The little icons under your posts..

Your probably wondering what the heck are those little white icon under each post. Its a new form of "spreading the word" I guess you can say. If you have an account at Digg or Del.icio.us you can recommend the post for more discussion on a worldwide basis. Basically it makes a copy of our post on their site...but in order for them to reply they have to come here and post. They can also rate and rank our posts. It has significantly increased the exposure of other sites and the technology is of a new one.

Soon (a few weeks) there will be an option where if you wish, you can disable having those icons underneath your post on an individual basis. (USER CP)

But if these small icons are driving people mad here, I can disable them now for everyone and just wait a few weeks till that new release comes out where u can do it on an individual basis.

You're too nice sometimes :smile:. If this benefits our site then nobody should have any reason whatsoever to complain about them.

Haven't really heard of this before... but bravo for you keeping up with all the latest fancy stuff. I am gonna check out these sites now... Here are the links for all the curious fellas out there:
digg / Technology
del.icio.us

The icons surely don't bother me any, so why not keep 'em!

I hope that they don't count towards the length of our signatures. If they do, I'm leaving!

They're under each post so obviously it will just send that one post.

It's bothers me a little bit because the icons stick out alot, but I'll get used to it. It is a great idea, it'd be nice if the icons were next to the "Report This Post" button, however. Don't get me wrong though, I think this is great, and I'm for it all the way.

I was wondering what they were, but I was too scared to click them!

Sounds like a good idea though.

Sooo, If I were to go down each and every post and click that thing, it would spam the hell out of Digg or Del.icio.us?
Not saying I would, but, would it?
