Change Log:
21/11/10 - v0.1 -> Initial beta release.
21/01/11 - v0.1 -> v0.2 -> The social sites are now cached instead of being queried on the showthread and profile pages. Fixed a bug where the icons wouldn't show up when adding a reply with quick reply, which may also have caused a PHP error. Fixed a bug where the icons wouldn't be displayed in post previews, PMs or forum announcements. To upgrade, deactivate Social Sites, reupload ./inc/plugins/socialsites.php and ./admin/modules/config/socialsites.php, activate Social Sites.
07/02/11 - v0.2 -> v0.2.1 -> Added a Who's Online List location for when a user is editing their social sites. Added a breadcrumb navigation link to the Social Sites page in the User CP. To upgrade, reupload ./inc/plugins/socialsites.php and ./admin/modules/config/socialsites.php
03/12/11 - v0.2.1 -> v0.2.2 -> Made compatible with MyBB 1.6.5. To upgrade, reupload ./inc/plugins/socialsites.php

Note: Then you didn't follow the instructions and add the CSS to your stylesheet.

very good idea, nice but the installation instructions are not correct.

There is no need to write '/Upload/' folder into directories.

Note: If you actually read what it says, 'Upload' is an instruction, not part of the file path; the file path is in italics.

100% Funcional. Good Work.

Just amazing. A 'must have' plugin these days

Xdlo - 20th January 2011

Very nice. However I've just found two bugs. First one, when posting I get this message (sent by email):

Type: 2
File: inc/plugins/socialsites.php (Line no. 648)
Message
array_key_exists() [<a href='function.array-key-exists'>function.array-key-exists</a>]: The second argument should be either an array or an object

Second, when reading private messages social icons are NOT displayed. Instead, the template mark {socialsites} is seen.

I'll try to fix them some day.

Note: Both of these bugs have been fixed.

Works pretty great! It's a great plugin.

Only one thing I've noticed:
The 'expand' link on the registration page takes the viewer to the top of the page. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know, my email is swasleyjoe@gmail.com

EDIT:
He helped me fix this bug!! Thanks a ton Matt!

Here's the email on how he fixed it :)
