Is the 'Recommended For You' pop-up part of the same software?
It's a bit, erm...quirky!
"Recommended for you: General Section - Retro Rides"
Its not really a recommendation if it an entire section of the forum!

Yeah that is actually Dan, thought that wouldn't work until tomorrow... it is probably a bit ropey at the moment as it needs to index the site a but more... lets see how it goes.. if it is good I'll keep it enabled... if not I can turn it off.
@elwoody ... ah didn't know that... I'm hoping they are discreet enough not to be annoying... and work okay for mobile users without causing issues.

I have to say that "Recommended For You" popup is intensely irritating. And inaccurate, random, spurious...

Any chance of removing these share buttons permanently, please? Plaese!!!!!!!!!!!! Hate facebook/twitter ect Then don't use them. I'll remove them for two reasons and two reasons only : one) if after a week no one has used them to share anything (I get stats on what and where got shared) two) someone gives me a compelling reason beyond "I hate blah" ... slowing down the pages and causing js errors were compelling reasons for the previous experiment, these however don't do either of those things |

+1 from me.....Luddite I know, live in a closet away from the world of telling everyone what I'm doing minute by minute.
So where is the option/setting to turn off, I've looked and failed miserably?

i'm finding the share buttons intensely irritating by just being there in my peripheral vision all the time and because i have no control over them. i don't even hate facebook or twitter !
maybe we could have a permanent hide option so at least we can choose ? don't know if that's even possible, just spitballin

i can live with 'em on a PC, tablet however is another matter.....
'share', 'follow' and the arrow faded white bar at bottom of screen which appear and disappear constantly whenever you scroll.... can see small icons bottom right when said bar is gone, press that and bar re-appears? can't seem to access whatever options that gives?
V annoying!

@elwoody ... ah didn't know that... I'm hoping they are discreet enough not to be annoying... and work okay for mobile users without causing issues. Nope on my mobile (& tablet) they're a bloody pain! Keep catching them when trying to navigate around - not so bad on the laptop though, anyway for permenantly turning them off for individual users or blocking them? |

Keep catching them when trying to navigate around agree, and in the least moany old bastid way possible this is the first legitimate argument for removing them. if i scroll right to the top of the forum the twitter button is mm away from the retrorides root forum button, and not only that if you do accidentally brush the share bar they go all tumescent and actually touch the forum ! (kinky) |

Okay folks... I've moved them to the right, hopefully that should take them out of the navigation confusion and being a bit less distracting.

don't agree they are really annoying and using the hide button only works as long as you stay on that exact page. Theres an old saying,if its not broke don't fix it! There was nothing wrong before they were there all they do is wind people up. Last time they were there it wound everybody up,they were removed now there back again they will still wind people up! A website or forum is its members if something annoys the hell out of them eventually they will stop posting or worse still not come back again. New members browse the site it annoys them they will not stay  General consensus is they are not liked. |
