Clickable Gift Links in FB Notes (again)

Due to recent changes in Facebook Notes where http links are no longer clickable by default and just appear as regular text. This tip is for all those who are posting their gift links in Note and using Link-a-Nator (v2.12 beta) to generate those links.

Normally, one would copy+paste the links from the second results window, labeled TinyURL Links. Just change to copy+paste from the last results window, labeled Notes Links instead. By making this small change your gift links in a Facebook Note will be clickable once again. This is because the Facebook Note still honours the <a href> html element tag.

You can even use the following template to make any http link clickable in the main body of the FB Note. <a href="http://your.link.here">Name.of.Link.Here</a>

I'm not sure when this changed, but I just noticed it earlier today. When searching for specific free gifts or links in our news feed, any associated links are no longer clickable. Not a huge deal, per se, but it's annoying because if you want to claim the item, you now have to copy and paste the link. 

When viewing the news feed normally, any links will be clickable.

But if you search Facebook looking for a certain item, the links aren't clickable.

:(

Thanks Bill Breister for pointing this out :)
