js script cannot find file and addthis box disappeared

We've been using AddThis for awhile and just this morning I received an error while publishing a new page: file not found file://s7.addthis.com/static/r07/sh078.html. I think this is called by src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=bikerhotline">. All the AddThis buttons on our existing pages have disappeared (these pages number in the 1000s) so updating the code of each one would be a nightmare. Is there an easy fix for this?

Could you post the URL of the page where you're having issues?

Hi Paul! It's the most bizarre thing...error shows up when publishing, but the page uploads just fine and the buttons show up online. As far as past pages, they are fine, too...buttons intact. Maybe these solar flares are messin' with us. Thank you so much for the prompt answer!

am constantly getting the same that others have gotten, viz:
"Cannot find file://s7.addthis.com/static/r07/sh078.html"
and will not let me even open the web page in the editing editor!

Searching the HTML shows NO addthis.com item and I do not have a share type function at all! Also searched the whole work directory and all other HTML with same result.

This is becoming serious.

We changed our code to use protocol-free URLs - that start with // instead of http:// - in order to make SSL implementations easier. Since your preview is using the file:// protocol the browser assumes that any URL starting with // will be at file://, but it's obviously not. You should switch to using a local web server for your preview if possible.
