    Social networking icons overlapping with Edit Post button

    I just noticed that this is going on with my forum when you compress the window a bit (not overly compressed)

    You can take a look at it at PDAPhoneHome - PDAPhoneHome Home Page if needed.

    Any ideas how to address it?

    There's really nothing to fix... there simply isn't enough room for what is there.

    With vbseo 3.6, we take a new approach to the social icons as you can see here on vbseo.com It is now a hover (next to the like link) which will rectify this issue. I wouls suggest doing nothing for now and jump on 3.6 when it is released, soon.

    Thanks Brian, that's good to know. I like the new position better, but I wonder if hiding it until you hover is wise since people may not realize they are there. This is something we really want to advertise. Would it be possible to have them actually spread out across that row when you hover over it?

    It is set up like this for SEO reasons.

    Due to the hover javascript, those links don't officially appear in the source code, but rather are added via DOM scripting at run time.

    This keeps 31212341231234123423423 'like' and 'share' links out of google, especially on your "in your content" lists.

    Perhaps there's a way to call an onload function that mimics the hover effect without the mouse at all. That way you still get the same seo advantage of the links not officially being there, but display to users without hover action. I personally haven't dived into the 3.6 codebase much yet so don't know it's inner workings that well at this time.
