FACEBOOK CHANGES LINKS – IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ!!
A big change has come to Facebook: no longer being able to post jobs, mystery bags or any type of links related to Mafia Wars on the wall, discussions, groups or in messages.
Facebook has made the link in two colors; the change comes in the second part of the link which is now in black. By doing this, Facebook has rendered links unusable – this will have a huge impact on anyone who posts jobs, gifts and profile links- as of right now they DO NOT work. This does include copying and pasting a link into a new browser window- the link will only take you to your own MW Profile.
As clans post links for wars, the impact will be felt much harder. Hopefully, this is temporary; we are looking into it now and will keep you posted.

UPDATE: From the 06/04/10 News Letter of The Daily Post
"The big news is that the link issue looks to be getting fixed. Some, if not all links getting posted now are once again whole; some are still not working, as in the green mafia wars url in your profile. We will continue to monitor the problem and keep you informed going forward if there is a final fix for the problem. One fix many use is tinyurl. This is certainly one way to get around the problem; however, it’s prudent to point out that all URL shortening services carry some to significant risks. Most of these are also banned in many countries, as well as many companies".
Another fix for posting links was brought to my attention from the admin of the other clan/family I belong to, [41C]For One Cause.
When you're on your bully's MW profile page, click "add to hitlist". If you are able to put a bounty on them, right click their name and click "copy link location". You can use that when you post a link. Diane and I tested this a few times and it works.
