Permalink and Facebook issue

Post by mr_daikon »

Every once in a while I have an entry that I would like to share with a certain larger group, so I have tried linking to those entries in facebook updates. Unfortunately, the past few times I have tried, regardless of the correct permalink URL being used it loads the main blog page. If you put the cursor in the URL bar and hit enter to reload the page (as opposed to refreshing), facebook's favicon goes away and the page loads properly.

It worked properly the first time I tried it, but I am not doing a single thing different from that first time and it still doesn't work. Any thoughts? Thanks very much!

It's not very likely that this is an error of s9y. Did you try to use an url-shortener to hide the url? Maybe Facebook is manipulating the link.

Yeah, I figured it wasn't necessarily a s9y problem; just wondered how to work around it. Using a url-shortener looks like it may be my solution. Thanks!
