Thank Goodness I know your profile picture since you changed your name (that was to funny & cute)! I would like to change my name often depending on the flow of my days but wondered if it goes against the etiquette on this forum...

In your Opinion would you like see all the mama's upload a profile picture?

What can I do next?

I think it's up to the person. I did change my name and didn't make any announcement about it. I didn't think it was necessary on this type of forum. People have their reasons for being anonymous. I will say though, one of my favorite usernames is Fanged Bunny.

Really if people can't tell it is me just from my less than normal writing style, well....

How many other people here overuse ya know, ya know? :p

I don't know if a picture is necessary but a profile blurb is nice.

Or you can look at the person's questions and then, oh, that nut case. :)

Elyse I am the crazy person, I go by J., I am bored so today I am Thumper.

Not really. Many of us do not have a picture, because of privacy and security. I don't ever look at profiles, myself!!

I'd like to put a face to everyone's name! If someone wants to find you, they're going to do so regardless of what information you may or may not have included. My stalker proves this.

Reminds me that I need to change my "blurb"... our baby girl is here and healthy and my "beautiful toddler" is now a preschooler!

Upload a photo? Thought about it... not going to do it because I'm not a huge fan of my face/name being on the internet in a recognizable fashion.

Pictures are worth 1,000 words.

I would rather keep what they say private.

Sure, as long as it doesn't have to be "us", just something to identify us! Love my profile pic!! Its a digital drawing from the portfolio of my very talented teenager! You can't make me change it!! *pouts*...

I am also not a fan of my own photos or them being on the big wide in-tro-net...heck I don't even like to look in the mirror!! LOL

I don't know who the crazy person is; I guess I just don't read enough!
I'm pretty sure it's not me....

But...no. I don't want that requirement. I try to stay relativley non-personal here, but you know, I might ask for something like "home hemoroid relief" at some point and yikes, but I don't want you to recognize me in the grocery store!

I think the picture should be optional though I do wonder if people would "view" each other differently and advise differently...

Nope, truly MYOB, I can copy and save any picture I come across on the internet. Since anyone can join and they can be anyone and posting anything in their profile, I think the more anonymity the better.

Optionality, seem to work out best. In that case facebook would be a better option.
