Lazy slattern that I am, dd was 12 weeks in that picture. She's 2.8 now. The PFB effort wore out after 4 months.

upafrozenhill · 12/01/2010 10:12

I used to then I noticed that not many others did so I felt a bit .....dunno really...vulnerable I suppose so I deleted it.

What was the DM scandal? I have no idea

BarbieLovesKen · 12/01/2010 10:25

Im one of those who doesnt put up pics myself but gets annoyed if someone else doesnt as am very nosey.

I dont put them up as really would prefer to remain anonymous just incase as I've posted quite personal things on here and wouldnt like anyone in RL to identify.

Am also possibly ott about putting pics of children on the net, but thats just me.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 12/01/2010 10:26

I have one and love to nosy at other peoples, usually when someone makes a comment that makes me chuckle or annoys me, then I can put a face to it!
I need to update mine. Put a pic of DD on there!

memoo · 12/01/2010 10:28

I have one with pictures and every'fink, feel free to nosy!

2010aQuintessentialOdyssey · 12/01/2010 10:31

I have one.
I like to show off my Boden undies.

SerenityNowAKABleh · 12/01/2010 10:39

Noooooooooo! For some reason when I've tried clicking on everyone's profile on this thread stalker it goes to my non-existent MN profile page.

This is divine MNHQ retribution, isn't it, for not having one?

GypsyMoth · 12/01/2010 10:41

serenity.....just did that with me too...

FuriousGeorge · 12/01/2010 10:44

No way will I put a profile /photos of myself up.I live in such a small place and could be very easily identified.I'm a pretty private person and would hate people in RL to know stuff about me from here.In fact,may have to namechange soon,because I mentioned to a friend that I go on MN,and she says she is going to come on here too,to see what it's like.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 12/01/2010 10:48

Ahhhh! I just been redoing my profile, adding pics of DD and changing some of the details, click on save, and the fucking thing disppears!!! Just had to type it all out again.
Bloody technology my arse.

havoc · 12/01/2010 10:50

I love looking at profiles, but I'm too shy and paranoid to have one of my own.

I think that I recognise a couple of mumsneters from RL, and I would hate them to know I know who they are, if that makes sense! Or worse still, them to recognise me!

But that's no excuse, I could have one without photos though, couldn't I?

PoppyIsApain · 12/01/2010 10:51

I dont think my pic's work, ive tried uploading them, then saving but dont think they appear in gallery, i have given up now.

Heqet · 12/01/2010 10:52

Everyone seems to have my profile atm. Tis baffling.

PoppyIsApain · 12/01/2010 10:52

Oops they have worked just checked. Duh...

PoppyIsApain · 12/01/2010 10:54

Heqet that is happening to me too.

satonthesofa · 12/01/2010 10:55

I don't have one- too lazy.

I think lots of people removed them at the time of the Daily Mail debacle.

GypsyMoth · 12/01/2010 15:58

seems to be working again now!

BelleDameSansMerci · 12/01/2010 16:01

Um how do you look at a profile?

Hassled · 12/01/2010 16:03

I have the absolute minimum on mine - I value my privacy too much. I don't want to have to faff about namechanging everytime I want to ask something personal/rant about life.

BelleDameSansMerci · 12/01/2010 16:03

Got it now... Assume you don't have one Tiffany?

GypsyMoth · 12/01/2010 16:06

have just moved it back to public Belle

Hulababy · 12/01/2010 16:08

I have one. I add photos there.

I like to see other people's profiles. I am nosey, lol!

GypsyMoth · 12/01/2010 16:09

i need to add some to mine too. at some point!

Flibbertyjibbet · 12/01/2010 16:11

No profile pics here. Mumsnet is completely open and you could have half the planet viewing your pics and all the info about you.
Just doesn't appeal.

Now Ravelry I am happy to put a pic on of my sons or me wearing something I've made, because Rav is members only and you have to sign in before you can even see your OWN profile never mind anyone else's.

thesunshinesbrightly · 12/01/2010 16:13

Yes i'm the same, private person and other reasons, i dread someone reading my threads that i know in real, plus even if i wanted too i couldnt because i cant remember my email

But doesnt stop me having a nose at other peoples.
