Facebook seems to want to split some of the link off for some reason when I post a link in a Note. So, until you click the link to View Full Note and then the Facebook system won’t make it a clickable link either. Not Good! So, if you Copy the URL to paste it into your browser, you’ve got to make sure that you get the rest of the URL off the second line with it.
So, I’ve got 2 issues or questions:
1. How can I put a clickable link in a Facebook Note?
2. How can I keep it from splitting a URL which makes it too tricky to Copy/Paste?
Here is an example. Sorry if it seems like I’m a racist or a cuss maniac. I’m not …. I swear.
When I put this URL www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlzoL-wQwio into a Note on my Facebook, it puts this in the Note:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul
zoL-wQwio
And then it will stick it all together after I click a link in the lower left which says View Full Note, but it still isn’t a clickable link. Grrrr!
Am I doing something wrong or is the Facebook system just messed up? I wanted to ask this on the Facebook site at Account > Help Center, but I can’t figure out how to post a question there. It seems to just want to Search for the issue based on what you type in. How frustrating. But somehow I did just see a page at http://www.facebook.com/help/?ref=drop with 2 links at the bottom that say Report a Bug – Give Feedback. Maybe I should do one of those? I’ve tried that before and never heard anything back, so Facebook apparently doesn’t give any personal service. Maybe they just want input and they work on it behind the scenes.
I’ve got another silly Facebook issue which I’ll call #3 that I haven’t been able to solve. Often, when I am entering text in a Comment box, the text that enters is a few characters longer than the box so some silly scroll bar appears at the bottom of the box. This doesn’t always happen. This issue isn’t as maddening or important as those first 2 but it does drive my a bit wacky!
By the way, I do all of my Facebooking on my Windows XP PC which is very up-to-date and I never do it on a Facebook App on a cell phone or iPod.
