    What is the purpose of “send to friend” email if the “Share powered by share this” is on the sidebar anyway and has an option for email?

    Why not get rid of “send to friend” and have the toggle for “send to friend” control the “Share powered by share this” feature? Then “Share” could be moved to where “send to friend” currently is (just personal opinion that it would look better there) and you could actually control the ability to share listings easily rather that just removing one of the 2 options.

    Also this may just be on my site but the like/tweet/g+ box at the top of the side bar mashes the top with no top margin to buffer the box. This makes the top border disappear.

    Hi,

    send to friend on “share this” can be disabled and many members do, because it slows down the website. Some removes all of it.

    We think it’s better to have our own form instead of linking to add this for that reason, in addition using a propietary form looks more professional.

    For the second problem, we would need to have a look at your website, please providew a URL and we will follow up.

    Thanks

    What CSS script did you add to turn off the Send to Friend? I’d like to turn it off on my page?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    if you are using prices and payments addon, send to friend can be set to “No” for erach price package.

    This will hide it from all listings.

    If you are not using prices and payments addon, you can hide it with css:

    

    .b_sendtofriend {
    display: none;
}
    

    the 1st option is better, because it also removes the hidden form from the page.
    

    Thanks
