Fairly new on here....there are sooooo many acronyms.

Any help in deciphering common ones please?

Also- can people look at every post/comment someone makes under their username?

Thanks! xx

Don't colour code babies

Don't call grown women either girls or ladies

Other than that and you'll probably be fine.

Don’t call people hun

Yes, anyone can search any of your posts made under your current name. If you have something you’d rather not link to your usual name, then name chance. But be prepared to explain you’ve name changed or everyone will trouble you’re a troll

Explore the talk topics- there’s a lot more than just chat and AIBU

And welcome!

Oh and learn to use the bookmark and watch thread function (on the mobile site for example, click the 3 mini dots at the end of a post)

Don’t be one of those d*ckheads who does a stupid . to mark their place on a thread

MoleMummy · 06/05/2019 21:54

Thank you all!

@AuntieStella what is colour coding babies?

@SillyMoomin how do you search for a users posts? (I'm on the app)

No idea on the app I’m afraid, but on the mobile site there’s a magnifying glass at the blue bar at the bottom- that will allow to you search for stuff
