Default Social Networking / Bookmarks added
Share this / Bookmark

I've added a new menu to the site, that appears on threads and downloads, in the bottom bar. This is the "Share this" menu, and allows you to share the current download or thread on various services:



Currently the following links are setup:
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • MySpace
  • Digg
  • Delicious
  • StumbleUpon
  • Google



Obviously most of these require you to have an account on the website in question before you can post a link there. Please let me know if any of the urls are not working properly.

Social Networking

A lot of us now have various social networking pages that we would like to put on our profile. Previously there was no way to do this, however, I have now added the following profile fields to the profiles:
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • MySpace



Note that while Facebook and MySpace require the full URL to your page, the Twitter box only needs your Twitter id - the twitter.com is added to the beginning.

These fields appear on your profile, nicely linked, in the "My Profile" section on the left hand side.

I hope you enjoy the changes - feedback is much appreciated!

Just added my facebook link. When you say these appear "nicely linked" I assumed that would mean your could click on them? Also, oddly, although I have only provided facebook, the twitter link (empty) is also in the my profile section. Assume should only see the ones you provide?

Cheers

The facebook link that was working appears to have now disappeared from my "My Profile"section. Has it moved?

Hmm, I did have, but when I looked it had gone - refilled it in and it's OK again now.

Nice job with the social networking , I've added my MySpace url to my profile. Although, I'm not crazy about being dropped from the site because I didn't happen to log in for about 6 months.

However, policy is policy and I do understand the reasons behind it. I, myself, happen to be a moderator and submitted content tester for a strategy war game fan site much like this one . I am happy that I was able to have my old username back, many sites don't give you that option.

You all are doing a very nice job with the site and I do like many of the new features . It is nice to see the site adapt to the new changes that have come about with the release of Sims3. I'll be buying my copy of the Sims3 game next month.
