I honestly have no idea how their algorithms work or what they are looking for. Unfortunately though, we're at the limits of what we can help with regarding this issue.

You can always test other social network buttons to see if they work as expected and use that in a bug report to Facebook. You could include the URL in a bug report by removing the http: or putting spaces between your domain and the URL so that someone there could investigate further. My guess is that it's just an over-agressive filter and not someone that's actually read the article.

NO Alex, JFBConnect is working perfectly. There is nothing wrong with JFBConnect. JFBConnect is a wonderful Social Media component.

I encountered the problem on Facebook itself. It is as you say, Facebook's algorithms. I assumed it was their filters, but I have written my own filters before, and I can get pretty sophisticated in how I look at a text field and can make a lot of decisions based on specific word patterns. I didn't think that anyone was actually reading any of our documents, But they have to have a policy in place to direct their programmers in how Facebook wants input filtered.

Maybe it is just a bug as you say and isn't intentional on Facebook's part. Maybe I assume their programmers are more sophisticated than they actually are.

It just seems odd to me that in one instance Facebook's parser lets hard core porn pass and in another instance it blocks a scholarly discussion. I think Facebook needs to think about how they parse input.

But thank you again for an awesome Social Media component. Your Easy Tags work like clockwork, I am very happy with the way JFBConnect works.

I knew you understood, but had to state it anyways.

I do hope it goes well for you,
