    Don't show "social bookmark" icons in "private" or "members only" forums?

    Any chance to do this (or make it possible in future).

    Some posters are worried that their posts in our "off-topic" (adults only) forums could be linked to from DIGG etc. The buttons make them feel uneasy.... Anything that could be done about that? Like exclusion on a per forum basis?

    adult posts on digg won't last more than 3 minuets... and even still, they get a link, and permission denied error, so long as the forum is not open to guests....

    This is a good idea though.

    Perhaps in the forum permissions, under the Moderate Linkbacks area, "Show Social BookMarks"? Y/ N

    I don't mean "adult" as in rude adult, just not what I'd consider "U" content. But the main point was people don't like the links being there as they talk differently in a "members only" banter area than a global forum.

    Where you suggested it could be put is where I expected to find the option.

    Any word on this from the development team? I'd like to use this feature, but half my forums are private.
