The new "share" sidebar is very annoying to me. It waits a few seconds then jumps out to make you notice it. Every. Single. Page. View.

Is there a way to turn it off? Apparently it can be done forum-wide, but a personal setting works fine too.

I don't know what you're talking about, because I block those things in every page via browser add-ons.

I could recommend some browser add-ons for you, if you're interested? What browser are you using?

I'm using Chrome.

(Well, technically I also use Firefox but on Firefox I have noscript installed and it transparently blocks it. And if it didn't I'd use remove-it-permanently.)
 
I can disable it for members

In chrome you've an add-on called "HTTP Switchboard". It's the best Ad-on I've ever used, in any browser. It's kind of like Noscript. Give it a try! Also, for an adblocker, use ublock (microblock, mublock). Much better than* adblock plus.

Let me know what you think.

*Thank you Dembadon :P
