New DU Feature: Social Bookmarking/Thread Sharing

[EarlG]

Hi all,

As you may or may not know, the Admins have been working hard on the new site upgrade (if you missed the previous announcement, check Skinner's thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2312592">here).

One of the features we wanted to bring to DU 3.0 is the ability to add discussion threads to sites like Digg, Facebook, Del.icio.us, etc. After doing some research we discovered that it was so easy to do this, we decided to add the feature right now to our current software.

Each thread's original message now contains a button at the bottom, above the poster's signature line. If you click that button, a new window will pop up which will allow you to add the thread to a variety of social bookmarking sites, or even to your own browser's bookmarks.

If you encounter any problems using this feature, please let us know in this thread so we can iron out any bugs which may occur.

Thanks!

EarlG
