Facebook Security Glitch in Groups

It's not REALLY a secret, but we got your attention, huh?
This is important stuff to understand, folks!

There's been some sort of change in the way Facebook posts group activity to your own wall, and it impacts the group security of our FarmVille Link-Sharing Groups.

In a nutshell, this glitch allows you to view the wall of a group member on your friends list, and view their postings to that group, including comments and links posted, even if you may not be a group member.  Previously you could see these posts, but could not click-through to the original group posting.

Posting a shortened link using Bit.ly

Seeing links shortened with Bit.ly but not sure how to do that? This tutorial walks you through setting up Bit.ly, step-by-step so that you, too can post links to your wall, email or your favorite link-sharing group.

A lot of farmers are posting links nowadays.  Some use links to post bonuses to groups, and some post links in order to avoid having their bonuses appear in feed aggregators or collected by snagging applications.

Whatever your reason for posting a link, you need to know that Facebook has a limit of 420 characters when posting something as a status - so if you're posting a link, you will probably want to shorten it first.  If you try and post a FarmVille link that's too long, either the link will not post at all, or what does post becomes uncollectable.

There are many link shortening services available.  For several reasons, I prefer using a service called 'Bit.ly'.

This may all SEEM like a lot of work, but it's really just a matter of a few simple steps one time, and then it's set up for you permanently.  You'll be saving yourself hours of work in the long run, and we'll walk you through what you need to do, step by step.
