Twitter Share buttons Stopped Working - twitter

I have 2 sites where the Twitter Share buttons stopped working.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Here are links to my sites:

Problem seems isolated to IE8, not sure about Chrome...seems okay in FF14
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

We're having issues at the moment that the new or old twitter version of the "Twitter Share Button" with any version of IE is causing some of the JavaScript on our sites to not execute. (Specifically header related)
After tinkering for an hour or so, I've shelved it. Just used IE browser detection to stop it from putting the Twitter button on IE browsers.
Sorry I can't be of more help - but I get the feeling that this is at Twitters end.

.liquid shopify theme causing iOS mobile flickering and page reset

My clients theme is 100% custom created before it was handed to me. The theme when loaded on an iOS device is flickering when scrolling and then the page resets. This is happening all through out the website, but again is only happening on iOS devices.
I am wondering if someone could help direct me to where i can begin to search and i do apologize with how vague this is, but i am really just looking for advice on where i can begin to look in the .liquid code to try to fix this. Or is this a JavaScript issue?
Thank you for whatever help you can send my way.
SOLVED:
The issue was with google tag manager script. The previous developer embeded the script snippet incorrectly which had an impact only on the iOS mobile for the site. Very weird and very unusual.
Advice:
Be sure to check any 3rd party snippets and embeds that are on a site to make sure they aren't impacting in a negative way.

URL Schemes and Facebook App 5.0

There's a question already related to groups, but it seems it's much more than that. Have URL schemes been completely thrown out of the new app (aside from the generic fb://), or is there a new list of supported schemes?
In particular, we can't get to a place details page. I've also tried /pages, /page, /places, /place...
Thanks,
Ivan
I'm not sure about those urls... but I just posted what I believe is a solution for facebook business pages.. it may help? Here it is below:
OK .. seriously this took me about 90 minutes of research to figure out. It works currently under facebook ios 5.0.1 for iPhone.. haven't tried it in iPad yet.
The url is fb://profile/132753734806
NOW the important part is that number. That links to one of my clients, Charles Scott. HOWEVER, that's not their FBID or Page ID.. their Page ID is 10150348920319807
so you would think it should be fb://profile/10150348920319807 but that gives me an error.
Here's how you get the correct code.. click on any of your page's photos.. here's an example for my client https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150348920319807&set=a.10150348920314807.356942.132753734806&type=1&theater
if you notice the FBID that does not work follows fbid= in that URL.. the number you WANT is just before the &type=1theater but following that last period. 132753734806 is the correct code to punch in after fb://profile/
I hope that makes some sense... I know zero about code or coding but this was bothering me so much and I knew there was a way.
Now, the two questions I would love to have answered/working.. 1. if this could work on android phones 2. create a working qr code for this url so people can scan with ios devices and have it open automatically
Good luck and I hope this helps everyone!
I tried Alessandro's way but did not succeed - the number he mentioned is new every time.
I tried fb://profile?id={pageId} and it worked in my case. {pageId} is simple page id number without any tricks. Facebook app version is 5.0.1

Changes to twitter API

Just looking for some clarity on the new Twitter API changes coming in if anyone could help out please-
Do the API changes affect how I go about placing for e.g. the top 5 tweets from my timeline onto my site. I've used some quick javascript techniques before to do this but does the new authentication mean I have to go through PHP Oauth or similar in order to do the same thing? Would it break previous setups I have done before?
I've used this code before:
http://pastebin.com/hFZhfavk
And then just your username in here:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/USERNAME.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=2"></script>
Had a look through some of the documentation on the changes but not sure if its just for application stuff or if it affects the likes of what I'm doing aswell.
All help much appreciated! And if anyone could point me in the direction of some good tutorials/info if the set up is different that'd be great too.
Thanks for your time

I've since set up Twitter Oauth in PHP using #abraham's setup. Everytime I load the test page I get asked to sign into Twitter - is that the way twitter feeds are gonna have to be on sites now with the new rules? Still a little confused if anyone has any insight it'd be much appreciated!
I know this is an old question, but the answer is yes - all Twitter API 1.1 calls have to be authenticated. API 1.0 has been switched off permanently. |

ASP.NET MVC Media With Fallback

I am integrating videos into a website we have which I have never done before, I have been searching all afternoon as I am looking for a robust solution in which first HTML5 is tried and if not supported then falls back to flash or silverlight and if neither are supported just displays a link to download the video or something along those lines. Does anyone know of a good example of how to do this?
This seems perfect:
