In the upcoming 5.3.3 version which is currently in RC2, it has the FB and Twitter share buttons in each post in a thread as you can see here. -
Hope you are right Glenn Vergara . Will it be automatic, do you know? Or will we have to set it up in control?Comment

5.3.3 is very close to release. Cloud sites are generally upgraded within a few weeks of the full release.
Quite likely you will be running 5.3.3 well within a month.
One of the major benefits to the Cloud platform is that we upgrade your site, promptly, and you don't have to worry.
You can see the share buttons on this very site.

That is a terrible place to add the share buttons, will be confusing to 90%, take it from a nineteen year marketing and viral traffic master, website designer etc. People will think, PEOPLE not robots, will think they are sharing the members profile. AND what about some of the most popular sites? Linkedin is BIGGER than Facebook for advertisers for one, and Instagram for virality. The buttons should be in the post, at the bottom, and should contain at least five of the major networks like most other sites do. This is so 1990's, sorry to say. Anyways I can recode it for myself if i have access to the files. Looks like i'll need to move off cloud and get it done right.
Support cannot do anything about the positioning of the buttons, but the developers can if it's deemed to be a valid priority.
It may also be possible to move them with css. I haven't looked at the code but Glenn Vergara may have an idea on how feasible this is. css can be added to Cloud.MARK.B

You can always raise an improvement request in the tracker including your observations.

Thanks, hopefully Glenn Vergara has a solution. It should be real simple, it is in other coding I have done. Makes more sense to have the Share block appear in posts, not profile! Its not a dating network, its a forum for Petes sake lol!
Glenn will fix it upLast edited by Carrfixr; Mon 18 Sep '17, 10:01am.Comment

I checked and it's not possible to move using pure CSS. Once I install 5.3.3, I will check if it's possible to re-implement the social buttons using template hook and re-use the same template(s) and move to the bottom of the posts.Comment

Glenn, do you think it is possible to hide the facebook and twitter share icons? I run a forum where a lot of the members aren't big on social media and don't want their posts to be shares willy nilly. Would love for it to be a way to disable and hide those buttons -
You can enable both buttons in AdminCP > Settings > Options > Topic Display Options.

Awesome! Now THATS the way to make me feel great about my purchase Look forwards, make sure you add at least the top marketing networks. Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, InstagramComment

Template hooks aren't available in Cloud, mainly for security reasons.MARK.B

If you want this to be properly and officially implemented by vB, then you need to raise an improvement request in JIRA as Mark suggested.👍 1Comment

by Dan HochMy users are quite divided about the FB and Twitter share buttons. So for now I have them turned off but want to know how I can enable them for only the author of the post. Also can they be moved? Say...
