Social media links on EVERY post now?

[Joe Normal]

@oldsoldier:
I'd like to apologize for overreacting about the social media buttons, but these kind of "features" just bug me massively whereever and whenever i stumble upon them on the internet. It's just the frustrating experience that whenever i seem to have discovered an awesome forum/bulletin board they implement social media stuff that slows down performance, cloggs the viewability and adds "features" most users don't ever use.

Thanks for acting this fast.

LOL.... I have a feeling this thread will be coming to a close soon enough. I for one am glad it's over. Not allot of love being spread around on this one. Hope everyone feels better. Whew!!!

It could possibly be this statement: 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."

FWIW (which ain't much!) but I too read it as OS was mad.

Maybe if he used a few smilies...

Since my adblockers had already removed the icons I don't know when it was fixed but thank you.

AHHHHH my forum pages are loading way too fast now plz turn them back on!!!!

no but srsly they loaded a little slower but not enough for me decide to up and quit ecf, sheesh ppl can't imagine what you do when someone cuts you off in traffic

@tmcase: what part of your game don't you understand?

 

[NatureBoy]

Man this thread went out of control...

Sorry, don't feel like weeding through all of the pages, but they still show up in the first post of every page. Is that staying? Seems strange to have them in the posts at all.

They are gone - yay!!! Thank you.. a thousand times THANK YOU!!!!

edit: Well, they are mostly gone. The top post on each page still has them. I can live with that

ROFL the .... was in the I'll play your game quote. I usually just ban people. But I guess I can see where you might have thought I was mad.

Ok -- Since you're not mad I can feel safe in posting...

And now I will leave it alone

It is the staff who is owed an apology. The infantile and ridiculous behavior on this thread could have been avoided with some patience. If someone's life is so wrapped up here that 14 hours of inconvenience has such a dramatic effect..............they need to reexamine their life.

So, you've never worked in customer support, huh?

You're wrong, in my opinion.

The staff's response should have been, "We are aware of the situation, and we are working to rectify the problem." That should have been your only response. Beyond that, allow whoever wants to vent their spleen to do so, and ignore it. That is the correct customer support response.

I understand perfectly. You sounded mad. Maybe you didn't intend to but it sounded that way to me and others.

It can't have been too bad, else they would have unleashed the PIF mods Wise men run when they see the likes of Whippy the Squirrel or Buns with Guns appear.

Old Soldier could sing Brahm's Lullaby, but next to his avatar, it would sound mad.

I think in this case it's slightly different. Maybe staff could have responded a bit quicker. Definitely some members should've used restraint.

This isn't a normal customer support issue -- This is a forum where we should be at the least respectful of each other. Understand, I'm not a let's give peace a chance guy. But BS is BS.

I hope you wil appreciate just a simple - THANK YOU ! ! !

The top post on every page will have them for now. For some reason your replies will also show them (after you refresh the stray +1s go away).
.
They still show in PMs for some stupid reason. They are pointless since if you +1 a PM out of your box noone can read it but you anyhow...

Hi, Sarge!

1. Does this mean that they will eventually be removed from the first post on each page and from the PMs?

2. If so, will they be transferred to a different place?

3. Will the option to disable them will be offered again by ECF?

Thank you.

So, now we hear from those who liked having the links?

That's a joke....don't jump.....
