Great news folks who are currently using the 4SharedReviews toolbar! You now have access to your Facebook account by accessing the “Facebook” icon which will show up on your toolbar (in IE, Firefox/Flock) . Please click “refresh toolbar” which is located under the drop down menu of the 4SR icon to the left of the bar. This should automatically update the toolbar for you. If the Facebook Icon doesn’t appear (should be located beside the Twitter icon) then simply follow these steps:
- Use the drop down menu to access the “Upgrade” option.
Upgrade the toolbar
- Once upgraded you will be asked if you wish to restart your browser. Select “restart” and the browser window will close and then open again.
- You should then see a new icon option on your tool bar which when clicked opens a slide down window like the one below to the right .
- This window authorizes your toolbar to interact with your Facebook account
and in order for it to do this you need to provide your account information which includes your email and your password. No solicitation from any third parties occurs by doing this and no information is passed to any entity. The connection is simply allowing the FB icon to access your Facebook pages for quicker access to each one. If you are uncomfortable providing this information you may choose to ignore using this feature. - To disable the Facebook feature and remove it from your toolbar in the event you prefer not to use it simply follow these steps:
Select 4SR icon and choose "Toolbar Options" and un-check the box beside FaceBook. Click "Ok" then return to the 4SR icon and select "Refresh toolbar" and the FB icon should be gone.
- For those of you who wish to use this feature, you would proceed by filling in your email and your password for your Facebook account as shown above and click “Connect”. The next screen will ask your permission to integrate with your toolbar by providing you with the options “Accept” and “Deny”. To integrate simply choose “Accept”.
Click on "Settings" button after accessing "Toolbar Options" from the drop down menu under the 4SR icon. From here select the "Facebook settings" button appearing directly below the FB check box. This brings up the screen above. Simply un-check those options you no longer wish active.
- Another feature that has been added is the ability to add your own applications to the toolbar. Simply choose the “+” that appears to the right of the toolbar and you will have access to numerous applications including Skype, a Writers apps, Games, tools, TV, News, Videos, etc. Simply choose the app you wish to add and click the “add” button. The icon for the application is then added to the end of your toolbar and you can proceed to configure it if this is required.
Selecting Plus sign allows you to add numerous applications. You’ll be taken to a
webpage which will open in your browser window and from there you can add numerous apps to make your web and toolbar experience more enjoyable, convenient and accessible.
Should you wish to remove any application that you have added simply click on the 4SR drop down menu icon, choose “Toolbar Options” and select the tab “My Stuff”. You can then hide applications or delete them simply by highlighting them.
Thanks to everyone who currently has this toolbar installed. We are now at 73 installations and I look forward to adding additional features as well as removing some of those that simply don’t fit the purpose any longer.
As always I’ll indicate the notices on Shared Reviews in my status bar and will post all information pertaining to the toolbar here on my blog.
Any feed back is of course always welcome! Hope you continue to enjoy!
Take care,
Lex

Where to begin! I'm just your average (ADD afflicted creative, all over the map kind of gal with each of my fingers and toes dipped into something different. I write, draw, paint, sculpt, airbrush, bead, knit and sometimes sew (although rarely, even though I have a brand new sewing machine) my way through usually blissful days.
