 * We just added SSL to our blog and the plugin is now showing 0 shares for all 
   pages and posts. Please fix it so it checks protocols when showing shares.

 * Hi niteoweb,
 * I’m very sorry to hear of your share count losses.
 * I experienced the same when switching simplesharebuttons.com to https, I promptly
   raised a ticket with them and they claimed it was a ‘different URL, and therefore
   a correct share count’.
 * I coded the plugin to display a total of http + https but the http counts ended
   up dropping off entirely a few days later. In total simplesharebuttons.com lost
   ~3.5k shares 🙁
 * Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to retain your previously earned
   share counts, apologies.
 * David
