I have a font based on the UNICODE Private Use Area (PUA). It makes use of the range U+E001 to U+E114. After installing the font on my Windows 7 laptop, I was able to type, save and retrieve text on Wordpad. I then set the font in Chrome and was able to send and receive emails using the font. Great!
I want to be able to send messages and posts to my timeline on facebook, so a group of us could study the script further. I could type and send text normally but only a blank message or post is received. Moreover, if I exit and relaunch facebook, the previous message disappears. In its place I see the message :Attachment Unavailable. This attachment may have been removed or the person who shared
Am I breaching any security protocol? Doesn't facebook recognise PUA fonts?
Can anyone help please?

I have created a couple custom open graph stories and I'm trying to translate them from English to French, but every time I try to save my translated string I get an error message in a Facebook popup saying 'Translation submission failed'.
I don't know if this problem is a Facebook bug or if there is a problem with my app configuration, but here is what I can tell you to help finding the problem.
I am using the new facebook developer interface as you can see in the linked pictures.
My app primary language is English (US) and I'm trying to translate to French (Canada).
I'm an administrator of this app, but not the creator. My co worker who created the app is able to translate strings without this error message.
He tried to add me as an 'Language managers' in the translation dashboard with my user id, but it's still not working.
I really need to get stories translated for the launch of the website. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Here is a linked picture of what happens

Thank you
Please double check that your application's primary language is set to English (US) (Under app details) In my case, it was set to Turkish and when I was trying to translate English open graph texts to Turkish, it was giving the similar error but in Turkish.
This change fixed my problem.
I've use following URL to send message with prefill text.
http://www.facebook.com/messages/[user]?msg_prefill=[message]
ex. http://www.facebook.com/messages/facebook?msg_prefill=hello
But msg_prefill parameter seem to be depreciated on new Facebook Message layout.

Does anyone know how to add prefill message for new layout?
I still can't send message with prefill text. But I've found another way to send link using Send Dialog.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/send/
ex. 1
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=123050457758183&to=zuck&name=Hello&link=http://www.google.com/&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/
However this may not working for some people (including me) as using some domains in "link" parameter cause error as this bug.

Also, Send Dialog links can't use on iPhone apps, Android apps and mobile version of facebook.

Is there any way to customize apprequest message of facebook?
e.g. if a person sends request to his friend then default message comes "Shahid sent you a request in FarmVille"
here Shahid is username and FarmVille is an app name.
screenshot is given below
screenshot http://www.ogilvyapplications.com/temp/apprequest.jpg
You can only customise the message for where it appears in the Games and Apps dashboard, the notification in the dropdown will always have that default text. See the Requests docs for more information.
you can see in the screenshot above that the text CAN be edited. it almost always is "... sent you a request in ..." but there are some different ones, like "... wants to include you as a professional connection in ..."
i still didnt find out how to change it though
maybe you need to add "verbs" to your apps (in this case - "include" you as a "professional connection", or something like that) and thats the only way to change the text?
When I browse the inbox on iPhones and iPads, I see a short preview of the text below the subject line. Gmail also does the same thing (though I don't know if this works the same way).
Is it some way I can influence what text that should be used for the preview, instead of simply using the first sentence(s) in the mail?
Background: I am updating a newsletter that sends out news stories automatically. Usually, the subject line is identical to the header text, so the preview text is redundant. I want to make it show some of the text of the actual article instead.
I was working on a newsletter system, it's done now and it works fine. Today I was talking with a client about an upgrade for the system that does the following ->
"Automatic link tracking: View who
opened your email and what links they
clicked on."
Now, I have an idea on how to do this to add #id variable from the user query string on each link and then add a counter on each site to see who opened the link. BUT, is it possible to do this somehow else (without the counter on each link)? And how is it possible to track who opened your mail??? I saw a couple of newsletter system websites that say they can allegedly do this...
Thank you for your time!
The only way to track who opens your emails that I can think of is to use the query string trick with the images embedded in your email. This approach is obviously fragile since viewing of inline images can be turned of in most email clients.
As was mentioned; it is not possible to track everyone who opened the email. But you can track who clicked on a specific link. The method you mentioned with the #id variable will work - but instead of embedding the actual ID in the link, I would recommend encrypting that data and not sending the actual user id in the email.
To get the users who actually opened the newsletter, you can insert a 1x1 pixel image into the email as hidden content. That pixel would come from www.myserver.com/tracker.gif?foo=bar.
Then you would look at your web server log or log this request in a database so that you can track the ones who really opened the newsletter.
