Please remove Community Share Buttons at the left

Some time ago, Community Share Buttons started to appear on the left on the Tech Community Discussion Hubs. With normal zoom (100%), they overlap the text and are very annoying. Please get rid of these or give instructions on how to remove them.

I found this article from 2018: Community Share Buttons | Microsoft Community Hub

But I did not notice these buttons before, or they were not annoying. It seems they were meant to be on the right side, not the left side.

    Hi Allen, I am having the same issue.  Regardless of the screen size there needs to be an option to move/hide/minimise.  This is making the site unusable for me.  Here are my settings.

    Dropping the Scale to 125% or even 100% makes the sidebar shrink and makes it less of an issue.  Regardless I would suggest an option to move to the right or hide would be a step forward.

    PS. My eyesight is not as good as it used to be.

    _Bparker_​ Over the footer yes, but not like the rest of the page your showing, do you know what screen resolution your on?

      First image was a screenshot of fullscreen on a 1280x1024 display.
      Second and third image are screenshot of smaller sized windows.

    Here are some screen grabs:

    You'll probably get similar results when resizing your window.

    So they don't overlap text on 100% zoom on a 1080 or 4k screen. I am wondering if your feedback is relating to a specific resolution or screen size? can you share some more details? maybe a whole screen grab rather than just the share buttons?

    If your familiar with developer tools on your browser, run this in your console:

    window.screen.width + " x " + window.screen.height
