New Facebook "like" button - NOT

Thanks for the insight. I certainly didn't do it on purpose. I don't use Facebook. Never have. Never will. I don't even have a Face book account.

Is there a way I can get rid of the addon?

TIA

That button has been there for well over a year, its just been moved up the page.

I use an iMac at home or an iPad if im away like right now.

What browser are you guys seeing the slow down using?

I'm still on IE8. Work computer, so I don't know that I have a lot of a choice. I guess I could upgrade to IE9, but I hate change. I think I figured out that it is a FB plug in, and I've googled how to remove it, but no joy ... yet.

The only way that I can get it to go away is to set my security setting to high on the security tab in the options. But, if I do that, I can no longer use the emoticons and some web sites don't load properly. I think that it blocks Java script.

Anyway, I know very little about the computer. I may take it to Staples and let the computer nerd (said with great respect) see if he can get rid of it.

Im using Safari on Mountain Lion, latest OS and browser for Apple. No built in facebook support like previous versions and i dont download plugins.

Prehaps there is something in the user settings you can play with?

I'm open to suggestions. I never saw the FB like button until I posted this question. I can't think of anything I did differently. That's why I thought that the mods just added it. I was apparently wrong on that though.

I just logged in to the Fest on my wife's laptop (I had never been on the Fest on her computer) and the same issue was there. This leads me to believe that it was something that just started and was done/allowed by the mods.

Oh well. I guess I'l just have to bear with slower browsing

It is possibly the fact that the moderators have added/are adding a bunch of new sub forums including one for the coming 2 series and 4 series cars due later this year (AFAIK)

Prehaps its this and the Facebook thing is a "scapegoat" for want of a better word?

Back on my iMac again from a weeks holiday, certainly cant notcie any slowdown yet, but this is the first thread i've clicked on after catching up on my PM's
