[Plugin: Share Buttons by Lockerz / AddToAny] 'Add to Any' sending code for quotation mark

I normally never click the ‘Share/Save’ button – I click directly on the Twitter icon. When I do click on the ‘Share/Save’ button, though, yes, the dropdown menu appears and when I use that, it seems to work fine.

I’ve tried so many combinations of this that unfortunately now I can’t remember which combination led me to the page on addtoany.com but that has happened too.

I appreciate your trying to work this through with me. I use that Twitter icon twenty times a day at least.

Incidentally, I noticed the problem the other day on a friend’s tweet:

https://twitter.com/#!/misslindadee/status/182036426274258944

but I don’t know if that was through Add-to-Any

Mmmmmm…..why is this problem marked ‘resolved’ ? I can still reproduce the problem.

Go to this page: https://www.thepoliticalcarnival.net/?s=feingold and click on the ‘Twitter’ icon – not the ‘Share/Save’ button.

I just saw the code in two different browsers – the most recent versions of Firefox and Opera. It seems okay in Chrome and IE9.

I was able to reproduce when *quickly* clicking the standalone Twitter button during page load, before the ‘drop-down menu’ script loads. This happens because the plugin provides a fallback link for the standalone Twitter button, etc. that is used temporarily until the script loads and overrides the link.

If you wait for your page to fully load, it works flawlessly. If you’re quick like a cat, the special character encoding is messed up.

So you’re not crazy ?? – the fallback links have a character encoding bug. This bug will be addressed in the next plugin release. Thanks for reporting!

Ahh…I hadn’t seen it as connected to the speed I click on the Twitter icon with…thanks for checking on this.

It’s always good to know that I’m not crazy but as you know, there are always so many variables which affect this stuff that it’s very difficult to isolate what’s what. I am a fast typist and, in the case of that site which I’m the webmaster for, when I see that one of the two content creators I work with has posted something I find of interest, I do want to get it out on Twitter asap.

Not knowing exactly how you have it set up, I had not realized it would be connected to the fallback links. We just switched to a new host and that’s when I noticed the problem, so it may have something to do with the speed of our new server.

I’m happy to know that it will be addressed in the next plugin release and I’m certainly happy to report it. We’ve used Add-to-Any for close to two years now and that’s the only problem I remember ever having with it.

Fixed in the latest release. Thanks again for raising the issue!

Wow – when you said ‘the next plugin release’ I didn’t know you meant right away. Thanks very much. I use Add-to-Any all the time, usually through Opera, my default browser, so having to replace that code was getting old. I don’t remember ever having to do it before moving to our new host, though….very strange.

This is *much* appreciated!

@lwdgrfx thanks for your kind words. ??
