Topic starter
 

I just opened a thread and there was a glaring green icon and an option to share the post. Now it's gone again. Did I dream it? Are the IT bods up to something? Who would want to share all this guff? 😯

No one on here give a F what I post anyway, please don't encourage me to share my drivel with regular people like those douche bags at Amazon do. No one cares if I buy a toothbrush.

It's worse than that - just tried to cut and paste something and got a 'read more at' link at the end.

It's all a bit Daily Mail 😉

I'm hoping for an 'insert simile' button.

I need one of them like a wassername.

A few bugs still to iron out but hopefully we'll have it sorted in the morning. We want you to be able to share your pearls of wisdom 🙂

We weren't keen on the green either, so that's likely to be toned down quite a bit too.

Though this was going to be about going halves on a dropper with a pal (they're not cheap ya know).

That's irritating, ^^^ 🙁
It'll ruin the big hitter battles where they're copy and pasting at light speed..

If you are going to add the "see more at- blah blah"

Then you need to add a quote button to the forum.

Otherwise, as above, quoting posts to reply to them will be a complete mess.

The icon is a little distracting.. could it not be text on the left just like REPORT-POST..?

Everything else is on the left, so the string of icons is a little hard on the eye imo.

Hear hear molgrips - why not invert the logo/add a border so its a white rectangle with dark letters, on the left with the report post etc.

Change - we does not in any way loikes it round ere!

prefer click to make the pop-up bit pop up, personally, rather than mouseover. It's kind of like a wall of mouseover targets running down the middle of the screen.
possibly handy idea though, although I'm more likely to share a thread than a post.

You can just share the first post. May add a share thread soon but it's Friday afternoon.

Technology is just getting too much for me, I will be communicating through the medium of interpretive dance from now on.

I thought of a use for it!
If you see something in the classifieds you have a non-STWer friend after. Use the Share button! Saves the major hassle of switching to your email window and pasting the link eh? 🙂

You need to add a RFC 1149 option for those of us still using old tech.

Hmmmm.... As you're tinkering with the forum, please could we have a "back to forum" button/url too? I'd find that much more useful than "share"

Do the numbers appearing mean that people are actually sharing these posts? I hope people are enjoying

Have you had a bad day aracer? You seem remarkably grumpy about this. Have we upset you with this new function? 🙂

I just think there are other more useful things you could add.

Apparently this forum is great because it's not like other forums - one part of which is the absence of stuff like this cluttering up the screen. For which we put up with the absence of all sorts of useful stuff which most other forums have.

...how strange it appears somebody has shared my previous post 🙄

Can we create sharing loops where you get to this post then share it
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/sharing-posts#post-5534201

This could then take you back to the start and you get stuck in an eternal loop.

*whatever you do don't click the link above as im not coming to get you.

Which will coincidentally "Boost traffic by enabling sharing to over 300 services."
I can understand why you'd want to do it, but it still looks shonky.
