I have looked through options and so forth, haven't as yet found a way to delete or shut it off.

Thank you.

Yeah I've been trying to figure it out all day. Someone answer this please!

This icon is completely unnecessary. If we have a twitter account, there should be a section in the options of our accounts that allow us to register our twitter to our RIU. Otherwise, for all of us people who don't have twitter and don't give a crap about it, we should be able to disable this annoying side tab that gets in the way of posting and reading threads. Do enough people really have twitters that this is needed???

at the moment there is no way to turn it off I will be adding it as an option in your profile, was just testing it out.

Thanks for clarifying! Much appreciated

if you use FireFox you can download a add-on called ''Adblock '' this will let you block the adds on sites and it will block the tweet add thing on the side to and the adds that get put onto a person's sig after their post. Enjoy

So how safe is it to link RIU to your twitter account? Seems like a security breech.

That I think is another valid concern...

That and let's keep twitter noddy's off the site never been able to stand that site/concept. (although i loved the line from the film The Other Guys "At the crime scene. LOL" )

I would think tweeting from this site is the biggest mistake a person can do no matter if they are going it lagit. the last think we need is people knowing that we are growing and well we could get unwanted people at our places

 

[PussymOneyWeed]

Yeah this shit needs to dissapear fast. Very annoying

Firefox + AdBlock Plus

Right clicked on the "tweets" icon -> Click "Adblock Plus: Block Image" -> Click Add Filter -> Hit F5 to refresh page.

Thanks admin,
I can appreciate trying new things and testing stuff, as I used to run a lot of sites, but ya, this thing needs a different option. It's really irksome.



thanks again.

Thanks you. I don't do twitter or face book. I want nothing to do with those things as I believe they are data mining things and people are willingly putting out too damn much info on themselves in those things.
I don't like how a lot of sites are having those social sites coded into their site.

 

[BL0TT0]

I tell people about adblock twice in 2 other threads about it, and get no rep. He says it once, and gets rep? WTF!

Very good point. I still have everything but twitter. I dont do status updates or any of that anymore. When my flat got robbed though I realized, my status read "in class". Of course no ones home if im the only one and im in class 2 minutes ago.

Yes, there is crime related to those status sharing sites such as Facebook or Twitter which is all the more reason not to connect them to every other site out here that's trying to get you to do so. Facebook statuses started out asking, "what is on your mind?" which I thought was best but now it has become what are you doing/where are you/who are you with etc. which are mostly useful to thieves and probably not anyone else...

Meh, i don't call things like facebook a security issue or such, they offer you the abiblity to chose who can read statuses, you get to chose who is your friend and who is not, ultimately it's pure user incompetence that causes any issues (don't get me started on people being raped and killed via facebook, they deserve it, but that's neither here nor there )

The best thing i've seen for twitter and such so far is the ability to just click on a video your watchin, and whoops, you've accidentally just tweeted that you're watching 9 midgets having a gangbang in the grotto, damnit!
