Changes on TN?

What has everyone heard?

I've read a few posts across other boards on the nest and bump and I'm getting a little worried.

Apparently, they were adding "like" buttons to posts. Although people would always joke about "ohh I wish I could like this post!" What the nest/bump/knot was going to do was give you the option to "like" a post, but it would do it through your facebook, and it would link it do you FB page.

However, I also read in a response to a thread that someone heard that they've already promised to get rid of the like and tweet options.

I guess you can check out your local boards, because those are the ones that have already been changed over. IF YOU DON'T WANT IT LINKED TO YOUR FACEBOOK, DON'T LIKE SOMETHING! I know that I never signout of either, so I'm assuming that's how they would link them if I didn't ask them to?

 

Anyone else heard anything?

    Linking TN to FB is a terrible idea - especially since I think most people on TN like to remain anonymous or semi-anonymous. I'm glad they've done away with that.

    I'm kind of digging the ability to switch between Chicago weddings, nesties, and babies easily, though. Maybe it'll increase traffic on the super-dead Chicago TN board!

    I'll have to look into the whole switching bt boards thing. Can you explain it more?

    You can see it on the local boards - there's a tab for each toward the top: http://www.thenest.com/forums/local-boards_chicago-nesties

    Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but wasn't that there before? Who knows, I wasn't on my local board enough to know anyways. There were pretty much only posts asking for recs of the casinos haha.

  • I also heard that they were canceling the Fb/twitter links...which is a good thing! I was going to have to GBCN if they kept those. My anonymity on here is really important.

    I hate how tn/tb are always making changes. It's getting kind of annoying.

    This exactly! I do have an AE that I've never used, because I made it way back when I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep this one. I would either GBCN or switch over with no pics or antyhing.

  • I heard about the FB thing yesterday and it was such a terrible idea.  On the book board they were saying if you liked a post, it would go to your FB and the person who posted the post's FB, which is so stupid.  I'm really very relieved they're getting rid of the FB/Twitter thing.
