How have you done it because FB is 'special' and you CurtEastPoint Dec 2018 #1

It's because sites strip the querystring arguments (characters following the question mark) better Dec 2018 #2

The comma after your link got added to the link. LakeSuperiorView Dec 2018 #3

What you can do is go to http://tinypic.com select the radio button for URL, paste the URL in, click Upload Now, and copy/paste the Direct Link for Layouts output into DU. Like so...

*edit - thanks LakeSuperiorView for the heads up about the broken link.
