I apologize, your correct, i was not aware of the option to hide the icons, you are also correct that there is a bug in this feature.
basically, it is an issue with using the css :hover pseudo class and iframes. Both Google and Stumble Upon use iframes for their buttons which don't behave correctly with the hover.
I have logged this as a bug and we will probably correct it by using a javascript onclick method for showing and hidding the buttons. you can add this to your page by editing the wasocial.css file and commenting the hover method:
/*.wasocial:hover .share {
display:block;
}*/
add the following script code just before the </head tag:
<script type="text/javascript">
function toggleSocial() {
var socialElem = document.getElementById('share');
if(socialElem.style.display == 'block') {
socialElem.style.display = 'none';
} else {
socialElem.style.display = 'block';
}
}
</script>
edit the share div tag:
<div class="share">
to include an ID:
<div class="share" id="share">
and edit the link:
<a href="#"><img src="../webassist/social/icons/greyEarth.png" align="absmiddle" class="share_icon" /> share</a>
to call the toggleSocial function on click:
<a href="#" onClick="toggleSocial();"><img src="../webassist/social/icons/greyEarth.png" align="absmiddle" class="share_icon" /> share</a>
NOTE:
Google + only support IE 8 and above, they do not support the Google + buttons in older versions of IE
