posting facebook images.....

anyone having issues posting pics from facebook?

lately ive been getting a lot of URLs that look like this

ht tp s://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10636039_10203469767403276_6613787476627644203_n.jpg?oh=5ac35ed252d649cb7673205e8de9feca&oe=5493C8A5&__gda__=1418978995_3ac13f9abfaa292442e08af84a4eed40

and nothing i do will let me post the image in here. i end up with

?oh=5ac35ed252d649cb7673205e8de9feca&oe=5493C8A5&__gda__=1418978995_3ac13f9abfaa292442e08af84a4eed40

The images don't really get a page to themselves for some reason.

Facebook foolishly puts a bunch of parameters at the end of the picture name so that Facebook can do something with the file request other than serve the image.

DU seems to be stripping off the parameters from the image URL when it creates the HTML from your post.

Your best bet is to probably copy the picture to an free image hosting site and link to it from there.
