I have a small visual aesthetic problem.

Every time i load or refresh a new page in my website all the buttons (like, twitter, send, g+) at first they are hidden then they pop for half a second and then they flick on off, appear / disappear for a couple of times before they are visible and back to position.
Is this normal? How can i fix this... Same happens with the comment box.

When i try this on your demo page: demo.sourcecoast.com/index.php?option=co...icle&id=1&Itemid=110
at first they are hidden and then they appear once instantly which is normal and what i want.

in my case like i said they all flick on / off, appear / disappear for a couple of times before they are visible and back to position.

Is it because of my page or something?
Any ideas how can i fix that?

thank you

It's because you have another extension that's including the Facebook Javascript library. That extension, and JFBConnect, are telling Facebook to render the Like buttons, so it's happening twice.

I don't know what the other extension is, but hopefully that helps you narrow it down. If you look at the HTML on the page and search for "all.js", that is the Facebook Javascript library. You should only find a reference to that file once, from JFBConnect.

Hope that helps,
Alex

yes there was another facebook extension, i removed it and all is fine now, i thank you so much.
Your help and support is always fast and precise.

One more little thing, i remember that by default the social buttons where appearing in order twitter, g+, like, send. You told me back then a css tip to make it so the like / send button appears first and that is what i did. My question is, was there a fix or a new update that was allowing us to set their order without adding the CSS fix??

Thanks again

Glad we could help with that problem, and I'm happy that you've been pleased with our overall support. We hope you'll consider re-subscribing again in the future. We'd love to have you back as an active customer.

As for the positioning of the social buttons, that's still fixed and we don't really have any plan to change the ordering. It's done in the order it is as that causes the least amount of problems on the majority of templates. With the Like in first place, it can be cause some graphical issues on many templates and so not something we're planning to let users do with a setting.

I hope that explains, and best of luck,
Alex
