Default FB "Like" button constantly reloading

This is getting ridiculaous to be honest. This is the only website I have constant issues with loading the FB like button. I go to other VBulletin driven sites like Honda-Tech and have no problems.

It used to be the page seemed loaded, then would go back to work and take 10-15 seconds before I could scroll or move or do anything waiting for the "Like" button to appear.

Now, it's constantly reloading the button, the physical placement of the button moves up and down (1/8 inch or so) as this happens.

IE7 is the browser. (Work computer)

I'm not experiencing the problem, but will alert the tech team to see if they know what might be going on.

J. T. has not been able to replicate the issue. Can you post details about your operating systems and browsers with versions. Maybe that will help.

I'm running Vista 6.0, IE 7 on my laptop and I can't get it to duplicate the problem you are experiencing. My desktop is pretty old and runs Windows 5.1 OS and IE 8. No problems there either.

While the tech folks look into the situation, try deleting your cookies and clearning your cache just to see if that impacts the situation.

It's only on the screen when you open a thread- if you try to post in a 'quick reply' at the bottom of the thread it does not allow you to type. If you quote, like I did here, where the 'f-like' button is not present, it's not an issue. It is flashing 'Done' at the bottom left corner of the IE screen and then flashes the following (micro second- I had to watch it forever to get this).

Also, deleted cookies and cleared temp files. Problem still here.

Been doing this all weekend (windows-ie trying to constantly reload the dumb [f-like] button) and it's more than annoying now. Will check back in a few days and see if it's stopped! Only way to post now is to hit the red X button up top to stop the page loading activity, and then type.

Ok, I got a screeen capture of it. Notice the page is reloading (progress bar on the bottom) and the FB icon has moved. This is while we're sitting here- I'm not clicking anything.

Not having the problem on my old Dell laptop w/ Windows XP on wireless internet (not same as home), running IE 8.

I have McAfee on the home computer. At bottom right where it says 'internet', the home computer shows 'internet protection on', whereas the laptop does not have McAfee or show the 'internet protection'.

Possible issue? Anyone else with the problem running McAfee (latest edition)?

I have the same issue, though I have no problems doing a quick reply.

Edit: I also experience the same issue on HDForums.com

I have the same issue - Windows XP/IE 7
Because Flash is constantly running, the McAfee virus scan is constantly running and My CPU is pegged at 100%!!!
Edit - I just noticed the facebook Like button is moving 5 - 10 pixels down and then back up!
Edit 2 - Code fragment fb_xd_fragment is constantly reloading. I event tried turning off the flash add on

It was not like this in March, I recently returned and it started for me yesterday.

My Windows 7 64bit/ IE8 home computer does NOT have this issue.
Please fix!
