    Yes, I did. I wish Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram would die in a fire already. Oooh, how many shares did I get? Check out my cherry picked perfect life!

    I thought it was a booger on my phone screen. I tried to wipe it off to no avail.

    ...and inadvertently nearly created a Facebook account just by touching the button.

    I disabled signatures.

    They should make it so every time you click it is makes a f**t sound. Then they'd have something there.

    Well, I'm now going to think hard about whether I really want to continue on here. I've avoided FB as much as possible. The idea that content from here can now be shared/linked to that platform with a simple click really irks me.

    I wasn't seeing it. I then turned off Adblock Plus on Firefox and it showed up.

    I turned it back on.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Ew. It's like an ugly goiter attached to every post. It's even more visually irritating on the mobile version of the forum than it is on the desktop version.

    "Hey, I don't use Facebook, but now that Vanilla put an ugly icon on the bottom of every single post, I'm going to start using it! Thanks Vanilla!"

    -No one, ever.


    Looks like other forums that use Vanilla are complaining about the same thing. This was likely a Vanilla software update that they rolled out, not something that Polk initiated. Hopefully once we get a moderator we can lobby for this "feature" to be switched off.

    Everyone should be running the Privacy Badger and Adblocker extensions for Chrome or Firefox at a minimum.
