I will add it over on the suggestion page! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-13027 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:51:26 +0000 mrbee 13027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thehistoryofus - That's definitely what I meant to convey! Sorry for the confusion... I edited the suggestion to include your specifics!</p> <p>"EDIT: This information may also appear next to each post made by a particular user."</p> <p>As for the ideas around birthdays and what should appear, definitely post that to the suggestions so that we have the discussion all in one place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-13025 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:47:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 13025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee - I dont know, I guess I was hoping for something more that was attached to each post rather than under your profile page (like WB shows your wedding date and location). When I'm looking for advice I like to know more about someone that is offering advice (aka a mom of 4 kids versus someone that is still TTC) and when reading through a thread I don't want to have to jump to a profile page to get a "feel" for each of the posters. </p> <p>Maybe something that when you set up your account and profile you can choose to list your children, sex, and birthday? Maybe childrens birthday is TMI for the internet but maybe just month and year? Maybe even have an option for people to just list "child" or "baby" instead of listing sex if they don't want to identify the child as boy or girl? </p> <p>I'm just throwing some thoughts out there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-13020 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:30:49 +0000 mrbee 13020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah - Hellobee will continue to have a limited number of blog updates per day. :-)</p> <p>@mrsdaredevil - You can upload an avatar using the Gravatar service here!<br /> <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/" rel="nofollow">http://en.gravatar.com/</a></p> <p>Just make sure to signup with the same email you used to register for this site.</p> <p>@thehistoryofus - Is that similar to this suggestion?</p> <p><a href="http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/allow-parents-to-add-their-kids-to-their-profile-page" rel="nofollow">http://suggestions.hellobee.com/topic/allow-parents-to-add-their-kids-to-their-profile-page</a></p> <p>If so, definitely please comment and let us know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-13016 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:25:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 13016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with others that I love the simplified look and feel. </p> <p>It also seems to be easier to read and post from my phone which is key with a baby. </p> <p>I agree that local boards aren't necessary. </p> <p>One touch that I would love to see is kinda like how WB has you wedding date by your name would be a place for a ticker with children's sex/age that automatically adjusts. So many times advice is helpful but it's nice to know where it's coming from and I think helps everyone keep track of the many people here. I don't like how cluttered signatures can get but a controlled way to add just a little more info would be really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-12964 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:12:32 +0000 BabyBear 12964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally dig it. =)</p> <p>I love the colors, btw. Hah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-12955 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 19:04:17 +0000 MrsLilybugg 12955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely love hello bee! Maybe including tips / guidelines on charting, temping, foods to avoid for those just beginning their ttc journey =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-12946 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:56:23 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 12946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am SUPER near here, but it seems awesome. The site has a super clean design which I love, and it seems relatively easy to use. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get myself an avatar... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-12925 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:31:04 +0000 enjollah 12925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure you've already heard this SO many times but HelloBee is SO great!! I remember visiting Weddingbee daily 2-3 years ago while planning my own wedding and now that I'm pregnant, I LOVE that HelloBee has launched with all the tips, advice, honest stories, etc. that a first time mother would have never known. </p> <p>One thing though, I remember visiting Weddingbee a couple months ago and while it's great that there are so many contributers/bloggers/miss xyz, I remember being a bit overwhelmed because with each day, there were numerous entries to read through (and you can't just read one or two entries). What I really like about Hellobee right now is that even though it's still new, the simplicity of it is...nice. I can't imagine once LO arrives and being able to keep up with the site and read all the entries if there were as many daily entries as Weddingbee currently has. I love what you guys have done so far and appreciate it so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-11154 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:27:59 +0000 cyneswith 11154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to see tabs of sorts for the main forum headings, instead of using drop-downs to get to specific boards... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-11143 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:19:34 +0000 Boogs 11143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this site so very much and I appreciate all you both do to make it as homey as it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-11136 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 19:16:47 +0000 Mrs. D 11136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is. I don't know what I expected, but there seems to be more moms here than on the babies board at weddingbee, so so far I'm happy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-9966 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 11:20:35 +0000 Navy_Mommy 9966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The content of the site is definitely what I expected, but I was PLEASANTLY surprised by the layout. No offense to WB, but the layout, colors, big bride in the corner, etc kinda gave me a headache. This site is SO SO SO much better!</p> <p>I can't wait until there are some pregnant bloggers to follow! When I was in wedding mode there were SO MANY blogs out there to follow but I've been having trouble find pregnancy (not Mommy) blogs that I REALLY like.</p> <p>Can't wait to be able to post pictures either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-9959 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:26:00 +0000 venice4504 9959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>reply function would be great</p> <p>I really like the idea of a classified board</p> <p>Plus I love to homey community that the Bee's foster. I have no idea how they do it but it's awesome. BTW, Love Love the layout. Wish I could have whoever you used do my blog :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-9953 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:18:54 +0000 MH.Abroad 9953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly. I was expecting it to be sorta like weddingbee, but I was pleasantly surprised at how aesthetically pleasing this site is. It's a peaceful and attractive website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3990 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 14:05:31 +0000 Rubies 3990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've learned a lot and appreciate everyone's willingness to share information. I already feel like a community - I can't wait to see what's next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3985 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:54:10 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 3985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really enjoying Hellobee so far! It is a beautiful site with a wealth of information. I've learned so much already... and I love that a lot of it is based on personal experience so you don't feel alone in what you're going through. Love it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3962 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:26:32 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 3962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reply function would be nice! (and with an email notification) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3937 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 12:39:42 +0000 mrskc 3937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! It will be a great place to find people at a similar stage. I also love the layout and the design. It's fresh and simple and I like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3893 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:15:02 +0000 Mrs.VW 3893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PBandBaseball I agree - we are currently TTC #1 and so this is perfect! I can't wait to continue to read. I also agree too on not having the local boards. </p> <p>Oh, maybe a 'reply' function for the boards :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3886 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:51:53 +0000 katdevargas 3886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am really enjoying it so far. I love &amp; appreciate how honest you have been with your various experiences regarding your births &amp; miscarriages &amp; just everything and I really hope that this is a quality that continues with whoever is picked to be bloggers on here. I also find the checklists to be so helpful &amp; agree with the sublinks requests above.<br /> And I thank the idea of a classifieds is great - we're going to cloth diaper &amp; are on a tight budget overall, so if there were a place on here for moms to sell to other moms, I think that would be lovely </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3826 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 08:44:57 +0000 mrsjyw 3826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only been here a few days, but I love it already! I love the layout, I love the thread topics. I can already feel that this is going to be a lifetime addiction to all things "'bee" ;) I would definitely like to see a "PM" feature... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3554 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:37:42 +0000 PBandBaseball 3554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love hellobee. I think that I found it at a perfect time (TTC for #1) and I look forward to visiting daily through my pregnancy (hopefully) and beyond. I agree that I don't think local boards are necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3553 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 18:32:10 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 3553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no to local boards. i don't think it's necessary. i do love hellobee. clearly i visit on a daily basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3513 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:14:50 +0000 mrbee 3513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will probably add local classifieds at some point? Not sure about local boards though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3494 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:31:21 +0000 MaisyMay 3494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love hellobee and am excited to be able to PM and add photos at some point. When we get more people, will there be local boards? I can see this as being a great site for moms to connect with other local moms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3491 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:08:25 +0000 filly 3491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>as some of the gals mentioned above, i found Hellobee at a great time in my baby journey as i did with WB in my wedding journey. for me HB is easier to navigate - probably bc its still in beta and thus not as developed as WB w/ all the boards etc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3489 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:45:01 +0000 mrbee 3489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21 - We don't have sublinks designed, but we'll be adding checklist, guides, and printables links to the top tabs soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3485 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:36:00 +0000 Iiamsn01 3485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Actually it's more than I expected. I love that there are so many First time moms around with kids the same age as mine. it's also nice to talk to others about TTC. Besides the people the site is very user friendly and just pretty. (I love the colors and icons) I cannot wait to see more bloggers on here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-hellobee-what-you-expected#post-3483 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 10:28:24 +0000 tequiero21 3483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like the ladies above, i'm really into this site because i'm currently pregnant so reading all these posts and blogs help me a bunch. </p> <p>below the "blog" and "boards" link, perhaps there could be sublinks? like "checklists" and the lists of all the checklists bee puts out there.... or monthly updates, or top 10 lists.... </p>
