Is it possible to put on tickers on the ttcing threads.

There are lots of us and would be fab to see at a glance where everyone is at thier different stages.

Many Thanks in advance xxxx

Once they were allowed on TTC threads everybody who likes them would be wanting them on pregnancy threads, and then it would be Behaviour & Development, and everywhere else too - "why not? TTC has them! I need to keep up with who has what!"

Hence all the thin end of the wedge comments. There are plenty of relevant forums (fora?) which do have them for those who want them - mumsnet is calm and peaceful (to look at anyway) and tickerless - please let's keep it that way [winning ]

maddy sorry but I had to laugh at this thread, did you miss the huge bowel movement ticker episode a few months ago??
I dont specially want to see tickers becoming a regular feature of mumsnet, though I have every sympathy with people who are trying to conceive, and maybe tickers wouldnt be out of place on those threads, by request.

Can't believe that this has caused such an argument. Would it not have been better and more productive for everyone, if people against the tickers just said why, as in cons, rather than things like 'their the spawn of satan'. If I were on the ttc thread these messages would probably make me even more determined to get tickers. I thought this was 'mumsnet' for mums, ie 'adults' not 'children' or shall we name it 'childrensnet' to suit some of your reactions?

A discussion of the pros and cons would have been more helpful for all wouldn't it?

As for tickers themselves - can't say I'm one way or the other at the mo, not enough information to decide!

I had a countdown on my pc when I was made redundant - used to say something like "xx days til I'm outta here"

I'm sure all my colleagues loved it

the format of the mumsonline.net board is different to here so they can allow tickers. This board wouldnt' allow them in its present format.

Too many tickers and twinkly pictures are nto good for the eyes.

I once had a keyring which counted down to my wedding day-is that the same??

OK Expat--as long as the Americans can agree that they are gross! (tickers I mean....). I did go to a link on Momsonline (sp?) when Rickman was posting her ticker on how long until her next bowel movement and when Gwen was doing something or other, so I am familiar with how they look. I do like the simple format of Mumsnet to be honest.
