It's a simple template edit to move them to the top of the page.Are any plans to move it or insert the share buttons for example under the title of the thread or at the top of the thread?
Conversely, if you do read something to the end and decide you want to share it, you have to scroll back up.Also, usually when you read a thread you know if you like/don't like it when you START reading it. It doesn't take you to the end of every word in it to normally decide if you like it or not.
You make the JS fo them load last regardless of placement (at least you should).Your better having them located at the bottom, because if they are slow loading at least the rest of the page has a chance to load-up first before them.
Chances are people will know the share buttons are down there, and if they want to share, they'll use them.Nobody pay attention to the footer or what is below the reply box.. thats the true
An example:Chances are people will know the share buttons are down there, and if they want to share, they'll use them.
You will scroll to the bottom of the page to like a thread?.. me not..Chances are people will know the share buttons are down there, and if they want to share, they'll use them.
An example:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenforo-first-anniversary.20718/
189 thanks..
but..
38 like it on Facebook
10 shared on Twitter
4 shared in Google+
Statistics... less "shares" and more thanks (because the thank link is easy to click and its well located). The situation is repeated over and over..simply watch the most viewed threads on XF and you will se a huge number of thanks and a few "shares"
You will scroll to the bottom of the page to like a thread?.. me not..
What I saying is that XF should consider to move the default location of those buttons
Perfect Question.Why share stuff you haven't read yet to know if you want to even share the thread in the first place?
You share the thread, not the posts... So I´m suggesting to move the shared buttons to under the thread titleXenForo likes have nothing to do with Twitter shares, facebook likes, etc.
If by going what you're saying then the share links should be after every post as that's where the xenforo likes link is.
Why share stuff you haven't read yet to know if you want to even share the thread in the first place?
But then again... Why would you share the thread if you didn't read the original post, or the thread's posts...?You share the thread, not the posts... So I´m suggesting to move the shared buttons to under the thread title
In that case...why the share buttons are under the reply box if I´m not going to reply?
Thinking of your question, I have another... why to repeat Discussion in 'General XenForo Discussion and Feedback' started by Claudio Ba, Yesterday at 10:17 PM.
if I already see where is the thread posted?

Exactly! they like the article! So after read the first post or thread they say "wow..I like this article, I´m going to share it"... but I dont understand the purpose to scroll down to the footer to share the page. See examples on any other blogs or forums, they have the share buttons at the top or under the titleWhen reading a thread, you're almost like reading a magazine or a book, so those share buttons on the bottom is like saying "Hey guys, I like this article!"
hoo...you are so wrong...have you ever used a Facebook account? I think you dont understand the concept of share something..The only people using the share buttons are the people that want to make that site successful, I.E. Mods and Admins.
