    I'm using the Simple Social plug in on the Balance theme at the top of my right sidebar. It works great on Chrome. Unfortunately only the background of the icons shows up in Firefox or Internet Explorer. Does anyone have advice? Is there another plug in I can use?

    Hi Laura
    I'm using SSI and my text is fine in IE
    See here http://www.wmwebdesign.co.uk/blog/

    Have you changed any CSS recently?

    Also - did you set the font colour in the SSI widget interface?

    I haven't changed CSS since I installed the plug-in. Strangely enough, when I refreshed on IE, it started working. It still doesn't work in Firefox.

    I have the same problem in Firefox, as well. Somebody in Google+ gave me a code snippet to fix it but it has disappeared from my feed. Ugh!

    The problem is that rather than the icon showing in the little square you get a set of letters/numbers in the box instead.
