Where to post your 'introduction'?

[VincentT]

Maybe I'm being blinded by the awkward forum navigation on MN (phpbb anyone? lol) but I can't see where new members can introduce themselves...

Is there anywhere?

I have never seen anyone introduce themselves on mumsnet. Its huge, do you realise how many members there are on the local boards I can understand people introducing themselves, since you may actually meet people in your town/city...but otherwise, not so much

Welcome anyway!

Nobody introduces themselves. Just start posting! It's meant to be anonymous.

Just a suggestion, but effectively introducing your self to a community by being rude about where it meets it's a great start!

Introductions?? Just fill out your profile with all your details including address/DOB and passport number, change your user name from Vincent T to include your DOB and your good to go

Thanks for the clarification... wasn't desperate to introduce myself just didn't want to get shot down for not doing it!

The fact that one of the most popular threads on this technical sub-forum is about someone's baby being Prime Minister tells you all you need to know about how the forums on here are organised and moderated lol!

Might check out some of MN's rivals before getting too involved as spending half an hour on here is a frustrating experience...

Aye, we'll keep your seat warm...

Just change your view to "active conversations" and see if there is anything that interests you.

If not, as that is pretty representative of the discussions on the site, you are right that it might not be for you.

Don't introduce yourself. We've figured you out already.

Bye then.

Most people lurk for a while to get a feel of the place before signing up and posting. You don't have to like it here, I would have thought you'd work that out before signing up

ur postings, ur rules hun xx

Do the nethuns have such a thing? With rolling smilies crashing into sparkling 'bubz, hubz and yummy mummy me' text?

spending half an hour on here is a frustrating experience

So you've found AIBU then?

"lol" indeed...

Will you make me a DarylDixonsDarlin I'm trapped in my bed...

Good grief, this is one of the easiest forums to navigate, IME. Unless it's on the mobile site, which is shit (IMO). Desktop site though - no problem.

Don't bother introducing yourself, just either pile in or, if you hate it already, go elsewhere.

Thanks to HoppityVoosh & GooseyLoosey for the constructive posts!

I assume those taking fair and constructive criticism of the technology behind the MN forums personally were responsible for coding it themselves...

too? Not poorly I hope, Kato?

Perhaps Vincent was not impressed with my tea making skills

Um... You did notice that the threads about Toddler PM and Fantasy Government were starts by MNHQ didn't you...?

Welcome to MN :)

Just preggo and fit to burst! Mat leave started today and I seem to have turned into a head amongst pillows and duvets... There is cake space however!

SoupDragon - yes i did! Quod erat demonstrandum... lol

On Nethuns everybody starts a new thread to introduce themselves.

HTH

Gosh. It feels like ages since we've had a thread telling us we ought to be doing it better.

Oh, wait.

Hmm, really don't think this is the right place for you Vincent. Hope you find something that suits you better.

All it demonstrates is that you are making assumptions that aren't true.

It is site stuff. Stuff for the site and the people who run it. You've made an incorrect assumption that is is technical stuff only.
