i made a mistake! Maybe i didnt. leaving the bolded did not work for my site(G+). however if i change the bolded to platform.js everything works fine. am not sure which .js google want people to use. in the snippet it was platform.js however in their documentation it is plusone.js.

any way if gplus one does not work for you just substitute the .js and see if it will work.

It works for 5.1.4 thanks

[gfran5]

Works great in 5.1.1

[M@tthew]

Nice little add-on, thanks! Works well with vBulletin 5.1.4.

[gfran5]

Anyone know how to add this to the article (CMS) conversation bar?

[classicrv]

Very nice! Seems to work well on 5.1.4. Thanks!!!

[oxrageous]

Anyone have any idea how to adjust the code so these DO NOT show up on the floating bar?

[fortunately102s]

Great, this is what I was looking for!
