not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this but i’m sure some nerd will know the answer…

did something change with how facebook handles images? i used to be able to get the url for an image in a facebook album and insert an image in a forum post. the link used to end in a .jpg suffix…now the images just end in random letters and numbers with no file suffix.

is it something different with the facebook structure and is there a work around?
