    If you're a Chrome or Firefox+Greasemonkey user, you might be interested in this. It's a script that adds Share buttons to Boards.ie forums, threads and posts.

    Script Summary: Adds Google+, Twitter, Facebook and Reddit share buttons to Boards.ie threads, forums and posts.

    Adds a "Share" button to the top and bottom of every thread and forum page, as well as on every post. Clicking it brings up a set of social media buttons, allowing you to share links on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Reddit. To close the display, just click the button again.

    This is how the buttons work for forums, threads and posts:
    • Forums: Share buttons on each page of the forum beside the "New Thread" button. No matter which page you are on, the url shared will be of the form .../forumdisplay.php?f=XXX, meaning the link shared will bring you to the first page of that forum.
    • Threads: In a thread, the share button appears beside the "Post Reply" button at the top and bottom of the thread. Like forums, the url shared will be of the form .../showthread.php?t=XXX, meaning the link shared will bring you to the first page of that thread.
    • Posts: The Share button is beside the Quote button of every post. The url shared is of the form .../showthread.php?p=XXXXXX, meaning the link shared will bring you to the post within the context of the thread. Example (link to this post): http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=79466201

    Google+: Allows you to share with your circles. Clicking opens a frame allowing you to add a description and choose which circles.

    Twitter: Opens window allowing you to edit exactly what is posted. Defaults to the relevant link.

    Facebook: If you are signed in to Facebook, one-click is all you need to "like" the link. If not, a window will pop up asking you to sign in. Your like will show up on your wall/timeline as a like, as well as in the newsfeed ticker of your friends, and possibly in their full newsfeed.

    Reddit: Standard reddit submit functionality (I'm not a reddit user, so feel free to message me if it's not working as expected).

    Note: The Share button is deprecated and no longer supported by Facebook, which is why I'm using Like instead. More details here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share/
