When posting links from my site to my Facebook status they do not show photo or populate the link they just sit in the status box. Every other site I try has worked fine. So I don't believe it is a Facebook issue.
IF i just put in http://www.desiredreflections.com it works just fine.. SO it seems that something changed because I could previously post. :?

Re: Facebook posts
I have just filed a bug report with Facebook about this issue, it appears to be on their end. I will let you know when they get back to me.

Re: Facebook posts
So you are saying Facebook has an issue with my only my page working? Because I have no problem with other links, only my page.
Re: Facebook posts
It is not on all sites, but we looked at facebooks recent bugs and found a lot of different people complaining about it recently.
To see the exact error Facebook is having with your site please reference this link: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/d ... f--a-1.asp
The exact error is: Error Linting URL: An internal error occurred while linting the URL.
We have done our research and the only resolved cases of this problem look similar to this: http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/quest ... this-error
All we can do at this point is submit a bug to Facebook, which we have done for you, and wait for them to reply.

Re: Facebook posts
It just seems odd :?: that I have no trouble with ANY OTHER links I post on Facebook except any from my page. I even tried a tiny url for my homepage and it doesn't work. Why would only my page do it and others do not. So the only way I can use a link is to make a tiny url and add a photo. Then the link will open and have a photo to represent the page. Such a hassle. :x
Re: Facebook posts
Debbie,
I, too, have looked for an answer on this. I see TONS of people (not APWT) complaining about this error and Facebook hasn't provided anyone with an answer. I've found workarounds for those complaining about YouTube, but not for general links. No one seems to know why and it seems to have happened the same time it happened to yours (and this is not the first time this has happened with FB from the dates on the posts). It appears that they somehow just started working again mysteriously. I'm guessing that's what's going to happen this time too.
I know Paige is trying to get Facebook to look into it. But again, they don't appear to addressing this with anyone on the internet. It's not an APWT issue. It's an internal Facebook error. I did see one post that the guy thought it had to do with FB not liking one of his posts and from that point forward it seemed to give this error with all his posts like it wasn't clearing the error out at their end. But he couldn't get them to respond to him.
I just wanted to let you know you aren't being ignored.

Re: Facebook posts
This problem has been addressed, I tested out your site and it appeared how it supposed to on my Facebook. However it may take up to 48 hours to reach your Facebook account.

Re: Facebook posts
Facebook analyzes the pictures on your site and chooses a selection that they think goes best and matched their criteria.
