It happens to me often that the SHARE THIS STORY button doesn’t work. If I do a force refresh, then it works for the first story I read but then at some point it breaks again.
Now I’m doing a small test and when I do a full refresh, I can click on the button for the first story I’m in. If I select another story (from the split list), then I can’t share that story. If I click back in the original story that workded before, now it doesn’t work anymore.
What happens when it doesn’t work is I don’t get the textarea displayed when I click the button, is like clicking it doesn’t have any effect.
I’m using Firefox 25.0.1 from Ubuntu. My newsblur options are UNREAD, FEED view, split layout, ALL-NEWEST. Please let me know if you need any other information.
I’m still having this issue, specially in the “The People have Spoken” shared feed. Right now I want to share a story and there is no way I can make it work. Is quite annoying!
Hi, this is getting worse. For several days I couldn’t use the share button, and it’s still not working. Even doing force refresh or restarting the browser doesn’t help, I just can’t share anymore. Any tips for workarounds or ideas of what could it be?
I made another finding about this, which at least provides me with a workaround to be able to share again. If I click first on the Save button, and then on the Share button, then it is expanded as expected and I can actually share. Then I can click again the “Unsave” button to forget the story.
Also, Samuel, it would be extremely nice if you could give me some feedback, even a WORKSFORME is appreciated.
Do you have Adblock installed? I’ve heard from a huge number of users that this is a problem. Otherwise, it works great for me, and there’s a shared stories counter on the dashboard that’s in the few thousands, which means it’s working for other folks, too.
I have this issue on latest Firefox and Chrome on Linux. No Adblock or other extensions installed. Clicking on “Share…” button merely marks the story as read, the sharing comment box never appears. Clicking on “Save…” button opens both the “Save” tags box and the share comment box.
I did just change something related to the Share button. What’s your setup? Reading by feed or folder? List, split, or full? Feed or Text view? Single story or all stories?
Oh, I just realized my other reply wasn’t posted! Maybe I forgot to press the Reply button in my browser at home, I’ll check it out when I’m back there
But basically I tried disabling Adblock and I still have the problem.
OK, I don’t know what happened with my other post. What I said is I used adblock, but I disabled it and tried again in my FF and I still have the problem. I tried disabling other extensions that looked like they could interfere with something, but the problem was still there. I also tried with chromium, which I barely use and only has adblock, which I disabled and even using incognito mode to avoid any cookies, I still have this problem. Now always, 100% of the times. The only way to share is using the workaround to click first on save, then share, then unsave.
I just fixed this yesterday, and I’m struggling to reproduce the bug. Can you just confirm you’re both running latest? Can you also post a full browser screenshot?
