Please report any problems here.

Edit: also, please test these buttons if you can ;) And tell me if it works.

Could be it will be better to have them for every post, but I have to start with something.

I thought their placement was a bit distracting. Could be just a taste.

I will need to check. I have the forum displayed in a reverse order (newest posts first), so what I see looks different than what most people see.

I sure prefer once per thread to once per post.

Can they display at the top of the thread rather than in the first post?

I plan to test other placings later. As of now I am not yet sure if it is the mod we are going to use.

Looks like it is not rendered correctly under some browsers.

I sure prefer once per thread to once per post.

If you see a good post, you are not going to like/share the thread if it requires scrolling. Then, those trying to see what you liked will see a thread - and not necessarily the part that you considered interesting.

So it is not an easy decision.

If you're just going to put one per thread, then I like it better where it is now.  That obviously won't work if you do it for every post.  I don't mind having it for every post.  Most forums are so busy anyway these days I'm kind of used to the clutter.
