The last 3 days I have not been able to leave comments on the message boards as anonymous. It gives me a sign in box every time. Why? I’m using a laptop.

I had to switch the boards to registered users only. Sorry about that! But, it’s really easy and anonymous to register, so I hope you do!

I was already registered and went ahead and posted something horribly embarrassing right under my screen name. Yikes! And thank you!

How do I upload a picture from my PC to ScaryMommy? Also, is it possible to do it from an Iphone4? If so can you tell me how to do that too?

I am not seeing “My Preferences” when I click on my username – where exactly should I be looking?
