Good point Jeff. It should be fine to just post links, right? |
Yes, links are fine. |
Since the old forum is just for DC nannies, I guess I'm a DC nanny now! I post there because parents post there as well and it's helpful getting their input. If I wanted to just talk to nannies I'd go to the park. |
I'm not a big fan of this set up either. It was just so easy to quickly check the old forum and see what was recently posted. I am not in DC but I am pretty sure I will go to all of the region sections and partcipate anyway. |
Nobody is checking passports. Post in any region you want. But, the easiest way to check recent posts across all forums is to use the "Recent Posts" link on the left. |
So, I'm confused, is this meant to include employers of nannies as well?
Seems not, so it is more appropriate now to post nanny questions in General Parenting? |
Parents who want to post about nannies should do so in the new forums. You make a good point that this is not obvious. I think I will create a forum for Employer questions to make that a bit more clear. Nanny posts should not be placed in the General Parenting Forum. |
The number of sub forums seems a bit much. I am not sure why you need regional and random sub forums (nannies in the news as a sub forum?). The beauty of the old forum is that you could pop on for two minutes and do a quick scan. |
As I've said in multiple posts, nothing is written in stone. I started with the regional forums and asked for suggestions for other topics. As good suggestions have come in, I've added forums. I'll probably start removing some that look like they might not get used. I'm just trying to find the right combination at the moment. |
Jeff, is the au pair forum for au pairs, the way the other ones are for nannies, or is it for host parents who have questions about hosting? Thanks. |
Both. If it turns out we need separate forums for each, I can always make another one. |
I agree! I think one of the best ways we can keep this positive and helpful is to keep users accountable by promoting the use of user names. |
i HATE this new set up. It's confusing. I liked how everything was in one spot, etc. I doubt I will be coming back anymore. |
By my count, this is at least the third time you have said that you doubt you are coming back. Based on this experience, I have considerably less doubt than you. See you tomorrow. |
Does this forum show up in recent topics too? |
