Can I not steal YOUR Twitter account and like Haxx? :tongue
I thought the whole owning a Facebook or Twitter account would be obvious.

You can try and steal my account by hacking it. That's fine. :evil
Also, some people may think that's it goes through my account, or the mcomputeforums twitter account.

The Facebook like button is now positioned in the footer due to the way that it works, when it shows on facebook it likes the page, not the individual posts and with there being 15 posts to a page it was loading 15 times when it only needs to load once. That's why i've now put it in the footer. :happy

Personally I feel it is away from the thread when placed in the footer. Generally people ignore the footer. Could the initial post hold the Like button. Or something slightly more thread related.

I was thinking the same thing, i have to have a look at the template code to see if i can place it at the top somewhere were it'd fit in.

After a one word answer from a guru. Drumm, your wish is my command - find the button! I like it in it's new home.

I do much prefer the placement :tongue, and now the Footer is back too one line, and centred. :tongue, that's been bugging me.
