If there is some method to remove this bar (Share it) without messing up other aspects of the Forum with css modification, I would appreciate knowing it. I have gone through the Hack your lefora Forum on this and could not come up with a successful css mod that did not cause other issues.
Thanks for any answers.
If your forum is public, then yes, it does show up and so far, cannot be removed.
If your forum is private it does not show up and no one has access to share anywhere.
Downside of a private forum is that you don't get into searches and the search does not work on your site.
Maybe if you are a public forum, there should be an option button whether an admin wishes this to appear or not since anyone visiting and not a member can share and send (possibly increasing your views and gaining members)
I tested one at mine and all I got was the URL to the post -- I don't know what I would get if I tried another share button.

Incorrect. I run a private forum and it DOES show up. You can share topics but it only gives a link to the topic and non members have to join to see it.
True and not true. I think you mean web searches like Google, they don't show topics from private forums but the SEARCH facility within the forum itself works OKish

Good idea to have it admin controlled but I think the plan is to remove it for Private forums completely.Maybe if you are a public forum, there should be an option button whether an admin wishes this to appear or not since anyone visiting and not a member can share and send (possibly increasing your views and gaining members)

If you have a PUBLIC forum and want to remove the SHARE THIS button, copy and paste the following code into your ADMIN > APPEARANCE > CSS page and SAVE.
/* Remove Share This button */
.share-this-topic {display:none;}
Got the Share bar back even with using the above code. Had worked previously so not sure what got changed.
Try this code instead:
/* Remove Share This button */
.addbutton {display:none;}
