Hi Chef,
I just noticed today when I read some new articles that we can no longer "like" an article internally but have to click the facebook/twitter/google1 thumbs up instead.
Is this the new policy or did I miss something on the page(s)?
I am less likely to click the thumbs up on facebook than I am a general thumbs up. Why? I don't know, but I am more self conscious and selective about the content I recommend to others because I am thinking of all those people on my friends list on facebook. I don't want to overwhelm them with recommendations quite frankly. I would rather recommend things I think that THEY might like rather than everything I might feel positive towards.
Yet I like to encourage other people's writing when I think it is good.
Isn't there a middle ground? Would the Google thumbs up work in those cases where I want to say I like something but don't want to broadcast it all around to people that might eventually ignore my real more personal recommendations? I guess I don't really understand the purpose of Google 1.

We're tweaking the layout for the social buttons. Please hang in there while Simon and Hans are testing for the best implementation. The internal "like" button will surely come back soon.

We redesigned the whole set-up today. Once you reload your page, you should see the new widgets with all the familiar buttons on the left side bar.

I do like it on the left, it's more noticeable. However I have two issues:
1. I can only see the bar when logged out,
2. Using the Chrome Browser set to 100%, I can only see a small part of it when logged out. I have to make it 83% to see the full bar. |

Can't see the facebook like button? Cleared my browser cache too. Is it a glitch or it is a test without facebook likes? |

I can see it fine just now. What browser and version are you using, Natasha? Have you tried restarting the browser, not just clearing the cache?

This is what I can see in my left sidebar, I will try restarting the browser again. I am using chrome though. Will check with other browsers too. |

I am using chrome..and yes, looks like a caching problem to me. I can see the fb like button in firefox and internet explorer. Though they are only half visible to me and I cant even see the icons properly.
Below is a snapshot of what it looks like in IE:

Okay I have just seen this and I am sorry but it doesn't work for me at all - as the image below shows in FF at the screen resolution I am using (so I can see things) 1024 x 768 the whole of what I assume is meant to be on the left hand side is almost invisble!
That actually makes the page look odd - shouldn't the page automatically be resizing to the screen resolution?

I just tried it in FF, it looked horrible, I emptied the browswer cache, and it was fine.

Chef - done that (before I posted) and again this morning and it still looks truly awful as per my screenshot above

What I hadn't realised until a moment ago was that this barely visible set of icons also follows you down the page as you scroll - sorry but I really loathe that sort of thing

I don't know what to tell you, Paul. Perhaps it has something to do with your FF version or settings. Maybe Simon has an idea...
The moving icons seem to encourage more clicks. Many of the big-name blogs use that feature.

I just saw that Simon made our social bookmarking bar more transparent. It's less aggressive that way.

Chef to be honest I have stopped driving traffic to any of my pages here for the time being - although obviously traffic is still arriving because of the backlinks etc - I am going to keep that under review because it's not presenting a positive image of me at the moment. I have the latest versions of all browsers and the images below show what I am seeing in IE, Chrome and Safari in that order.
If this is a screen resolution issue then something needs to change because I cannot be the only person in the world using the one I mentioned:
IE View
Chrome View
Safari View

Paul - I wrote to Simon about it. Maybe he has an idea...
However, I checked your Smurfs page in Chrome, FF, and Safari. It looks just fine. I wouldn't worry about a "negative image" - it might happen only on your computer.
Could anyone else please check Paul's page, and let us know if it's ok?

It looks OK for me. I use Internet Explorer, no overlap.
