Like-Gravatars flow over Like-Button
-
Since a few hours the gravatars of those people who liked a posting, are loaded delayed in background.
Now the first (= the left one) of the gravatar flows over the “Like” button.
Seems, this does not happen in English blogs, but in German blogs, propably because the English “Like” button has a shorter length than the German “Gefällt mir” button.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I see exactly what you mean and I’m using Firefox 18.0.2. I tagged this thread for Staff help. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond.

I’ve added a sanity check so that the gravatar box doesn’t overlay the Like button.
Thanks for the bug report!

Wondering, why bug is not reported by more users: of course the issue occurs in other languages too (tested with an italien blog).
There’s is another problem with this:
While delayed loading of the gravatar box the Like-button cannot be pressed. But if you have a “suboptimal” internet connection – UMTS is so slow here since there are millions of smartphones – then the delayed loading often runs into timeout and you _never_ can Like/Unlike. -
I suspect this has something to do with the fact that Staff are working on the gravatars under the like buttons. They are creating a means of having the gravatars nest and made accessible through a flyout button. Perhaps simply waiting until their work is done is what’s best in this case.

I’m not seeing the problem myself, are you still seeing it?

I can see it.
for instance at http://starthilfe.wordpress.com/2013/02/19/like-test/
(it’s the test blog of one of the support guys from WP.com German)1) with Firefox 18.0.2 and Firefox 19.0: first gravatars overlay the “Like”-Button
2) with MS Internet Explorer 8: same behaviour
3) Opera 12.14: show an empty white box with scrollbars– emptied cache
– all cookies allowed
– Firefox in safemode without any add-ons
-> uselessNote: the problem occurs only at non-English blogs, where the “Like” button is localized.
For any further questions please contact “zodiak1978” (see some posts above in this forum-thread) a.k.a. Torsten from the German WP.com support. I know, that he sees the problem too. Hope you have a possibility for mail contact, I don’t.
Unfortunately I have no more time to act as a software tester this week. Sorry.

Thanks for sharing further details so we can look into this. The localized Like button appears to be the key. We’re looking into this.
-
Sorry?????
You’re kidding with me?
I already stated this fact in the thread opening posting at Feb-18.Of course the localization is the key, or more specific: the size of the button – which is not fixed but differing because of the localization.
-
Sorry, I wasn’t working in this thread at the time, so I missed that detail.
As said, we’re looking into this.
