It seems that after I enabled the sharebar on http://www.tekgoblin.com all of my facebook like buttons and facebook integration has stopped working. What could be conflicting with it? I will leave the plugin enabled temporarily till you look at it.

Hey there,

I think it's because you're loading the Facebook XML code separately while I used the generic JS version in the Sharebar plugin. Check out the Facebook developer site and try using the FXML version of the code instead of the default Sharebar stuff.

Sorry, I mean the XFBML code, not FXML. You can read more about it in the documentation: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web

Actually it looks like Facebook has stopped support their Share button. They recommend using the new 'Like' button but they don't offer a square style for that.

For now, try replacing the code with this:

<script src="http://widgets.fbshare.me/files/fbshare.js"></script>

This is the fbshare.me button that should be fully compatible with the other Facebook stuff on your page.

I've had that problem with the Facebook button as well - I'm not sure if it's a cache issue or something with their servers. I've actually had the problem with several buttons (including Tweet Meme) and not just when using Sharebar, so it may just be a problem with share buttons in general. Sometimes they register counts and at other times they don't.
