Facebook "Like" on threads

Is this new? Is it even part of the forum? Or have I somehow installed a shitty Firefox plugin that is doing it?

It's a new feature by the looks of it. Comes up on my Chrome too.

It's new. It should just appear at the bottom of the first post in each thread.

Yep it does, that's OK then, thought I'd installed something I didn't want.

Does it really count it as viewing Facebook, just from having the Like button on here?

Was trying to encourage them to add more social media features to our company website at work, but that is something I hadn't considered. Hmm

The 'like' button makes a request to facebook every time that you view a page on here, whether you click the like button or not, so if a company was monitoring your internet usage they would see http requests going to facebook which could cause problems for some

I quite like the fact that he's worried that whilst he's wasting work's time on here they might get annoyed if they think he's actually wasting their time on facebook! :icon_bigg
