With the release of version 5.1 of Active Campaign Email Marketing software, we introduced a new feature: social sharing. The social sharing feature allows you and your subscribers to easily share your email campaigns among a variety of social networking websites. This feature works by including a set of popular social network icons on both the Campaign Reports page in the admin side of the software, and the public message archive page. Below is a screen shot of how the social sharing network icons appear, when viewing an archived message on the public interface of the software:

You can see the social share icons circled on the right.
If you would like to remove these icons from the public archive page, you will need a little bit of HTML knowledge. You will need to edit the following HTML template file on your server:
Go to this file on your server, and open it in a text editor (such as Notepad, for example). You will see some HTML code near the top that looks like this:
There are a couple of different ways you can edit this. The easiest thing to do would be to simply remove these three lines entirely. However, another thing you could do would be to add a "display:none;" style to the opening div tag -- that way, you could revert the change easily later on if you decide you would like to re-enable the social sharing feature. To do this, change the code above to look this like:
Using this method, you can easily remove the red text above if you ever decide to add the social sharing icons back to your public archive in the future.
* * * As always, be sure to make a backup of the message.htm file before saving any changes.
