Twitter button does what it is supposed to do ...

Facebook button greys out and adds one number to that count box but does NOT publish the node to my Facebook account

GooglePlus button turns into a red folder icon with white "!"-sign in it after a few seconds and does NOT publish the node to my Google+1

what could be wrong?

Actually I'm not sure what's happening, since it works for me... Are you using any other social modules that could conflict with that?

Google Button turns into a "Google Error" button ... (red folder with exclamation mark in it)

did read somewhere that this could happen if thid-party-cookies are blocked by browser. so i turned off cookie blocking but problem remains.

testaed "share-this" module. same happens there, googlebutton turns into google error button, but Facebook button works ...

I have not been able to reproduce this at all and it seems like a momentary glitch with the aforementioned services (facebook, etc)

Since we use the publicly-available widgets and just customize parameters there is really nothing more that we can do here...

I am also getting warning messages in IE7 + IE8 about LinkedIn and Google+ buttons. Facebook and Twitter work fine.

Sure :-)

I just realized that this is a D7 thread, but I am also experiencing it with Easy Social 6.x-1.4. But the problem is shared by both versions, I just tested it in D7.

This is shown in a yellow bar at the top of the page in IE8 (with standard security settings) where all four Easy Social links are enabled: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors".

All icons are shown, except for the +1 Google button, so there's no problem with LinkedIn after all, only Google +1. If I double-click on the eye icon with the red stop sign on at the bottom, I get a window listing two cookies which were blocked:

http://www.linkedin.com/courtserv/count/share?url=...
http://www.linkedin.com/analytics/type?widgetJSTRacking&trk=cws-fwk....

The LinkedIn button is displayed anyway and seems to work.

In D6, if I click on the yellow bar at the top and select "show blocked content" once, this line appears in the report over blocked cookies:
https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js?_13130770...

If I click on "show blocked content" again the +1 Google icon appears, also on subsequent pages.

In D7 I only have to click the yellow bar at the top and select "show blocked content" once to have the +1 button appear.

For both of them, a lot of cookies appear in the "blocked cookies" list from plusone.google.com, apis.google.com, etc. But as I said the +1 button does show up.

However, if I click on it I get a screen saying that the security certificate of this web site (plusone.google.com) has expired... Perhaps Google just need to renew their certificate and all is hunky dory? :-)
