I thought the same thing, so I started looking into it on that end first. However, when linking from a different Kunena site the link is treated just fine by the same Facebook page.

Ok, FB recognizes this link: farmout.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&...4&id=10&Itemid=55#10

These are links are to the same topic. One with SEF enabled and the other without. Now I have to figure out why FB likes the un-optimized links more.
