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!
It looks like my "Hi Everyone!" thread has taken off as the introductions post, which is great and totally fine! I'd change the title to "Introductions" but it looks like you can only make edits within 24 hours of posting. So for anyone out there reading this post, head over to the "Hi Everyone!" post to introduce yourself!
@jbal918 hey is there any other way for me to view the link with the glossary for what terms mean? Each time I go to view it, I get kicked out and brought back to the community home page. Thanks!
