Garbled URL's in Private Messages.

[Mcarle]

Every time I try to put a url in a Private message it gets garbled up with extra chars and then won't go to the right place.

Ok after that test I deliberately garbled a url and it STILL work in the open forums....

Very strange indeed...

I'd submit a ticket to SEOMoz tech support or shoot a quick email to help@seomoz.org. They usually get back to you and resolve issues very quickly. I haven't personally experienced this, so I've got nothing.

Blessing in disguise though...

I did notice you haven't set up your Facebook page username yet, and you've got waaay more than the 25 fans you need to set one up.

Just click Edit Page under the Manage menu at the top right of your FB page, and then click Basic Information in the left menu. You should see Username near the top. I'm sure you can take it from there.

You'll be able to link to facebook.com/MariahCarlePhotography rather than www.facebook.com/pages/Mariah-Carle-Photography/162925300446877

... so at least the garbled up URLs will be shorter

That might be part of the problem...
