I wonder if I missed something, though-was there an issue? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083251 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:55:18 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1083251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Glad its been well received!

Maybe add that it could also be hurtful to hear how "easy" it was for some to conceive on the IF boards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083179 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:38:13 +0000 spaniellove 1083179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I like it. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083139 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:24:08 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1083139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright, heres my best shot:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posting-to-the-infertility-boards-how-to-be-sensitive" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/posting-to-the-infertility-boards-how-to-be-sensitive</a></p> <p>Let me know if there is anything I should change. Is it too wordy? I do want it to specifically mention posting to the IF boards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083124 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:21:45 +0000 mrs. wagon 1083124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: might have prevented posting on the wrong board? Or prevented people who had a certain board (parenting?) From seeing something before a poster realized a mistake and deleted the thread? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083106 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:17:01 +0000 mrbee 1083106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: It's definitely a gold feature!</p> <p>How would hiding a board work here? Not sure I'm following... although I didn't sleep much last night, so it's probably just my groggy mind being slow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083105 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:16:50 +0000 spaniellove 1083105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think any efforts to build awareness about etiquette would be great. All the comments about how it was just an issue of putting it in the wrong board make me see how little most people understand...there was more to it, all of the language involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083090 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:12:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 1083090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Along these lines, maybe another sticky to remind people how to block boards they don't want to see or accidentally post on..? I forget if this is a gold feature but it's a great one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083078 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:09:23 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1083078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: As long as its sticky'd on the IF boards, I'm happy. Of course if you want to sticky it on the front page, even better! I'll get going on the post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083077 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:09:17 +0000 googly-eyes 1083077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yes definitely! I mean people are allowed to feel how they feel about their fertility regardless of whether they struggle with IF, but on the main page it could w a good reminder to those who may think about venturing to the IF board, for whatever reason... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083062 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:05:31 +0000 mrbee 1083062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: @Mrs.Someone: We could sticky any thread to the overall front page every few months, as a PSA? It takes time to build awareness, but I do think it's worth the effort!</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: Sounds good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083053 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:03:58 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1083053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I agree, it will help but it won't fix it all the time. I think us IFers also need to remember that most people don't mean any harm, so if we see something like this its best to calmly ask them to redirect it.</p> <p>@mrbee: @locavore_mama: I have an idea on how to word the post (yes, I should be doing my real work ;). Can I give it a shot and if everyone approves, you can sticky it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083050 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:02:13 +0000 googly-eyes 1083050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope that doesn't offend anyone... :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083047 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:01:09 +0000 googly-eyes 1083047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While I actually think it wouldn't be bad to have I'm not sure it would preen mishaps like the one earlier. I think lots of users post straight from the main board and choose the relevant topic rather than think of it as posting to a certain group of people, as it is. So if it has to do with IF the poster isn't always thinking that they are writing to people struggling with IF exclusively/mostly, if that makes sense. That's not to say it won't help anyone, so still a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083022 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:54:50 +0000 pui 1083022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Haha, great minds! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083012 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:51:22 +0000 JoJoGirl 1083012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought that link someone just posted was great... the IF etiquette post?</p> <p>ETA: @Pui: jinx </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083011 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:51:22 +0000 pui 1083011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like this link you posted earlier: <a href="http://www.resolve.org/support-and-services/for-family--friends/infertility-etiquette.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.resolve.org/support-and-services/for-family--friends/infertility-etiquette.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083008 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:51:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 1083008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love this idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083006 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:50:37 +0000 Shutterbug 1083006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great idea, and I like the idea to linking to some of the IF blog posts and also the resolve link about etiquette that @Mrs.Someone: posted on the other thread </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083003 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:50:26 +0000 artsyfartsy 1083003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a good idea. It's not something I'm familiar with so I'd be interested in doing some research to make sure I'm not being insensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1083001 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:49:54 +0000 regberadaisy 1083001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: what if we started a thread something like "how to support our IF members" or "IF sensitivity: real life tips" and you can post that link you did and other IF members can chime in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1082999 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:49:26 +0000 pui 1082999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This sounds like a great idea!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1082997 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:48:52 +0000 MrsBrewer 1082997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is a great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1082991 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:48:22 +0000 mrbee 1082991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: There are a number of blog posts that have touched on infertility... we could maybe link to some of those, along with some outside resources?<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/tag/infertility/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/tag/infertility/</a></p> <p>I defer to you guys on what any stickied thread should say! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sensitivity-on-the-if-boards#post-1082958 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:40:59 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1082958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had an idea. Can we have sticky thread at the top of the IF boards with a link to a good "how to talk to your IF friend" post? </p> <p>And if so, IF ladies, what is your favorite link for this info? </p>
