Owdy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 In IPB 3.2.x Facebook like button is hided under Facebook Share button. Demo, click that Facebook icon in bottom of this topic. I know you wanted to save space, but IMO, hiding Like button is bad choise. Example, if random user comes to board and likes some topic he found via Google or something, he doesnt see Like/recommend icon anywhere. If you look for Like button, you dont hit Share button. I fear i loose some FB-Likes because of this new design. If you dont know IPB, you cant know that Like button is hided under share icon. And btw, that feature only works partially now. If Facebook connect isnt active, you dont see Like button at all at the moment because of unfixed bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJ Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I agree. I never understood why it's done like that. I personally like how xenforo has done. Plain and simple and easy to use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I don't follow you and what your saying... it's a share link.. it allows you to share the link... Is anyone else confused on what he is talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone else confused on what he is talking about? Facebook "Like" and "Share" are different functions. IPB has merged them into one. This is like button: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ Share button is bottom of this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Charles Posted August 11, 2011 Management Share Posted August 11, 2011 We thought it more organize to have all social sharing features in the share strip rather than dotted about the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.time Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Facebook is phasing out the Share button from what I understand, it'd be best to just replace the Share button with a like button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point... this board only uses the share feature... if you want a "Like" feature, then look for or make a hook for it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
