Share Drop Down Menu - Submit Threads to Slashdot & Digg

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, a new "share" drop down menu has been added at the thread level, allowing users with Slashdot or Digg accounts to submit threads to these sites. The creator hopes to gain more exposure for some of the amazing threads on the site. Other sharing options, such as del.icio.us, will also be added later. The drop down has already led to a record-breaking number of online users, although it may be due to yahoo bots rather than the new feature. Overall, the new share drop down has been a successful and well-received addition.

"Share" drop down

Also I added a new drop down menu at the thread level. It's called "share". For those with a Slashdot or Digg account you can submit a thread to these sites. I'll be adding a few more later today.
