 * When I try to activate the sharing module, I receive a message saying the it 
   was enabled successfully. However, it remains un-highlighted in the module list
   and shows two links: one for Configure and one for Activate. Clicking on Configure
   brings up a blank page, and when returning to the module list, only Activate 
   appears again. Sharing was working before the latest big update to Jetpack (3.0
   I believe).

 * Sorry, I meant to update this earlier. It turns out the theme we are using (Sterling)
   had code buried inside that disables a few of the modules, one of them being 
   sharing (apparently it causes UI glitches for a feature we’re not using). I’m
   not sure why it only started disabling it when I updated Jetpack, but once I 
   commented that code out, sharing works fine.
