Maybe they can use this money to hire someone who can fix their !$!@# pinit button [the small gray button with numbers on the right] to actually stay where I put it (and not move to the right 20px and bleed over other content). Really, it's the only social button I put on each of my wife's blog posts [echoing what others have mentioned, she likes pinterest for the 'bridal trends', recipe ideas, art, ...], and it's ea…

May I please know the address of your wife's blog? Happy to look into this.

I've just pushed a test fix; if you will please add data-pin-pad-count="true" to a Pin It button that has data-pin-config="beside" you should see whitespace under your pin count.

I'm not pushing this out to everyone until I understand how badly it will break other sites that have already implemented fixes like yours.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, but doesn't change a thing for me. It's still breaking out of a containing div to the right.

And I forgot to mention that the vertical alignment was/is also a PITA. Got the image where I want it, and other text elements bottom-aligned to it? Great, now once the JS munges things it's all changed - the image gets higher.
