    I think the privacy concerns are only a small part of it. I took another look at the site stats, and the majority of our users are visiting on out-of-date browsers that don't display the button. Additionally, I overestimated how many users have Google accounts. With hindsight, I can see that my original expectations weren't based in reality, so the goal of 1000 +1's in a week was simply unrealistic.

    We'll keep the button active, but place it somewhere less intrusive next week. The number of internet users who are signing up for Google accounts and updating to current browsers are increasing by thousands every day, so I think we'll continue to make steady progress towards our goal.

    I've really appreciated the PMs and posts from people that have gone out of their way to set-up Google accounts or update their browsers just to push that funny button. Thank you!

    Digging around a little bit I found this, and made a jpg out of it. Love the commentary, and it gives me a whole lot of insight into why this site was started.

    This was taken from back in 10-24-2004, things have changed a lilbit since LOL. I gotta wonder how many posts there were made on that day vs. how many are made currently :biggrin_255:

    Dumb question!

    Sammycat and I use the same laptop, she already clicked on it signed on under her profile.
    I tried to click on it while signed on under my profile and it wouldn't let me!

    Why? Is there a way to fix it so I can click +1???
     
    Admin Thanks this.

    Try clicking it from a different internet browser than the one that sammycat used to click it.

    Might also need to delete all of the cookies and history.

    Cookies and history aren't shared between browsers (unless you do an import), so that shouldn't be necessary.

    If he does not have another browser, then that might help there also.
