It seems like in that post the fanfiction.net badge image takes over 90 seconds of trying before it finally fails to load and during that time the buttons don't work. They start working after the badge image has finally finished trying and has failed to load.

Once the little bit over 90 seconds has passed and the icon has failed to load, then the buttons work again. But during that 90 seconds the buttons don't work.
Since I'm completely out of the loop about how things work nowadays, I googled a bit and found out that the p.dreamwidth.org is a image proxy that serves http images as https. So I'm *guessing* the javascript for the buttons is waiting for the page to finish loading, and this image proxy is taking way too long to fail?
