    Hello Kwak,

    this happens sometimes with custom templates, you can insert <!--VBSEO_BOOKMARKS--> into your postbit template to specify location for the icons.

    I've reverted all the files after upgrading vbulletin. But still not showing.

    Anyways, where do plug that code in so the Social Bookmarking icons show up in the same location? Thank you.

    It should go somewhere before this code:
    HTML Code:
    <if condition="$post['editlink']">

    I've added <!--VBSEO_BOOKMARKS--> to my postbit template just above the code Oleg mentions above, but the social bookmarking links are still not appearing in my forums.

    What am I missing?

    I'm using vB 3.6.2 and vBSEO 3.0.0 RC6.

    Also - and maybe this is related - but when I go into my vbseocp.php, I'm prompted to select a password. I do and am told my settings are updated, but then it just loops - asks me to select a password again.

    This is on a new server. I'm in the middle of migrating my forums.

    Thanks.

    Do you use any template caching mods?

    Make sure that you uploaded fresh config_vbseo.php file and define your password in vbseocp after that (do not enter it manually in config file).

    Not that I know of.

    I've done this and no luck. Same thing is still happening. What else can I check?

    Could you please open a support ticket with ftp/admincp access for troubleshooting?

    Hi,

    My social icons are showing up on the bottom right hand side of the posts. I would like them on the left which is supposed to be the defualt.

    I have put in <!--VBSEO_BOOKMARKS--> above

    <if condition="$post['editlink']">

    and I have tried to turn the Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template on and off.

    Please post a part of your postbit template near that line.

    I see the following in your html source:
    HTML Code:
    <div style="float:right;font-size:10px;font-family:Arial;padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;">
    Please insert bookmarks tag before this div.

    I've got the same problem as these guys... if I specify Threads Only, I get no icons, only the pull down menu.... but let me ask if that's what I really want. If I have the incons on for all replies and someone Diggs a reply, will it be for the thread or the reply? I'm thinking about the benefit of all diggs in a thread going to the reply, vs. being diluted.
