Links to Ning from Facebook blocked?

[Hugh]

Is there a problem with Ning and Facebook? A member alerted me that links to my network from my Facebook page were being blocked with the following message:

Sorry

The link you are trying to visit has been reported as abusive by Facebook users. To learn more about staying safe on the Internet, visit Facebook's Security Page. Please also read the Wikipedia articles on malware and phishing.

I checked another Ning network I know that runs a Facebook page and they seem to have the same issue.

That's part of the Skysa site bar at the bottom, Sandra.

Don't know if this helps, but I just checked a few of the domains listed in this thread on http://blacklistalert.org/

Most of us, including Ning and the IP mentioned already, are listed on an email server blacklist (?) - thinking back to the problems we had of all those emails getting repeatedly sent out??

creators.ning.com's MX --> amx.ning.com with IP 208.82.16.68

ip.v4bl.org Listed! See why 

creators.ning.com

bookofdays.ning.com

members.card-making-world.com

creative-connections.ning.com

voile-rc.com's MX --> *using a different IP to rest of us but omitted here*
aspews.ext.sorbs.net Listed! See why 

BUT,

harringayonline.com/ - fine

bowesandbounds.org/ - fine

What in the world does this even mean???  on  http://blacklistalert.org/           I have a huge list on there but it all says OK in green after each listing?? Sorry but I am just a technodummy!LOL!

[webwahm]

I have no idea what it all means, but as long as it shows a green OK I'm not bothered :-)

Just curious about why many of us are listed for the same thing, whatever that may be.

[Suzie Nielsen]

Thanks!LOL!

McAfee out of blue blocked me yesterday from going to my network since it looks like it's connected to the 208.82.16.68 IP. This FB problem might have something to do with that IP being blacklisted too. P.S. the domain we are using is outside Ning, not checked is FB blocking our links but will do now!

Exactly the same here!

I ticketed this (Ticket n°00723659), no answer yet.

Hmm. I wonder if that's what's happening with my network. Last night I suddenly couldn't access it nor any other Ning network for that matter. I posted this discussion, thinking it had nothing to do with this one, but maybe it does?

[Franco Mercalli]

Same problem here.

I solved it by resetting my Firewall sw: http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/links-to-ning-from-facebook-b...

(but you have to keep on resetting every time the issue arises...)

With Safari (for PC) it is even worse: I cannot even navigate to my network through the address bar.
