No liking this at all. I have everything removed but the tweet button. Anyone how to get it to shut off?

I use firefox and adblocker was working great....but...I did something wrong and it messed everything up, so I un-instaled. It does work though, Im just not a techie. So I will just have to DEAL with it..grr

What makes me sad is that the members that have been around a little bit know this happens with upgrades...and that it gets resolved/removed as soon as it can be done...and yet...here we are 153 posts later...

The disable on the social media buttons in the header took months. And still some speed is lost.

As much as I appreciate the option to turn off the social media buttons (I realize it isn't working for this new upgrade), that would only turn it off for me. If these social media buttons stick around, that still gives others the option to tweet/Facebook MY post and everyone else's, whether they have their option turned off or not. That is where my issue lies with this upgrade/change. Sure I could block it myself, but that won't stop someone else from sharing something I posted. No likey.

Wow. Just WOW.

There is some Glitch on the ECF and People Except it to be Fixed Yesterday. I for one am Embarrassed to even read some of thing that are posted here.

Maybe we should change that Catch Phrase to "Your Pizza in 30 Seconds or Less".

Reading posts is currently an option that we can still choose...for the time being??. That freedom has not been taken away
yet.
I don't believe anyone asked for this problem?

:facepalm:

IDK for sure, but it would seem to me that if I can quote this (as above) I could tweet it too... button or no button. Also the tweet would be from me, not from you (I think). Same with my liking something on FB. My like, not yours.

Everybody needs to chill on this issue, IMO until we find out what the deal is. Maybe some of you FB fans and tweeters can TRY IT and tell us how it works, rather than everyone panicking about it (and I'm not singling you out here pringles13, a lot of people have said this). I'd like to know the results. Maybe someone did, and I missed it, buried in all the ....um.... messages above.

What I find really sad is that we have outstanding members of the community acting like children over this issue. We get the message it is causing some of you grief. I personally don't like the social media links either, but it is what is. We'll do a workaround, but like anything else it takes time.

Now to address some specific issues:
You are not paying to Beta test. Stop being a whiner. Upgrades are necessary and often do not happen smoothly when a forum is heavily modified.

I'm sorry that you think its all about the money. It isn't but hey I'll play your game ".... and join VF, they think this way too."

To those that complain about the slowness of response. yes I was asleep last night and this morning i had breakfast with my family. Shame on me!


How about this... I'll leave this thread open so you can complain but the next person that mentions any of the three points i covered in bold gets a ban, no bs no kidding.

i just refreshed a thread i was in. Seemed to take a lot longer than usual. Then, i noticed four new icons at the top of each and every post. I think it was facebook, tweet and something else ... Plus another i'd never noticed. When i mouse over the last one a popup note says "default" ...

What's up? Can i get rid of the social media links on every post? Or is it a temporary glitch, i hope.

yep everyone is noticing them and none likes them remove them right meow

p.s its slowing down the forums like crazy

please remove them it takes the pages forever to load and is very frustrating :(

+10 on the above. Ecf is slow enough. Now it's slower than dial up. Not much point in high speed internet. :glare:

really! Makes me sorta feel like.......

if you want to know what i am saying in my threads come to them and see :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Dont make me ad more mad men ill do it i swear

do not like these new social media buttons, trashy!!!!


loading pages is now agony... And you know, if i wanted to direct people's attention to a link, that's why i can cut 'n paste the link at the top of my browser onto facebook... Well, if any of my friends or family were interested in this, which other than my husband, they're not. I don't tweet, and i ignore my g+ account. Make it go 'way! :(

the disable social buttons feature in settings isn't working any more ether, bummers

i hate this twit crap!! How can i get rid of it.... Even if it didnt slow down everything i still wouldnt want it. Its crap!!

this is one of the reasons i dont get on my facebook hardly ever.. I get tired of seeing so and so likes wendys or ajax cleaner and hell will turn to solid ice before id twit. The other stuff i dont even have a clue what it is.

all right.... All together now.... 1, 2, 3....

I'm sorry my computer cannot run this forum so that I can read the entirety of the thread, but are you saying that this isn't a mistake, someone actually meant for this to happen?

I'll be really sad if I can't use ECF anymore. =(
