SEO

I'd like to see an option in the next release that will allow us to select the social bookmarkings to be inside the actual postbit, but I'd like the links to be to the thread, rather than the actual post.

That way they're more visible than in just the dropdown menu, but would link to the content I care about -- the entire thread, rather than just the post.

I'd also like to see the ability to expand on the options, allowing us to select our own "social bookmarking" sites, add icons, etc.

Good idea!

I hope the thread url of the first page can be used for social bookmarks. Otherwise there are duplicated links which are virtually the same...

This already exists-- click on the Linkback drop down on the top right. those are thread-level.

the ones in the postbit, are post-level.

He means he want to have the option to have the icons that appear in the postbit not linked to the individual posts but to the whole thread. This would give the thread links more exposure than just the drop down menu

You're absolutely right Bama

Perhaps you can give me the template pattern for the thread-level links?
