    Duh I HATE the share feature!

    No, I do NOT wish to share anything on this board with my public, real-life facebook. Fuck no.

    I just accidently clicked the share button for facebook, and before I had time to react the "Share was Successful!". Fuck! I went to facebook but couldn't find where the thread I "shared" was (I don't ever use that feature so I have no idea how it works).

    All I need is the SW thread on "Post Booty Pics!" to show up on my Dad's facebook feed tomorrow. I ended up just deactivating my account as a precaution.



    Anyone know how to know 100% that there isn't a link to SW lurking about on my profile? Where would the 'shared' page go?

    This was always one of my big fears, accidently pressing that stupid damn button.

    I don't use FB often, but I don't want to completely be rid of it all-together.....

    You just go to your profile and scan down! There will be an icon for your WALL or PROFILE . That's what you want to click! If you don't see it, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I've never had this website do anything like that.

    Agreed, it's probably not something that should be on this site. I'm glad you pointed it out to make others aware of it. I think I'm so jaded by those icons these days that I don't think about it. Luckily though all my accounts are business accounts, so it wouldn't be such a big deal for me personally... a thread on "booty" would be considered tame to most of my friends.

    I hate the share feature in general. It's a PIA tool on websites. If I want to share something, I can c/p it in to my facebook status feed.

    I don't like going on non Facebook sites and seeing I'm already signed in through some tracking nonsense. Huffington Post wants to know if I want my Facebook friends to know the articles I read, my bar recipe site wants to know if I want to share my favorites...WTF????!!! I think it's a horrible invasion of privacy. The problem with this site is how close the button is to the quote button. It's set up so that "OOOPS! Now your contacts from Facebook can come here and track you down!" Horrible.

    I'm with you, I hate that feature, and now it's on like every single website! The majority of what I do online I definitely don't want to share with my facebook peers. Makes voyeuristic cyber stalking easier!

    Not to mention employers think they have the right to judge your "lifestyle", your politics, and a whole lot else they don't need to know.

    Maybe we can ask that the placement of the 'Share' button be moved? It's close to a lot of other buttons I use frequently. Shouldn't it be moved to the very bottom of the page? So people who want to use it know it's there, but the masses of us on this site who prefer to keep their occupations a secret won't click it without meaning too?

    I hate it too. If my mouse pointer touches it, it freezes my computer for 10-15 seconds while it loads every plugin on Earth and four from Neptune.

    It isn't going away anytime soon. I've been working on SEO a lot lately, and the "share" links are necessary to getting top placement in search engines. Real people have to be looking at your site in order to get search engine placement.

    I have 2 fb profiles; one for IRL friends and family and one for my stripper self. I think it is necessary for everyone to have two. The one your mom, boss, teachers, etc. see and a page for your "partying" self. My 16 year old stepson has had 2 profiles for years now. I don't think his mom and dad know, but I do.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Could the placement of it be changed? To some place when you're less likely to unintentionally click on it - perhaps at the bottom of the page?

    I rarely use my one facebook, I have no intention of creating another one. I'm not a partier outside of my dancing life, and I don't cultivate regulars or many other dancer friends, so it would never be used.

    We should be able to de-activate it, so it is not a threat. Maybe it shouldn't even be here.

    I would use two different web browsers so I can't make that mistake.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    Where is this share button?
    It is necessary you already link the account to the facebook account?

    ^If you're logged into facebook in the same browser you use SW with, clicking the facebook share feature will automatically post a link to whatever SW page you're on to your facebook wall.

    It's located at the top of the page, next to the "thread tools" button. Hover your mouse over the "Share" button and it brings up all the links you can share with (twitter, facebook, digg, fourmspring etc).
