let me know :-)

    Facebook would be so much easier for me to be more active on since my mobile app is constantly giving me issues but I agree about waiting until closer to the end. That’s what we did with my other bump board and I think it can weed out a lot of crazies.  :)

    FWIW my last group moved just before our kids were born. It’s exploded/separated three times since then. You never know where the crazies are, even when you think you do!

    Wait. It’s easier yes - but waiting is best.

    What @lindsayleigh1989 said. I was gonna say I don't recognize your sn and was wondering who was trying to steal or identities via FB. So...no thanks!

    No worries. I have intro-d though. And if it didn’t post I can’t even seem to figure that out then. I was just talking to my best friend and she told me that her birth month started a Facebook group and that it was easier and her moms got really close there. I explained to her that is was hard on the Bump and on don’t get notifications. I’m just a FTM and apparently not good enough for this app to get the hang of it. That’s all. If anyone cares to help instead of saying stranger danger that’s nice. Didn’t even know there was such a worry on this forum. My bad to “scare” you all. Not my intention.

    What do you find hard about this app? Yeah it’s frustrating sometimes but still functional on most days (it’s all i use). Have you tried on a computer? A lot of us may have experience some crazy stuff before (not just this forum) so it’s not unusual to try to wait till we know each other more. I’m part of my BMB FB group from 2 years ago but again we waited till we started delivering. Other forums are less organized and relaxed and maybe that’s more for you if you don’t like it here (not being mean). I do believe there is a Facebook but i heard it’s drama lots of the time. The ladies on this board are very supportive and resourceful but participation means a lot to build this community.

    I totally understand. It’s just hard to follow. I have never done any kind of forum like this. I doubt another would be better if this is just how they are. Apparently I’m just not technically capable lol. I guess I’ll try harder.

    You seem to be doing ok on this post @zehcnasella. I’m not sure what you’re struggling with. I agree with others, sometimes it’s glitchy, but, like with most things, joining in more frequently makes it easier to get the hang of.

    I am definitely getting this post because I can navigate it pretty easily because I started it. I’m trying to learn this new age of internet things lol.

    The app doesn't work well on my phone (community is completely inaccessible), so I log in via Chrome (Android) and use their mobile site.  Would that help?

    The app was a little hard for me to navigate through as well at first. But just keep at it! Just fully read the "read first, board organization" thread and it should be pretty easy from there! I found getting involved in other threads has helped me a ton and, even though I'm sure I'm still a stranger to most, being involved more can help others be more willing to reply/advise!  o:)

    I don't love the app either, so I tend to access more from my computer. For me, I've found the more time I spend on here and get familiar with the different threads, the easier it is. There are a few I've figured out the flow of and a couple I mostly still lurk on because I'm trying to get a read on it before jumping into an existing conversation. Just give it some time and maybe try using the mobile site instead of the app, might help.

    That said, I'm not big on FB to begin with and tend to be really careful about who I connect with on there, there can be some serious drama or just plain weirdos out there, so I'm all for continuing to get to know each other through here for a while longer.

    FWIW welcome and just start joining the conversations, I promise, this is a really great community!

    Yes totally agree this forum part of the app is not very user friendly!

    Could you change your username so we can get to know you better? There is a thread on how to change the Knottie name.

    In my last BMB we didn’t start a FB group until after babies were born and even then some of the “regulars” turned out to be batsh*t crazy. The group imploded into three different groups, but the original group im in is very close and it’s a great community. It’s best to wait!

    @js8812 I think sadly most groups split off or break at some point just happens when you get lots of opinions and differing views. my july 16 one imploded this fall and it was heart wrenching

    @lindsayleigh1989 Did it break off into separate groups or was it just donezo?  It does stink.  There were a lot of great people in my last group that we've just lost contact with.

    Also, it bums me out when by the time the babies come the BMB is almost dead and everyone has moved on to FB.

    @runsomewhere we had several people make fake profiles with fake names just join us so they could be a part of the group and we knew who they were :)

    what acunamatada said.  I was in a july fb group and left after a few days.  lots of drama & very unorganized.  i found that hard to follow.  i love the bump forums.  I'm also super anal with organization.  

    @zehcnasella I personally use a computer as its easier then mobile.  some weeks i stick to one board and other weeks when I have more time I participate in multiple.  FTM check in is always a good one to follow if you're feeling overwhelmed with the boards.  just a suggestion :)

    @lindsayleigh1989 here on the Bump or on Facebook? Creepy either way. I'm pretty private and that type of stuff freaks me out.

    @runsomewhere agree-I don’t think I’ll be able to get over that mental privacy block and join a Facebook group. I’ll still be here when our board becomes a ghost town!

    Me too.  I share pictures of DD on FB so I’m selective about friends.  I even went through and purged a lot of casual acquaintances from high school and college when she was born, because I barely knew them.  I’ll be here with you and @devilcat139 until the end!

    to be fair many of us werent friends on facebook for quite some time you can still invite someone to a group without being friends so it was a way to still connect with still having our privacy for awhile :) 
    This. I didn’t friend anyone from my group for quite a while on FB. All they could see of my profile was what a stranger could see (my profile is very locked down).
