That is just down right bizarre. Wonder why it only does it here on BFTB? Doesn't do anything odd for me. And it's not my actual home page, so if it were consistent it should take me to my home page as well.
Curiouser and curiouser . . .

Several times. Even cleared out my history so there were no cookies. No change, this link:
http://www.facebook.com/CaptainComsosCollectibles
takes me right to my Captain Cosmos Collectibles Facebook page.
Even the original link in the first post takes me there.
BUT, I am finding that the abbreviated link in my signature doesn't read correctly. Is there a way to include the entire link in my signature? The site just automatically shortens it to fit, but the first version worked just fine for me. This second version does not.

Use the [url] tags to display the complete address. When you test the link, which browser do you use please?
Also, you have a double http:// in your sig and Comsos in place of Cosmos in the first!

it's comsos in all the last three posts.
and you've spelt it 'cosms' in the first line of your sig.

Corrected?
You know, I'm normally extremely careful about spelling. ESPECIALLY my own business name. I don't know how I got so many typo's in to so small of a space? I must have done too much typing that day.
I caught the "cosms" a day or 2 ago. Weird thing is that I used "cut 'n paste" to post most of the stuff on several sites that day. And so far, BFTB seem's to be the only one with typo's. Well, aside from the one in the URL itself

So what the heck did I do?
Sadly, despite being very careful, I completely missed the typo in the URL until today. It's a one time deal to, it can't be changed without out scrapping the whole page and starting over.

Nope, I'm afraid I'm still being redirected to
http://www.facebook.com/home.php.
I did a Facebook search and this is the URL I got:
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/page ... ajaxpipe=1

OK, just to add to the mix... I did a google search for Captain Cosmos. Your Facebook entry was seventh down the list, but when I clicked on it - I got redirected to my own Facebook account.
So it's not a typo or anything at your end, it must be a Facebook automatic redirect.

Best solution I can come up with is this:
[
*url=
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/page ... ajaxpipe=1]Captain Cosmos Collectibles[
*/url]
Which, without the two
*, displays like this:
Captain Cosmos Collectibles
Link tested and working.
