I have used AddThis before and there script is fine, but I feel Sharethis offers more and would like to use this. My forum is <a href="http://dvdbargains.forumotion.net" rel="nofollow">http://dvdbargains.forumotion.net</a> , anyone any ideas why the links won't work?? The link shows as a hyperlink but the &lt;script;javascript etc just stays black. </p> http://forums.sharethis.com/topic/sharethis-slowing-down-other-javascript#post-1105 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:39:25 +0000 denilama 1105@http://forums.sharethis.com/ <p>I also have the same problem as Amplicon.

But on our IE browsers (both 6 &#38; 7) it seems to create a 2-5 sec delay which makes the page freeze and clicking on links does not work until the share this code has loaded. </p> http://forums.sharethis.com/topic/sharethis-slowing-down-other-javascript#post-957 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:24:07 +0000 jcotton 957@http://forums.sharethis.com/ <p>Hi there</p> <p>Thanks for replying. </p> <p>To answer your question: an example of the problem showing its face is the 'videos' page - the comments box on the right briefly becomes visible when first loading the page. With Sharethis removed this doesn't happen.</p> <p>I think the additional javascript is just slowing down the loading of each page enough that a flaw with hiding DIVs (either an inate one or one in the way we've structured our code) is showing itself.</p> <p>Does that make sense?</p> <p>Cheers - Jon </p> http://forums.sharethis.com/topic/sharethis-slowing-down-other-javascript#post-948 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:45:34 +0000 Manu 948@http://forums.sharethis.com/ <p>Jon,</p> <p>I looked around the site and could not find anything that I think would make the ShareThis button slow down the site.
