I've had a relative ask for a link to two of my scripts.  I cut-and-paste the URL's into a discussion thread, but always end up with an error message when I click on the link.  

And ideas?  Or suggestions?  Or bacon?  Bacon would be good.


Phil

What's the error message?

Is it this one:


I received an error message saying that a link I want to post has been reported as abusive.




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 users. You should be able to edit your account if you do not include the offending text or URLs.

If you believe there is no abusive content on the specific website you are trying to post, unfortunately, the web domain that hosts the website has already been identified as abusive. 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.
For more information about prohibited content, please visit the Warnings section of the Help Center.

Quoted from Eoin ....an error message saying that a link I want to post has been reported as abusive.

For one of Phil's scripts?  Yeah, that is probably the right message.

That's something Don will have to get taken care of.  The domain is considered abusive by Facebook.  Strange.  Someone probably over posted links to their scripts.  

Email Don, Phil.

I posted one of mine on face book with no problems. I made sure I opened the script and then copied the link.

It should include the PDF portion in the link other wise it wont allow the connection to the site.

Update-- Just checked it and it does still work.

This is as good as time as any to say, "Suck it, Bert.  Suck HELL!"

This is the message I get.


Phil

You know, your link has a %2F at the end.  Can you delete that?

Bert has the correct answer.

I don't know where that came from, but it was added on more than one occasion.  Thank you Bert... you can still suck it, though.


Phil

Phil,

I had that happen ....so I went to google and typed in the name of one of my shorts by 'my name' and it pulled it up from here....then I copy and pasted that link and it worked for my folks.

Phil, et. al.,

Remove the final "/" form the url, e.g.,

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-comedy/m-1128393612/

should be:

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-comedy/m-1128393612

and it will work in facebook.
