<p>There seems to be a bug with the <a href="http://push.cx/sociable">Sociable plugin</a>, for which I provide a <a href="http://andybeard.eu/wordpress-plugin-hacks">hacked version</a> with a couple of minor modifications. The bug seems to only be for users of WordPress 2.2.1 (which you should upgrade to for security reasons)</p>

<p>There seems to be a bug with the <a href="http://push.cx/sociable">Sociable plugin</a>, for which I provide a <a href="http://andybeard.eu/wordpress-plugin-hacks">hacked version</a> with a couple of minor modifications. The bug seems to only be for users of WordPress 2.2.1 (which you should upgrade to for security reasons)</p>
<p>When you save options, the following error is encountered</p>
<blockquote><p>
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments. in /home/andyeu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sociable/sociable.php on line 659</p>
<p>Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/andyeu/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sociable/sociable.php on line 770
</p></blockquote>
<p>The display of all the draggable icons is severely messed up.</p>
<p>From what I can see in the code (as a tinkerer, not a programmer), this does not prevent the options from being saved, and the correct saved settings appear to be reflected when the page is refreshed, and on the blog itself.</p>
<p>The error appears to be in a section of the code that is related to the default icon set, but I haven&#8217;t spent too much time trying to fix it, as I would hope this will be fixed in the original.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t look on my version of the plugin as a branch, I have left all default options &#8220;as-is&#8221;, thus I will await an official fix, and then update my slightly modified version.</p>
<p>Many thanks to Edwin De Jong and <a href="http://mindykoch.com/">Mindy Koch</a> for making me aware of the problem so I could test it out with WP2.2.1</p>
<p><small>p.s. I did try to coax a website out of Edwin to link too, but he declined</small></p>

<p>Have you noticed my pages loading extremely slowly over the last few days? I am not talking about my sidebars, which appear after my content, but my articles which always load first, and usually quite fast.</p>
<p>The culprit is TwitThis, that seems to be using Amazon S3 to store images.</p>
<p>Here is the standard TwitThis code:-</p>
<pre class="brush: plain; title: ; notranslate">
&lt;!-- Begin TwitThis (http://twitthis.com/) --&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://s3.chuug.com/chuug.twitthis.scripts/twitthis.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--
document.write('&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:;&quot; onclick=&quot;TwitThis.pop();&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andybeard.eu/wp-content/uploads/twitthis_grey_72x221.gif&quot; alt=&quot;TwitThis&quot; style=&quot;border:none;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;');
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;!-- /End --&gt;
</pre>
<p>What you need to do is host the TwitThis logo on your own server to speed things up.<br />
Here is the image used that you can save to your harddisk and then upload to WordPress or other blogging platform.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn5.andybeard.name/wp-content/uploads/twitthis_grey_72x22.gif' alt='twitthis_grey_72Ã—22.gif' /></p>
<p>Then all you need to do is insert it into the code</p>
<p>In my case this is what I am using</p>
<pre class="brush: plain; title: ; notranslate">
&lt;!-- Begin TwitThis (http://twitthis.com/) --&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://s3.chuug.com/chuug.twitthis.scripts/twitthis.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--
document.write('&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:;&quot; onclick=&quot;TwitThis.pop();&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://ndybeard.eu/wp-content/uploads/twitthis_grey_72x22.gif&quot; alt=&quot;TwitThis&quot; style=&quot;border:none;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;');
//--&gt;
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;!-- /End --&gt;
</pre>
<p>Actually I have listed a broken URL above, I don&#8217;t want people just copying the code and trying to use the image from my server.</p>
<p>As an alternative to the TwitThis button, Jemmille has created a modified version of my <a href="http://andybeard.eu/wordpress-plugin-hacks/">hacked Sociable plugin Antisocial</a> that includes a &#8220;TwitThis&#8221; button, and a fix to StumbleUpon.<br />
I will probably update my distribution with <a href="http://jemmille.com/2007/04/01/antisocialsociable-plugin-for-wordpress/">Jemmille&#8217;s code</a> in a few days, but you can get it directly for now.</p>
<p><b>Update: This wasn&#8217;t a total fix because the Javascript was still being loaded from Amazon S3 and was causing horrendous page load times. TwitThis has been removed until I can hack a version that doesn&#8217;t use javascript.</b></p>
