Title: Share GreatLakesBass.com Content Easily
Post by: djkimmel on December 12, 2010, 06:04:16 PM
New on the forum, at the top of each post you will now see a Share button. You can use this button to shore posts through almost every known sharing service such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Myspace, Delicious and even by whatever installed email service you have on your computer, and many, many more. If you read something you'd like to note, mark, share or send to others you know, all you do it mouse-over the Share button and pick the service(s) you use.

Also, on the blog and news sections in the new format (/glbog, perspective, /mexico, /news, /tournaments, /amazon, /shows, /conservation and more coming) you will find a ShareThis button at the bottom of each post when you are reading the entire post (click on Read More or the article title - last page on multi-page stories) that works similarly. Older stories may not have ShareThis on them but all new ones will.

Read something you like, or want others to know, mouse-over the ShareThis button and the most popular sharing sites will be available. Click View All and you'll be hard pressed to find a sharing site not among the choices.

As the rest of the website is redesigned, Share will be added to most of it. As always, I appreciate your participation and friendly sharing on GreatLakesBass.com. Now you can share the fun with others more easily. Thanks.

The dropdown was partially hid by the video ad. Looks like a layering issue.

What browser are you using - brand and version? I'm using latest Firefox and not seeing that. I will try a few others and see if I can find out and if there is anything I can do about it. Thanks for letting me know.

Ok. Seeing it with IE 8 only so far and only with the GM video ads (those are pretty important so they have to stay :) ). Darn IE. Wish it would play nice.

Guess I have to add darn Safari and Chrome too since they are doing it also and I see the placements are off again on those 'weird' browsers. (Just kidding to the few percent of you who are big fans.) Figures the one time I don't test with all of them. Have to see what I can do. It won't be an easy fix this time... Everyone is getting trickier and trickier ;D

Hey! Did you see Scarlett Johansson might be on the market again...?

Well, I can't get the other GM Chevy video to come up now due to my ad agencies external settings so I can't test a change I made. It seems like the issue is only with that one main video. I don't have the issue with the little boy in the big boots video version in any browser. I'll see if tomorrow or late when the other video starts popping up again if a change I made makes a difference.

Your right - it only is a problem with the chevy video.
I'm using Chrome and IE8

I'm sure if they were video's of Fords they'd work better for you!

Scarlett will soon be fishing tournaments with Veronica and I. Shes moving in after Christmas.

Darn, I hate when I fall asleep at the computer and dream.

Well...
Google Doubleclick coders 1
djkimmel 0!

Thought I had a fix, but the coders at the monolithic Google will not be defeated so easily. Right now it is only the main Chevy ad, but that might change with those crafty experts. Seeings is how Chevy is more than a little somewhat important to my in-the-red budget, I will keep pondering other options to work around them.

Mike, I've always wanted to have dinner at your house... maybe spend a night... how does shortly after Christmas sound?!? "I'm dreaming of a Scarlett Christmas..." ;D
