When I click on that

I see the following:

I guess my friends in Marketing have been busy again. :o

Where is the $ ?

Certainly not on my forum.avast pages (av6wide theme), perhaps on a different theme or it is a geo-location based option or my many blocking toold blocks shareaholic (wherever that might be).

Maybe this will answer your question David :

I’ve noticed one other thing. Since this new item was added, the Jump button at the bottom
of the page no longer works. I click on the GO button and nothing happens. :frowning:

I tried Firefox and IE and I can’t see it. Could be based on privileges on the forum.

So I’m assuming the jump button works now as well?
EDIT (using the modify button): works for me

No, your assumption is incorrect.
The jump button still doesn’t work. :cry:

When I’m using

the new addition is gone and the Jump button again works.

When I use Chrome, my default, the new addition is there and the Jump button does not work.

Once disabled the new addition is gone.

Hence Shareaholic.

Yes, Mystery solved, not using chrome, not sure if I would want it tracking browsing and delivering related promotional content. That’s why I have all the adblocking stuff ;D

It has nothing to do with Chrome but an add on which is also available in the other browsers.

The culprit is actually one of the settings which I’ve now disabled:

The add-on itself is again active and the annoying new addition is still gone.

Does Shareaholic worth? What does it do or add?

Tech,
You’ll have to check it out and decided for yourself.

Ok… Can’t you give me a hint and convince me to test? :wink:

Well, I wouldn’t test such c…p at all. :wink:

I was suspecting that… But, then, why would Bob have used it? ???

Sorry, I can’t answer this…
