How-To Guides: -How
to quote: Hit the "quote" at the bottom of the post you want to quote.
You will be taken to the reply box with the quote set up already. -How to tag: Add an "@" in front of the username of the person you are talking to. -How
to change your username: log in to TheKnot, hover over My Knot, and
click Account Settings. Be sure to log out and log back in after
changing your username. If you are having issues doing it that way, you
can email community@thebump.com and
ask them to change your username. Give them a few suggestions just in
case your top choice is taken. It may take up to 24 hours for the name
to update. (It's also possible to change your username on The Bump
sometimes under your account!) -How to insert a spoiler box: click
the drop down list arrow next to the paragraph symbol (sixth from the
left, next to the emoji button) and choose spoiler. It will insert a
grey box, and everything that you type in there will go into the
spoiler. Or, highlight what you would like to be in the spoiler, then
select spoiler in the dropdown.
For the sake of board organization, here are some simple guidelines for posting threads: DO: -Introduce yourself in the "Introductions" thread -Feel free to start one of the weekly posts listed below if you don't see it started yet
-Check to see if a thread has already been started on your topic
or question so we can avoid too many threads of the same topic
-Post a thread that would apply to a fair amount of the community and
doesn't fall into one of the categories for daily threads listed below
(Ex: What to pack in your hospital bag, baby gear, etc.)
-Comment, share advice, and show support for your fellow bumpies; this
is a two-way street, to get support, you must show it as well
DON'T: -Ask the community if you are pregnant, it is against the Bump's Terms Of Use (TOU) -Post pictures of your pregnancy test, this is also against TOU (there is a thread on the open 1st tri page for this) -Post a thread that asks a question only applying to yourself unless you suspect you may be going through a MC
-Get bent out of shape if someone calls you out for not following
these guidelines; if you expect to be part of a supportive board (which
we are), you need to be able to take the time to learn the ins and outs
of the board.
Here are some weekly/monthly ideas that may be
good to start with. We can always add to best suit our boards needs, so
please let me know if you have any other ideas!
To view past Product Spotlights or the upcoming schedule, see here: To be made soon!
I've
copy/pasted this from previous boards, and it seems to be the way that
they are all organized, but of course we should feel free to tweak for
our needs! If anyone has a suggestion for other threads, please feel
free to comment a suggestion. PLEASE keep in mind that there will
eventually be a lot of us on this board, and an organized board will be
much easier for everyone to use. If we can all keep the one-off posts to
a minimum the board won't be too cluttered to navigate, and hopefully
we won't end up answering the same question 2,000 times.
