Pasted URL's on Facebook not hitting the target
1

Hi Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but I hope someone can help. I run a record selling site, very much like eBay i.e Auction and Set Sale. The site is basically one big GCI script with a header and footer with everything in-between pretty much generated on the fly. When I cut and paste a URL into Facebook for some reason Facebook re-arranges the link details and that link is incompatible with my site i.e, it throws up an error. For example if I post a URL as below https://www.mysite/cgi-bin/mysite.cgi?modern__45s&1727120672 on Facebook i.e category first then item number when a user clicks on the link it is returned as https://www.mysite/cgi-bin/mysite.cgi?1727120672&modern__45s i.e Item number first and then category which is incompatible with the site and hence throws the error. I have included the Facebook domain verification into my header which has been verified but I am still gettin this error. Could someone help me sort out what is going wrong or even point me in the right direction to sort it out. Thank you Dazz
