Summary0000176: Incorrect import from Facebook
DescriptionSeems bbcode.php is working no good.
The imported from Facebook posts are looking as links (the same twice) and small picture.
For example, Youtube video we see as simple link, the picture below, the same link again and the text (description of the video).
The same one with imported pictures and links.

Facebook does not have an "article" like other social networks. They have an article with optional videos, photos, links, and other stuff attached to it.

Sometimes the information in this "extra stuff" is already in the post, sometimes it is not. Sometimes it's in the post, but doesn't show up with the "extra stuff". There's no way to know for sure. Just so we don't miss anything - we provide the post *and* all the "extra stuff".

If we leave it out of the post, or if we don't provide the "extra stuff", you may be missing a photo or video. If we put it in, you might see it once or you might see it twice. This is usually better than not seeing it at all.

But bbcode must convert http://youtube.com/watch?v=*** [^] to [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=***[youtube] [^] in a body of the text.
Are you agree?

I'll see what can be done. Currently there is no special processing for Youtube/Facebook links, as Facebook handles many different video formats and providers and youtube itself has hundreds of different URL formats which can represent the same video. We just treat them all as links.
