I do not like those massive share buttons.

They are very distracting from the last post on a thread. Are they necessary? I can't imagine why!

I'm going to be really impolite here by saying that "I haven't read the thread" - although I totally agree with your OP, Psammy.

MNHQ and Tech have been fiddling again ...............

ChippingInHopHopHop · 09/08/2013 18:56

Why in gods name would you post on a thread like this without reading it?

Thank you MrsLettuce :)

FruOla · 09/08/2013 19:02

Well, I did say that I agreed with Psammy's OP, which was "They are very distracting from the last post on a thread. Are they necessary? I can't imagine why!" - and I agree with her Grin Grin

I think we're allowed to do that, after all, it's not AIBU Grin Grin

TerraNotSoFirma · 09/08/2013 19:03

I was about to tell you YABU, but then I realised...

A) thread was in 'site stuff' not AIBU
B)thread was not actually about big sharing bags of chocolate buttons

As you were then.

reelingintheyears · 09/08/2013 19:57

Too much sharing these days.

I shall hide those darn buttons now I know how. Grin

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 09/08/2013 20:01

Now, a big button which dispensed chocolate buttons is something I could really get behind.

I don't mind the existence of the buttons in theory, the little ones were fine. It's the size and position of them I wasn't keen on. Too big, too bright, too distracting.

All hidden now anyway. So it's all jolly jolly with me.

I hardly see them actually cause I read bottom to top so when I scroll down to add my tuppenceworth, they are not visible.

EasterHoliday · 09/08/2013 20:26

having not clocked these options before, I plan to leave them large and technicolour to remind myself of the Dangers of the Internet.

Tee2072 · 10/08/2013 07:49

BTW, they are quite lovely on the mobile site!

Morgause · 10/08/2013 07:54

I don't seem to have them. Should I feel deprived?

Tee2072 · 10/08/2013 08:03

Are you using the App?

Morgause · 10/08/2013 08:10

No a PC - is that why?

Tee2072 · 10/08/2013 08:14

No. Perhaps you've elected to hide them and don't remember?

They are hard to miss, very large, just above this box I am currently typing in.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 10/08/2013 11:47

Please can you remove them from the SN boards. You didn't have them on those boards with the old version, why add them now? I'm hoping that the upgrade has just added them everywhere and you haven't caught up with fine tuning yet?

Tee2072 · 10/08/2013 13:02

Ellen it was said elsewhere that it's not suppose to be on SN boards. Perhaps send an email as well as posting here?

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 10/08/2013 14:04

I've reported, but haven't had a reply, so I'm covering all bases, thanks, Tee. Flowers

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 10/08/2013 16:52

They've gone from SN. Thanks

Tee2072 · 10/08/2013 18:27

Oh good. Flowers

ChaosTrulyReigns · 10/08/2013 21:58

Does anyone actually use GoolgePlud?

I Besides employees?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 10/08/2013 21:59

GooglePlus

Tee2072 · 11/08/2013 09:45

Yes. I use G+. It's gaining popularity, actually, as FB pisses off more and more people.

MmeLindor · 12/08/2013 09:09

Yes, I use G+ too.

I think people are starting to get peeved with FB and looking for alternatives. Particularly businesses.
