Hi everybody!

I'm having an issue when I share an external link on my EasySocial stream. IThe stream item is displaying "Access Denied," and no external image is displaying? Is this normal or do I have a configuration issue?

Thanks for your help!
Hey Jason,

Looks like the problem is because the site at milnesford.com is rejecting the request by our crawler because our crawler is trying to identify itself as Facebook using it's user agent, (facebookexternalhit/1.1) as per identified on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/crawler.

However, it seems like the milnesford.com site is recognizing the agent of "Facebot". I have made some modifications on your site, can you give this a try again?

Hi Muhammad,

I see that. I'm wondering exactly how you embedded the link? I copied and pasted this link: http://www.milnesford.com/used/Ford/2010-Ford-Edge-c90fed940a0e0ae97ec0c9105e0cc3fa.htm into my stream and got Access Denied?
