your phone.

Go to your browser on your phone.

Login
Go to your profile.
Next to your avatar there is a CHANGE AVATAR button, click it.
Pick a picture from your phone's gallery.
Click save
It will take a few moments to see it on mobile but it will show up.

Congrats now you have something for us to remember you by!

Sooooo... Confession: since I changed my avatar I sometimes forget what it looks like. I can't tell if I've "loved" something so I love it twice and negate it.

I just changed mine! Did it work?

crys0124 · February 2014

ugh, nope! I will try again....

I feel so old compared to doing this on the knot years ago...

readyornot14 · February 2014

you ask and you shall receive!

I made that avatar to look pretty much like me... I'm a little more cheerful though!

coffee89 · February 2014

I finally got around to doing it thanks to this post.

ahopkins0419 · February 2014

@ ElTrain5 I hope your migraine is relieved...

You can update your avatar and siggy via mobile/ipad - get off your app and go to the web version, click my bump (on the tool bar with a green background) and "edit my avatar and siggy".
Heres the link to get you started https://forums.thebump.com

Hi girls I introduced myself on the PgAL thread, I've been lurking a while so finally started to contribute. I'm due June 16th and this will be my first baby (3rd pregnancy) so I've been a bit nervous to jump in. I've seen some of the losses and heartache some mamas are going through and my heart truly goes out to those who have gone through these terrible things.

I followed the directions above but I think I took a wrong turn somewhere because I'm an engagement ring for some reason

k318 · February 2014

Hi ladies

I am not a newbie and I post occasionally but I have finally put up an avatar. Sorry that took so long!

Edit: I don't know why it isn't showing up? Is there a lag between updating on the full site and it showing up on mobile?

It takes a few min to show up

laurenmichaels · February 2014

Never even thought about puting up an avatar but thanks to this post.... It's up.

ElTrain5 · February 2014

@afurnace totally! Although now I have a neck cramp from turning my head

j/k cute pic! I'm glad so many ppl added photos. I'm remembering y'all better already!

hlp2709 · February 2014

Just to let everyone know I have been trying to change my pic. for a while and not really sure what I am doing wrong. I have fallowed the right steps and something is just not work on my computer right I am sorry that I have not been able to get it to work. I need to start getting ready for the day but I will try to work on this later today when I get home from taking our pic.

ElTrain5 · February 2014

No sweat @hlp2709! It's not a requirement or anything, just helps us to put a "face" to the name

have you tried the instructions for changing it on your mobile? A couple people posted them in this thread. (I did it on a computer, but it might be worth giving it a shot on mobile)

hlp2709 · February 2014

It seems to be working know on my iPad but on the computer early it was not working. Odd

ElTrain5 · February 2014

@hlp2709 I know when I changed mine it took awhile to update. Same thing for when I added a signature too. Looks great!

Danischn · February 2014

Since you asked. I just tried... Did it work?!?

Edit: nope. I will log out for a bit

Edit #2. It's me!!!

MrsAy · February 2014

I tried doing it from my cell phone. Let's see if it works.

rastrau · February 2014

Thanks to this post I updated my avatar to something a bit more personal! I'm not new, but was kind of 'whatever' when it came to choosing one - I didn't realize that the generic Bump ones can be annoying

Thanks for the push to personalize.
