Useful features and advantages
One of the most fabulous and useful features of Post Vertical Float is that it can be set after what percentage of page preview to display and hide. This is really a great little trick to take users attention. As you know our eyes always intuitively detect movable objects. So choose the right part of the content to remind the user that share feature is available on your post.
You can also controll offset from the content horizontally and vertically. Or choose custom top position of Post Float Bar when loaded. With these options you can prevent Float Bar to overlap the featured image of the content of the post.
On Mobile Devices
Post Vertical bar is not useful for mobiles as there is not enough space next to the content where to display. So when you use Post Verticle Float on a desktop for mobile need to set separate mobile based position or use static display position (Content top, Content bottom or Content top and bottom).
