I've just wrote a 5 star review the ITPFloatingShare and i promised to write here too, because this plugin is also on the same quality of excellence! Lots of configurable otions, custom codes, lots of icon themes, and so on. Install and 10 sec of configuration and profit!
When you use the module or plugin's Center style css with firefox it adds 3-4 extra pixels of space to the bottom of the module. If you care about what your site looks like cross-browser this is not good. I only gave it a fair because of this lack of cross-browser friendlyness. If you want to post up on thier forum it appears you have to pay so I dont think this qualifies as non-commercial either.

Thank you for great review!!! :)
It is open source and you are able to edit CSS styles easily. You will find them in style.css in the folder of the extension.
The Members site is for premium services, but you can publish absolutely free issues, ideas, questions on GitHub.
I have written that on the page of the extension, describing ways to get support :)
What a brilliant module, so easy to configure and looks great.
I just love the fact you have so many icon choices that you can display.
Whats even better is it just works.
Working just fine on Joomla 2.5.7

I downloaded the mod as wel as the plugin and I am not sure which i like more yet. It was easy to set up and does anything it says. I only have one issue with the alignment of the plugin. When I want the buttons to show in the centre of the article, it still shows on the left. When I select right it will align right though. I haven't figure out how to fix this, so if anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it.. Besides that little issue it is really a great plugin and I rate it as Excellent! Thanks for this great plugin/mod!
Over past year I've tried the top 5 or so social sharing modules in directory and this one takes the cake!
Here's why:
- Option to add custom buttons! (fyi you can grab ready-made Google+ buttons at "developers [dot] google [dot] com" and place right into this module)
- Fully editable [and clean] CSS
- Huge selection of modern icon styles
- It's not powered by "ShareThis," so there's none of that b.scorecard.research script that ShareThis forces on your site
- No hidden links (beware some less reputable modules surreptitiously place link to their site in your source code - check your source)
GREAT WORK, THANKS!

This plugin is great and simple for use, but I have one problem with thumbnail. When I submit on facebook, then I can choose thumbnail between all images which are on first page directly or indirectly.
I only want to have default image on thumbnail:)

Installed the module, set status to published and the site no longer shows. Unpublished the module, site is back.
Waste of time.

Thanks for the bad review but I can't find anything useful in it that can help me to improve the extension. :)
The extension works well. I cannot find a problem. Would you check the "log" files? Could you send me more information about your version of Joomla, OS, PHP version ...? You will find a contact form on my site.
Test the extension to other platforms. Don't give up! ;)
Cheers, :)

Very simple yet elegant plugin.
Works just as advertised with side effects with Yoo theme templates.
My 2 cents: the category/article exclusion might be a little more flexible adding a positive list like "Publish only in these categories".
This is the only reason why it didn't earn an "excellent" rating.

Downloaded and installed in under 2 minutes. I had tried out numerous social share plugins and this is by far the best. Easy and simple configuration, many many button style sets to choose from, and they all look very professionally done. They look great on my site, Thank You !
