    Please help me get rid of these new social media tabs of the left of the screen. What am I doing wrong?

    You're doing nothing wrong. The bar is being tested to see how many of us like it. I haven't seen any posts in favor of it so far. Letting the admins know we object here on the forum is about the best we can do.

    TXBobcat mentioned going "full screen" helps. It's helped on my laptop.

    Yes, fullscreen helps, but that means losing ready access to the other windows we have open. That's unnecessary and unacceptable...

    I also would like the social media tabs to be removed, they cover part of the directory. I don't use them and should be able to remove them. Thank you.

    Thanks for your patience. The test results are in and it does look like people use these things enough to keep them. We understand that many of you would rather not see them so we are going to build an option where you can turn them off. We are working on building that option now and hopefully can report back with instructions on how to turn them off soon.

    Thanks again for your patience and feedback.

    Andy, are you able to differentiate between those of us that clicked on the bar looking for a way to get rid of it versus those that actually used it to share a page?

    Yes, it shows the actual number of shares on the various services (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Gmail, etc) not the clicks on the bar. So far it's still earning it's keep but we'll continually monitor it's usage and should it fall considerably we'll ditch it.

    The good news is that we have added an option for you all to turn off those buttons. You can find it on the Edit Profile page, here is a link:
    https://www.campgroundreviews.com/profile/edit/

    Where it says "Social Sharing Buttons" set that to Hide.

    Thanks again for your patience while we tested out these things.

    Thank you all for the feedback. I plan to closely watch the metrics on these Social Sharing buttons and remove them if they don't hold up.
