Blood for the Baron!

Tinkering about and have managed to shorten the Crafty Tafty coding down to http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wincheste ... 6609603202, the rest was my search engine parameters.

I tried searching facebook for CaptainComsosCollectibles and had 0 hits. Is it possible you have privacy set to US only or something?

The privacy settings are an interesting thought. I've actually NEVER set them. I just went to the page for the very first time, and they were set to "custom," but none of the settings that I see would explain this problem. And none seem to limit which country can access the page.

At anyrate, I reset the settings to "Everyone" maybe that will do it?

i get the crafty tafty one, but the other three take me to my FB home page...

I want to use that smily that's beating it's head against the wall, but that one isn't an option on BFTB.

Either of those work?

Nope, sorry. Might be worth dropping an e-mail to facebook support before going too mad.

This is getting even weirder. I had some American friends try the links one BFTB. They went right where they were supposed to go. So why would the Crafty Tafty link work regardless, while the Captain Cosmos link will only work on one side of the Atlantic.

Shouldn't both links either work or not work? How can they follow 2 sets of rules?

Roger

No clue if this will change anything, but now the link is from Internet Explorer instead of AOL. I've had other problems with AOL, maybe this is just the newest one?

Roger

that's a negative.

I was wondering if it was my own facebook settings, but as you point out, why would CRafty Tafty still work if that were the case?

To be honest, I think you'd be better off creating a separate site than working through facebook, seems to be more hassle than it's worth. I'd still let their tech support know - they may not be aware of the glitch. I'm happy for you to cite this thread rather than reiterate the whole thing.

The problem with Facebook is they still have problems with it they don't sort out like the IM and games constantly crashing and going out of synch.
