Facebook won't let me post a link to my forum, anyone have any ideas why? Is this a general problem?

Thanks for the information, I'll make sure the other staff are aware so we can look into this.

WhiteLion, can you post a board link?

Was able to post a url in the Facebook Group feed but still cannot post a url in the facebook group description box. I asked a couple of the other Facebook group admins to post and they were not able to post the url either.

We have the same problem with our board (http://z13.invisionfree.com/ATP_Fantasy_Baseball/index.php?act=idx) - I've let them know that it shouldn't be reported as an error - and looked up the error meesage on Facebook and found this:

"You're seeing this error message because the content that you've attempted to post on the site has already been reported as abusive by other Facebook members. You should be able to post and update your account if you do not include the abusive URL.

The specific website you are trying to post may not contain abusive content; however, we have already identified the web domain that hosts the website as hosting abusive content. Facebook does not have control over content that is hosted by particular web domains. To request the removal of abusive web pages that may be hosted by this domain, you will have to contact the specific domain provider."

The first part "the content that you've attempted to post on the site has already been reported as abusive by other Facebook members" is impossible as I tried to send the link on the day we set up the board

We're attempting to work with Facebook to identify what issue they feel has been a problem. Hopefully we'll be able to get this resolved for you soon.

I can link to my board, but only if I use the domain name (visionary-tales.com). If I use the IF link, it won't let me.

I used Bitly.com to shorten the url and Facebook accepted it in the group description box.

Hi, I'm having the same problem as those above, only now FB won't even accept bitly urls.

Has there been any progress in the 11 months since anything was posted here?
