    Advice on making changes

    When I enable the new "likes" feature, I end up with a white bar across the top of my forum with the likes to the right and the cursor is active across the whole of the bar.

    What file do I alter to change the location and the colour of the text.
    The love heart looks a simple change to make

    So is it just a case of making changes to that file and uploading it or do we have to re import the main xml for changes to take effect

    The css runs off that file in real time. No product changes are necessary at all.

    This is getting to be a weird one
    With opera the likes looks almost half decent. The way it should with a box and the normal background behind it
    With ie8 it just shows as a white line and no grey box behind it
    So it looks like there is some compatibility problem with ie8
    And the share button does not show up

    As i've upgraded to ie9, i'm useless for testing anything on older ie versions.

    Try setting a width on the #vbseo-likes element

    Same thing was happening to me.. did you have any custom share icons added before like for facebook or something? they changed the format of the links for the share. So once you update the links it shows up. But if you have likes disabled in a forum the share does not show as these are linked :/ I don't like this and i hope they fix it for further version.

    Can you be more specific about that issue? I'm not sure I follow what happened.

    Been away from the computer most of the day. Just the odd look in to see things are still running
    Tomorrow I will be back to trying to resolve the problem.
    The only share links I use is an external button.
    Its not a separate hack as such
    I will try Brians idea tomorrow. It cant be much wrong causing the problem, since it works under Opera and not ie7/8

    Cheers Brian, that seemed to work.

    No rounded corners like I see with Opera, but it cured the line across the screen, with the cursor active

    For anyone else suffering the same problem, this is the extra code I added to the css file

    width: 70px;

    So my #vbseo-likes { now looks like this.

    #vbseo-likes {
    float: right;
    margin:50;
    color:#3e3e3e;
    height:50px;
    width: 70px;
    background-color:#f6f6f6;
    border:1px solid #e7e7e7;
    -moz-border-radius:5px;
    border-radius:5px;
    -webkit-radius-border:5px;
    position:relative;
    color: #3e3e3e;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    _width:128px;
    min-width:108px;
    cursorointer;
    *z-index: 10000;
    }

    Easier to show it that way for those starting out

    Now all that remains is getting the share option to show
