 * When sharedaddy is activated the backgrund colour in Internet Explorer 8 (normal
   mode) doesnt show. It just shows white not the colour that it should be. When
   in compatibility mode the backgorund colour shows fine. Any ideas whats causing
   this problem with sharedaddy and IE8?

 * Hi aquastar.
    I faced the same issue today. Noticed that my page had a duplicate
   call to jquery, whitch call was made by Sharedaddy…
 * `<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.agence-cap-ferret.fr/prod/wp-
   includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.6.1'></script>`
 * After desactivating Sharedaddy, everything gets OK again.
    Now, looking for a
   way to make Sharedaddy use the existing call to Jquery without calling it again.

 * Hi fxbodin, Im glad that someone else is getting this error, Im sure many others
   are too but they haven’t noticed it in IE. I searched the Internet high and low
   for 1 month now trying to find a solution. I like the sharedaddy plugin as its
   very clean but just had to delete it in the end as I couldn’t solve this. So 
   are you saying just deactivate and reactive and the backgorund colour should 
   display fine in IE?

 * Unfortunately, no: desactivate Sharedaddy to restore the bg on IE8. But you lose
   the sharing services. I’m looking arround for a way to keep Sharedaddy on. Trying
   the checkbox at the bottom on the plugin settings page solves the pb, but you
   miss the ajax effects as well as the design. Is there a way to move the .js and.
   css in a right folder manually and get the complete Sharedaddy behavior without
   the side effect?
