Any update on this? I also tried to cancel and then give the authorization again and to use the feature on another browser (Firefox), but it still didn't work.

You can see if you have already enable sharing with a social network there. You are only asked for authorization if you have not already given it. You should be able to share posts on authorized social networks freely.

Thanks Alejandro, but I had already associated my LinkedIn account and checked "Allow me to send updates to my LinkedIn status page from features at ProZ.com" some time ago.

One thing though, when I "authorize" the link with my LinkedIn account (inputting its password), the page goes blank, although, after reloading my profile page, the association appears to have been completed successfully.

P.S. I've noticed your PM only after posting this, but, as I was saying in my previous post, no, I don't see any popup when I try to share on LinkedIn, and nothing happens on LinkedIn. That's why I was asking...

Dear Mirko,

Thank you for raising this question. I see that the "Social network settings" link aims at the wrong location, you can see your settings here: [url removed] . I will have the link fixed.

You can see if you have already enable sharing with a social network there. You are only asked for authorization if you have not already given it. You should be able to share posts on authorized social networks freely.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any question or need anything else.

Best regards,
Alejandro

I tried using this, but it doesn't work... (Chrome). No popup, no popup notification, no update, no nothing. Also, the "Social network settings" link in the "Share" section seems to bring nowhere relevant...

Social networking option added to ProZ.com forums and discussion features | Do you have a pop-up blocker?

Hi Dulce,

When clicking in a checkbox (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter), a window pops up requesting you for authorization to link your network to your profile.

Is that window ever appearing to you? Check your pop-up blocker configuration, may be you can try by disabling it for a minute (in the case you have one).

Best,
Gastón

Dear Gaston,

I just tried to link my profile to LinkedIn, I checked the corresponding box on this page : [url removed]

But nothing happened, despite I saw the little hourglass, which vanished in the air 2 seconds later.

Maybe there is a bug.

Thank you for your help

Hi Catherine,

When you hit on the check box, a pop-up should appear.

I've tested it on Firefox 3.6.3, Chrome 5.0.375 and Internet Explorer 8, and doesn't seems to be a bug in the pop-up itself.

Make sure your browser is not automatically closing pop-ups (pop-ups blocker), and can you tell me what browser are you using?

Best!

Dear Gaston,
Many thanks for your so fast answer.

I have followed your advice and deactivated the pop-ups blocker ... nothing changed. I get the vanishing hourglass.
I'm using the latest version of Firefox (3.6.6.)

Strange, indeed !
Best wishes

Catherine,

Could you submit a support request? I would like to follow-up this privately (so you can send me some screenshots or other information I might need).

Submit a support request at: [url removed]

I will be contacting you back after that.

Best,
Gastón

Hi everyone,

If you use social networking sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook you may be interested in a new ProZ.com feature. When posting to a ProZ.com forum or other discussion, you now have the option to share your post on your social networks as well. Selecting this option will cause a status update to be posted to the networks you specify, with the title of your ProZ.com forum post and a link back to read it in context.

The first time you use this feature, your social network(s) will ask for your permission. You can also configure this authorization from your social network settings.

If you prefer not to use social networking features at ProZ.com, you can disable social networking in your settings page to hide these new options.

To see the new feature in action, simply reply to this topic--look for the "Share" option in the reply form.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please post them below.

Best regards,

Gastón
