is it really too much work to do that ?
I HATE having facebook and google+ and tumblr and twitter links and 90% of the pages I visit
it's just more targeted advertising and snooping which sites I'm browsing
every time you visit a page that has one of those facebook links, facebook knows you were there whether you posted to facebook or not
and I HATE that so many discussion boards and other web sites are now doing "sign in with your facebook account"
screw that
on some discussion sites if you make a comment it automatically gets posted on your facebook page
again, screw that
it's like that nonsense google did when they first integrated youtube with google+
like a video ? it automatically gets liked on your google+ account
make a comment on a video ? the comment automatically shows on your google+ account
thank god they finally got rid of that nonsense
I don't need facebook knowing I'm visiting this site and then start giving me ads for snhu.edu
I don't need this site loading extra javascript and slowing down page loads
if I see something that's interesting here and I think it would benefit my friends to hear about it then I'll go to facebook and make a post about it
better yet, I'll send my friends an email[/QUOTE
We have a share feature now, but not to FB. It's over there next to the "like" button (which was added in the past 5 years or so). I can, and do, post things from here to other places, it's not too much work for ME, it's a marketing opportunity for the forum. There's a difference- I don't work here, don't get paid to post, to share or get any affiliate link money for the amazon link in my sig- those are just links- and IC isn't getting money either. There certainly are no ulterior motives going on, I just happen to think this is a GREAT forum and it's EASIER to share using buttons than copy/paste. Listen, I'm old enough that I used to share using POSTAL MAIL....so really....
Since I'm not computery, I don't know what a javascript does or doesn't do- or why adding FB to the share feature pages we already have would make things different than they are now?
