Link sharing / social bookmarking

I just noticed that the first posts on a thread now have little icons at the bottom that say link sharing. Can we edit these or something or are they just automatically put there now?

Social bookmarking.

For the buttons to work, you need to have an account at the respective sites that they link to.

I find it rather distracting, and at odds with Toytown's general policy of keeping the pages as clean as possible. A better solution in my opinion would be to use the Addthis feature, which only requires a single button. The user then selects which bookmark to use via a pop-up window.

Its a fugging eyesore.

Can we turn them off?

please

Haha, how long do you spend gazing at the first post in a thread?

pretty please
