Show Thread Enhancements - Addthis / Sharethis Bookmark Integration

Loved the addition of bookmarks in vbulletin but hated the way they were placed at the bottom of the thread, each time I read a thread I immediately found myself scrolling to the top again. I tried moving the bookmarks to the top but didn't like the way they looked.

I came across http://www.addthis.com which allows you to add a handy piece of code to your website that allows you to bookmark a thread to any of the large bookmark sites, 34 different site's in total with out any mess or cluttering up the postbit area with tons of images. Plus addthis.com track all clicks and pages that have been submitted from your site. sharethis.com is a site that works exactly the same way.

AddThis and Sharethis is already on hundreds of thousands of websites including TIME Magazine, Oracle, TechCrunch, Freewebs, Entertainment Weekly, Topix, Lonely Planet, MySpace, PGA Tour, Tower Records, Squidoo, Zappos, FOX, ABC, CBS just to name a few and could be on your vbulletin forum within minutes!!

Demo click here then a thread to view demo


Quick and easy installation:
register an account at http://www.addthis.com and log in, once logged in click Get your button code! and scroll down to and choose from a number of different buttons and get your code.

in SHOWTHREAD
find:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">

above add:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="addthis" nowrap="nowrap">
ADD THE ADDTHIS or SHARETHIS CODE HERE
</td>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

done!

Make this the simplest MOTM Ever

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="addthis" nowrap="nowrap">
ADD THE ADDTHIS or SHARETHIS CODE HERE
</td>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->

you didn't put the ADDTHIS code inbetween here where it states it must go, looking at your source code you have left out <td class="vbmenu_control" id="addthis" nowrap="nowrap"> that goes before the ADDTHIS code and the </td> that goes after it.

This is a great mod. Addthis has the flexibility and is way less obnoxious that twitthis.

Also love that users can print the topic.

5 stars.

Whenever i hover over one of the social network names or images, everything in the box shifts. If you do the right hand side its fine. Try the left hand side and everything sifts. Any idea why?

FYI I'm having this happen in the latest Firefox.

I've never added this mod to my forums, but I do have a few sites with the addthis widget setup, it's a great piece of code
