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.

Facebook has suddenly started presenting links correctly for me...

Same here! Let's hope it stays that way. It was working for me for one day last week then went back to being blocked. Hopefully this is a permanent solution.

YES! It is working well now 

THANKS for your support and quick response

Thanks, everyone, for this quick reports. Sounds like we might be back in business. 

No phishing/malware alert. 

However, the link does not create a preview of any kind in a message, it just posts the URL. Prior to this situation, a preview of the page being linked was provided. 

Thanks for staying on top of this, Eric!

Actually, Facebook has been notorious for not providing thumbnails for content every now and then. You may not have been affected before, but I know plenty (including myself) who have. I once went almost two months without thumbnails last year.

That truly stinks.  Whenever I've had that experience, a simple refresh works and preview is restored. Oh, well... 

At least we're all safe from malware and phishing warnings. 

Great work NING/Eric on getting this resolved. 

NEXT!

(I started a thread about member stores, in the event any of you groovy people have something to say on the topic...)

I think it was a NING issue and not a FACEBOOK issue

Why would you think that, Ambroise?

It was most definitely a Facebook issue, though Ning networks were almost certainly the exclusive targets of whatever was going on.

I agree. The phishing/malware alert is resolved but we do have a preview issue

I'm waiting for full solution before I change my setting on http://mynetwork.ning.com/main/sharelinks/edit

For your information, with this setting, I have no preview issue
my setting: http://www.diigo.com/item/image/14dpl/0mha
no issue: http://www.diigo.com/item/image/14dpl/8j12

This bug is fixed also :-)
