Exciting news about a new community feature!

Coming soon: Social Groups! 

What are social groups? This feature will allow members to create personalized groups, invite-only groups and private groups on The Bump. 

There will be three types of groups users can create. Social groups can be 1) public; 2) invite only to post but visible to all; or 3) private - invite only to post and invite only to view.

One thing to note: Social groups will not be moderated by The Bump, but it is expected you follow the same community rules while in the groups. Private or not, we urge you not to share any personal information.

Look out for this new feature next week!

    How exactly will a public social group be any different from the existing boards? Also, it all sounds like a bad idea.

    What, are we in high school again? Sounds like an opportunity for the "cool kids" get invited to a "invite only" group so they can talk about the uncool kids. Hahaha

    @tourqeyes - I actually learned something today about TB! If you hover over a pinned post, you'll get the little gear icon and you can actually make the pinned post go away. It's awesome. I've been doing it all over the place just because I can.

    As to TB and this idea:

    ETA: looks like it only works for some announcements though but not others? Whatevs - at least you can get rid of some of them.

    OMG, that gif! I think I'm a little in love with you

    I'm imagining myself being the only one not invited to a group and then coming into this birth month board and chatting with myself about pregnancy (cause id be the only one left) ... That's just me sarcastic (and obviously dealing with some leftover dodgeball insecurity from elementary school) but I really do not see what the point of this idea is
    Brhahahaha! I agree. I'll stay with you @JMSbaby2014!!!

    I feel like these "social groups" are going to be a popularity contest of all the "cool" girls. I'm having flashbacks of high school now... fml..

    That's actually a great idea @JMSbaby2014. Could we have individual groups or settings so we can have a place to go and be by ourselves? I'm thinking chat rooms, limit: 1 person.

    Is there a FB group for this month board?  I am not on here very much. I have a board for Jan 2012 which we've been together for a while. It works.

    Sounds good. I think we started ours about 4 months before we were due.  I'm looking forward to meeting any NY/NJ ladies. That's always fun.

    I have no idea who you are. As a fellow NJ mom, I order you to post more!

    Haha, I will try. It's easier on days I work from home than when I go into work. I also chase around a 2 year old.

    Something positive about social groups:

    Those of us who are going through certain specific issues will be able to connect more easily with other moms who are going through the same things.

    BabyCenter has groups, and since I've been going through some things I've been spending more time there, although generally I would consider myself more of a Bump user, it's just been nice to connect with others who are experiencing or experienced the same.

    There are so many boards on the bump for special issues, it seems they would be enough to fill the need....

    I would join the bacon group though!

    Seriously @bumpjackie enough with the pinned posts

    I dismissed that crap with a wave of my hand (okay...a click of the mouse). But either way, I don't have to see it anymore.

    If only I could dismiss all the stickies.
