About the Let's Talk Forum

Let's Talk is for "Chit Chat that Doesn't Fit in Other Forums," so if a thread topic would fit in another forum it should be posted there. It's good to keep in mind that Let's Talk is a public forum, meaning it's searchable by Google (and other search engines), and that everyone on the Internet can read it.

Please also remember the following posting guideline:

8. Start threads in the proper forum. For example, posts about breastfeeding go in the Breastfeeding forum, posts about food prep go in the Cookbook forum, posts about your toddler go in the Little Explorers forum, etc. Which forum is the best fit can be subjective, so do the best you can, and an admin or mod will move it if we feel that it might fit better in another forum.

Most members look for new posts by clicking the New Posts link in the navbar above the board which means they will see your post no matter what forum it's in. Also, members who have the information you need will probably check the forum your post is supposed to be in.

Since there are already a high number of posts in Let's Talk, please avoid posting here for more traffic and do your best to post it in the proper forum where it will stand out more. Also, please avoid posting here with links asking people to go to other posts to increase traffic.

In some emergency situations we understand the need to get information out fast. In those cases we will move your thread after the emergency passes.

Thank you, and if you have any questions, please contact an admin or a moderator.
