Show your support and click the Google + icon on the homepage at the bottom of the right side bar under "Stay Connected". Let's get that count well past 100!

Mobile users would find it helpful if you could have a link here.

What are the consequences for members? What happens? I have a really crappy Internet connection, and I certainly don't want any background apps running. I have a hard enough time getting onto PF as it is, sometimes.

Thanks

Turbo all it does is tells google you like the site.
I like the site (of course) - I just didn't want to engage some some background app - especially one that "phones home". I don't have enough bandwidth to engage in that stuff.

Thanks, Greg.
 
Clicked the +
 
I don't have a google + option there.
 
What if I just keep clicking the button?

You'd just toggle the +1 on and off. Doesn't add :)

I clicked what looked like the Google+ button in the lower right corner of the main PF page, and it took me to the page below. What do I do now?

You need a Google + account. Don't continue if you don't want one.
