Click For Summary
Users are encouraged to show support for the PF community by clicking the Google+ icon located on the homepage sidebar. The goal is to increase the count of supporters beyond 100. Concerns were raised about potential background apps affecting users with poor internet connections, but it was clarified that clicking the icon simply indicates a like to Google. Some users expressed confusion about the process and the necessity of having a Google+ account to participate. Overall, engagement with the Google+ icon is seen as a way to enhance community visibility without significant technical implications.

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!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
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.
