Could DC's ages appear at top of each post?

Hi, since we seem to spend a lot of time asking each other how old DC are in order to give advice or comment I thought it would be a good idea if their ages could appear on the same line as our username at the top of each post. It could be linked to the DC's info in our reg. details and updated automatically each month. I emailed mumsnet about it and they are going to discuss it at the next meeting. Does anyone else think it's a good idea?

Noooo - the next stage will be tickers (56 days until the Boden Sale) or little dancing avatars....Just Say No

No - some of us haven't managed to have kids yet and would have to be reminded of this failure every bloody time we posted. Sorry, I am on one today...

"Booby fed for 1 year 3 months 7 days 4 hours and 37 minutes"

Sorry Malaleche, it's a no from me as well. It's a slippery slope to 5 million 'tickers' and all that malarky!

Ok everyone, I wasn't suggesting the cheesy banner type thing so beloved of other forums, just this for example:
"malaleche - date bla bla - dd1 3.4 yrs dd2 5 mths". And obviously it would be optional. Don't know anything about computer programming so didn't know it would slow things down, sorry ok? sorry!!

You can always add those details into your personal profile if you want.
As it's a public forum some people don't want that kind of information on view.
Most of my posts are not about my children, and I come on here to get away from them, TBH!

sunnywong · 13/02/2007 11:33

Of course, someone will have already replied "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO", won't they?

HandyTrinkett · 13/02/2007 11:27

wouldn't have thought they'd do that from a coding point of view.. ..yet another join and so a more costly query and a slower mumsnet..

itsmeNDP · 13/02/2007 11:25

mala, most people do put their kids ages into posts anyway.

AngharadGoldenhand · 13/02/2007 11:11

No.

lurkylou · 13/02/2007 11:09

I do agree with icod about most babies being boring ultimately!!

The next time you gaze at a cute baby just remind yourself that after 20 yrs it will probably just be another boring bank clerk!!!

Ok OK forget it I honestly thought it would save some time, especially when one-handed typing and feeding baby...

and there we all were 'pretending' we cared about each other's problems and icod puts everyone in their place with

"no one cares abotu other peopeles kids
booooooooooooooooooooooooring"

Classic!!!

Carmenere · 13/02/2007 11:05

No, it is hardly a stretch to type your childs age if you need to.
