Northern California Nesties
Dear Community,

Our tech team has launched updates to The Nest today. As a result of these updates, members of the Nest Community will need to change their password in order to continue participating in the community. In addition, The Nest community member's avatars will be replaced with generic default avatars. If you wish to revert to your original avatar, you will need to re-upload it via The Nest.

If you have questions about this, please email help@theknot.com.

Thank you.

Note: This only affects The Nest's community members and will not affect members on The Bump or The Knot.

Dear Nest:

Why the eff are you changing my avatar BACK to a PG woman?!?! This is insulting. Keep it up and I might not come back...

Re: Dear Nest:

  • What the hell is wrong with these stupid boards?  Why do they KEEP changing avatars?  WTF? 

    Nest, you SUCK!!

    A, I'm so sorry.  What insensitive jerkholes are running the show these days?  It's unreal.  Grrr...

  • Seriously. I can not upload my picture as it keeps changing to their avatar.

    Well at least it is not a PG woman for now.

  • I'm sorry that they're being idiots.

    Have you already tried to pick your own avatar?  You can go into your profile and either pick one of The Nest's pre-loaded ones or upload your own.  Mine hasn't changed since I uploaded my volleyball pic again.

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

    So you thought.

    They just changed them all again.  Mine was my S+T pic, and I think A had changed hers.  So this is happening AGAIN.

    ETA: yours isn't a volleyball anymore...you're now a woman lifting weights.

  • Exactly! Mine was of a wedding pic but no matter how many times I upload it, they put their own avatar in.

    Thanks for the "heads up" Nest.

  • Yeah, and they're site-specific.  I think the pregnant people avatars are all on the bump, but I think (as assinine and insensitive as it obviously is, DUMB NEST!), they're unavoidable if you visit bump boards.  A-holes.

  • Obviously it's a glitch they need to work on. Email them repeatedly so they actually work on it instead of ignoring it and thinking they did a good job. Sometimes computer people suck like that.
  • i wanted to punch the nest in the nuts when it changed my avatar to a pregnant lady ...grrr! :/

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Yep... mine just changed too! I had selected a different image from their avatar selections. And now it's reverted to something else (I think the same one they originally gave me).

    I've also noticed there's this obnoxious ad for "Shedding for the Wedding" that expands if you mouse over it. Except that if I accidentally mouse over it, and then try to close it, it won't close... and ends up covering part of the thread or the response box I'm typing in!

    Aaargh!!!  I just realized you're all totally right.  It was fine a couple of hours ago and I just noticed that it's not working anymore.  And anytime I try to change it, it randomly selects another avatar for me.  Stupid, stupid Nest!

    Here's an e-mail address for anyone who feels like using it: feedback@thenest.com.  It's how I used to reach Nest Anni, though not sure who monitors it now.

  • Now I want to chime in just to see if they've done anything to mine.  I had changed it back but I wonder what it is now????

    Great.  Paint chips.  They've really found something that truly represents me and my life.  NOT!  Angry

  • It seems to be changing every few hours. Now I'm a whole new avatar....

    And when I go to change it, the photo of my flower is there, but when I click on the photo, the avatar changes to one of their other stupid pictures.  I did that several times and I think I saw all of their stupid pictures, then I got a time-out error message.....   UN-believable.

    It changes each time you refresh the page and/or post. Very annoying! I'm sorry, A!

  • Here's another good one: I have a different avatar on the Photo board than I have here on TN.  Seems to me we should just abandon this thing altogether and just switch to FB.  I know I'm over it already.
  • I just want to see my current avatar...
  • The moderator on my anni board said she keeps getting the 'we're working on it message' for the last 3 weeks. Apparently since Nest Anni left everything has gone to hell and everyone has a hard time getting responses from the powers that be.  A bunch of people can't even get their siggies to work, or it reverts back to a siggy from years ago.

    Annoying!

    That happened to me too.  I lost the blog link, a couple of tickers, and whatever else I had up there.  So irritating!

  • I think mine is still a pair of shoes.
  • Where did my wedding pic go?
