Ok sorry if this is a bit soap-boxy but I'm really fed up with seeing the facebook link 'recommend' at the top of the conception threads!! This has been a real safe haven, private space for me to offload some of my deepest feelings on these threads, the idea of even the name 'mumsnet' showing up on my fb page is deeply mortifying for me, for my own personal reasons. I like to use my phone a lot and am terrified i'm going to click on the link and it end up splashed across my fb page. I'm sure I'm being melodramatic, but please, if you at all agree with me then please add your name here and lets see if they will remove it from this section of the website!

thanks. CB.

Oh please yes.

ScrambledSmegs · 17/01/2012 18:50

Yep, agree.

MuddyWellyNelly · 17/01/2012 19:00

Agreed. Makes me shudder to think of an accidental click.

BrightnessFalls · 17/01/2012 19:02

Totally agree. Not just for conception but, for all of it. My rl friends and work colleagues would think I was weird if they knew I came on here. Plus, its the only place I can offload about them. Its very easy to click by mistake on an iphone, Ive done it twice.

blackoutthesun · 17/01/2012 19:09

you do know you can hide it

MuddyWellyNelly · 17/01/2012 19:12

Just wanted to say, for iphone users, there is a MN App. If you use this, rather than opening Mumsnet in the safari browser, there is no facebook link!

Still disagree with it existing at all, though Wink

helenlouisey · 17/01/2012 19:30

Yes, I agree it should be removed

raspberrytipple · 17/01/2012 19:31

Totally agree. It's bad enough that I am useless at getting pregnant without all the uber fertile friends of mine knowing if I accidentally click the link!

EverybodysSnowyEyed · 17/01/2012 19:41

agree - and there are other sensitive boards too

PreHeatedOven · 17/01/2012 19:43

Agree for all boards please

TheScarlettPimpernel · 17/01/2012 19:44

I agree. Jeez. When I think of what I've posted on there (under other names) in the last couple of years! MORTIFYING!

TheScarlettPimpernel · 17/01/2012 19:44

PS you might find they pay more attention if this is in site stuff.

clippityclop · 17/01/2012 19:46

Agree.

bugsylugs · 17/01/2012 19:48

Agree please remove fb link

GreenOlives · 17/01/2012 20:13

Agree!

highlove · 17/01/2012 20:24

Oh my god, can you imagine?

Totally agree, please MN remove..

Pipbin · 17/01/2012 20:48

Agreed. Too easy for work colleagues to find out I'm ttc!

Stasi · 17/01/2012 21:09

I agree, remove it, it's unnecessary and unwanted.

Discolite · 17/01/2012 21:45

Please yes! The thought of a misclick makes me shudder...

JNO18 · 17/01/2012 22:10

Totally agree, that would be awful. but for those on iPhones there is a free MN forum app (using it now!)

QuickLookBusy · 17/01/2012 22:14

Agree

LittleDragon · 17/01/2012 22:24

agreed

pinsent · 17/01/2012 22:25

Agree. Didn't realise there was a Facebook link as I always use my iPhone app. Scary thought though!

CrazyJaney · 17/01/2012 22:40
