Do any of you use the "Share" links at the bottom of threads?

[Shaun]

I'm thinking of removing the share links at the bottom of thread pages and wondered if any of you use them at all?

You can still access the share buttons using the perma-link - the little number with a hash in from at the right-hand bottom corner of each post - but I don't want to remove the ones at the bottom of the page if people are using them.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Shaun

[coffeejo]

[ianrauk]

[theclaud]

Nope.

 

[fatblokish]

[Theseus]

Didn't even notice them until now.

Do you think I want to publish anything I write here against my real name!

 

[Pat "5mph"]

No, though at times I have been tempted

 

[Nihal]

Yes of course,not with other people though.Only with the darkest part of my mind

I don't use them, and on my work computer I think they slow the page load down - I see messages about "waiting for platform.twitter" (along those lines). It is quite irritating and sometimes leads me to go elsewhere for my forum fix... I already have avatars and signatures turned off on that machine.

I have but wouldn't miss them if they disappeared

This is why I'm looking to get rid of them - the page completion is reliant upon these third-party servers completing their data delivery - and since I don't think many people actually use the links, I think we'd be better off without them.

No one is really clambering to keep them so I'll likely remove them over the weekend and hopefully everyone will see some benefit.
