    admin/mod forum - can I turn off 'twitter/facebook' share functions?

    As it says on the tin (or topic as the case is), can I turn off the 'share' functions that part of the default template for the left-hand pane on posts within private forums where only admins & mods can access?

    Yes.

    AdminCP > Settings > Options > Topic Display Options
    Enable Share Topics to Twitter?
    Enable Share Topics to Facebook?

      That seems to be a global function - I meant only within the admin forums, so private content can't be shared publicly.

          There is no function to disable this per forum.

          You may be able to hide it with some custom css.

            Thanks for the suggestion.

            May I suggest this be a function in future editions, to hide the share function when using Admin/Mod (or other private) forums

              You can add a Child Style to your existing style then add this to the CSS in that style:
              Code:
              .b-sharing-menu {display:none;}
              Then in the Channel Manager within the AdminCP you can set that style for the forums in question.

              Though, these buttons don't do anything that a user can't do with their browser just by copying and pasting the URL. No one will have access to them if they don't have permission on your forum. Facebook and Twitter won't even be able to pull the title or description of the content.
