I hate those bars (here they are less obtrusive). Some sites let you move them out of view, other sites you apparently cant do anything about them, and they sometimes make reading very inconvenient.

Maybe do a poll to see if anybody uses them. Some people might like them I don't use them

I wondered if they went to related pages on FB or Twitter, etc. Many times the icons are on a page for that reason, but in this case, they don't. They go to My personal social media pages which really have little to do with being here. It can leave.

Maybe there is a financial benefit to this board to have them showing off to the side? Remember that someone somewhere does have to pay for these free boards, and ads are one way. I have an ad blocker that Proboards keeps asking me to turn off. I don't, but maybe those social icons are an alternative of some kind.
The line of icons doesn't really bother me, I have a wide screen monitor, and they do not even touch the text page for me at all. I do use the Facebook link on occasion, because I never bothered to put a bookmark for Facebook anywhere else, and mostly just use it to look at gardener related pages. I guess I don't really care one way or the other.

Yeah, they don't get in the way. I just thought maybe there was a way I could turn them off just for me, not everyone else.

I use my computer for reading forums and do not really notice that bar. Doesn't bother me in the least.

Everything else is finally working right. No need to change what don't need fixing.

Interesting that those links don't take us to the "not just tomatoes" pages....
I hate those unnecessary distractions too.... Not only do they clutter up the screen, but they generally prevent seeing the stuff I want to see from loading untill the bar fully loads!
Definitely should be deleted for greater site function!
