Social Bookmarking links

[Ian_W]

Hi,

 

To the left of every new post now you will see links to a range of social bookmarking / sharing websites. If you use any not listed, and you think I should include them - please let me know.

 

These sites allow you to store, tag and share links across the internet. You can share these links both with friends and people with similar interests. You can also access your links from any computer you happen to be using.

 

So, if you come across a thread or topic that you find interesting and want to save for future reference or share it with other people, simply click on one of these links to add to your list.

 

All of these sites are free to use but do require you to register. Once you have registered you can begin bookmarking.

 

Each of the sites works slightly differently so use the links below to find out which service best suits your needs.

 

You can find out more about social bookmarking on Wikipedia.

If you have chosen to have the post info at the top of each post (changeable via ' My Preferences' under 'My Stuff' at the top of the page) then these links will appear top right.

[Ian_W]

Okay - finally found a way to pull in the subject correctly

 

This has taken me 2 days - but hopefully you will find it useful

 

Bookmark away.....

[Ian_W]

I have corrected another minor issue, which has now enabled me to place this on all posts.

 

Thanks.

 

Again - if you think we need to add any bookmarks that you use - please let me know.

Ian.if we dont like the "social bookmarking" how can we get rid of them please.

[Ian_W]

you can't at the moment - what is the issue?

 

You are not obliged to click upon them - they can just be ignored.

 

Please let me know what the issue is - thanks

Its new I know but I find it annoying.I appreciate in time I might get used to seeing them at the bottom of the posts but as it is I thought I had cocked up somewhere & pressed a wrong link which caused these to appear. I have been trying for hours now to rid me of them. Now I know it was you who introduced them.I can "right click" & prevent images from fansfocus to my computer & yes,that DOES work & clears them but it prevent ALL images & thats not what I want..I now know its something you had introduced. I am talking of those little squares at the bottom of each post(is that correct). As I say,personally I find it annoying & distracting but if its something most will use(I wont) then I shall put up with it & as I say,in time maybe I shall get used to it. Sorry,was just MY preference thats all. If its across he board then fair enough.Sorry to trouble you.

Following me around are you Al. Absolutely correct Alan.no friends arrr!. Collect your minus 20 points on the prediction league (2) ha ha. That will shut you up (My goodness,you do get around don't you? You must be a Beach boy(round round get around round,I get around)I'm not talking about buying beer either l.o.l.

[Ian_W]

Cookie - always pays to read here first

 

I may well amend them anyway - it is something that many people do use - but I may well amend them and develop them - maybe having an option to hide them.

 

But it will take time - so will not be today sorry.

Its because I am a Moderator Tony, and thats my excuse

Seriously,at least I know now its not an error that I may have made in clicking somewhere that I shouldnt have. I am being selfish,sorry. Indeed if its acceptable & used by most who are more adept with computers then ignore my request. I'll get used to them. Might even try the links myself in time.

Its still minus 20 points Alan. You cant get out of it that easily. l.o.l.(Just kiddin of course. No need to look at the table!!
Apology Ian. Forget I said anything.

[Ian_W]

LOL - no worries - one tries to add features to a forum to benefit users - of course sometimes people dislike additions - so where possible we try and make them optional.

 

At the moment this is in an early stage of development, and will probably alter
