Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Why is it no longer possible to tick the box at the top right hand corner of a post and obtain a link to that individual post, as opposed to copying the url of the whole thread? That was very useful. Quote
0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 It was Adblock's fault. Who knew? 😮 Quote
0 wateroftyne Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 You can just click the 'Share this post' icon, can't you...? Quote
0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 I'm not sure I see the Share icon! Quote
0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 And this. The options at the bottom don't list Share. Quote
0 wateroftyne Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Oh, I've just seen your screenshot. That's odd...! Quote
0 ped Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I just logged in as you @Silvia Bluejay and I could see it, may be your browser blocking it or something. Quote

0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) Hmmm... weird. I used to have the share icon before the recent update. I'm on Firefox on Win 10 as usual. I'll try Edge, which I hate and never use anyway. I'll also try disabling Adblock on FF and see if either works. Edited April 15, 2019 by Silvia Bluejay 1 Quote
0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 If that barrage of popup ads comes back to this site, I'll do without the Share icon and go back to Adblock! 😛 Quote
0 fleabag Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I used adblock with Firefox and still see the share icon, right next to the report post option Are you using a different browser ? Quote
0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 No, up to date version of FF on up to date version of Win 10. The disappearance was probably due to having the Social Blocking filter activated, among others. Quote
0 fleabag Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Aha, i dont know what that is and so dont use it, so good that you found the reason. I'm still on win 8.1 with FF Quote
0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 This is one of the pages I see when I click on the sprocket icon (Settings) in Adblock. I think the filter in question is the Social Blocking one. Quote
0 fleabag Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Just had a look at mine and yes i have the social blocking option. What does that do in the real world Silvia ? Quote
0 Silvia Bluejay Posted April 15, 2019 Author Posted April 15, 2019 I think it stops FB/Twitter etc. following you when you click on a link in a post/tweet/etc., as well as blocking all clickable FB/Twitter etc. images or links on pages if they try to obtain access to your own social account info. Or something... 😉 1 Quote
