No, it only works in forums.

I haven't tried it, but you could try promoting the post to an article to see if that works.

No problems. People are online.

If you are coming in through a proxy, don't.

If not, please send me your IP address via PM so I can investigate.

Great mod. Thank you for the opportunity to use it. Considering, that it's in everybody's interest, I wanted to point out that social sharing by the means of social buttons (i.e. facebook) is limited to the name of the Board and the description of the board.

I think it would be beneficial for everybody if there were some updates made in reference to Facebook Open Graph.

I do not want to get anybody upset but do think that the role of facebook in ref. to website promotion should not be overlooked in such a great modification.

I am far from being knowledgeable in the subject. Unlike BirdOPrey5 whose More Share Option made social sharing more productive. May be if you gentlemen could talk to each other...

Thank you

I think I have to retract. Everything seems to work now. Weird.
