FB share button on sott page not working?

At least, its not working on my machine here. The icon doesn't even show up, it just says "share".

It just started to happen, thought I'd pass it along.
 
It works for me Gimpy. When I click on the FB icon, up pops FB login page to SOTT.net. :)

Still not working on my end. No idea...Hubby did just change out parts on my machine, I think he put in a new graphic card? I'll have him look at it tonight. :flowers:

Same thing here, actually - no fb icon at all.

It appears to be an icon issue - the word 'share' is there in place of the fb icon, which is a little confusing.

When I try to use the 'share', it won't post the article. I'm going to try to copy/paste the urls and see if that works.

(Added a few minutes later) Copy/pasting the url's worked. :flowers:
 
Well, the Share button is no longer working because it isn't there anymore.

It turns out that the Share button has been deprecated by FB in favor of the Like button, which now lets you add a comment when you click Like.

There is also a Send button, which lets you send an article to your FB pals or groups.

For some reason, I can't get the Like popup box to work. It's not loading the stylesheet info from FB's servers. But the Send button works fine!

It's been a day of weird problems like this, so who knows... maybe it's on FB's end, or maybe it's on our end.
 
As long as I can copy/paste the url to post an article, I'm not going to worry about it. :)

That's what I figured too. Though for younglings and people used to just pressing the FB button to share and leave comments on their walls, it might be a nice feature to have working on sott pages too.

I noticed that it's quite often that FB has glitches of all kinds, so maybe we need to just wait this one out? Fwiw.

It's showing up for me on that article.

Facebook was acting up on me yesterday though, so it would seem to be a problem at their end.
