I just noticed the format of FL mantelpiece URLs has changed. Until recently, a space in your name would be "~" in the URL; now it becomes "SPACESYMBOL". This change happened within the last few days, I think, because I set up this account a few days ago and it was still a "~" then.
This means anybody with a name with a space in it, your link in your forum signature is just redirecting people to the general FL logon page. Dunno if this is permanent, but I didn't see anyone else talking about it, so I thought I'd mention it. Also, I don't think this is really the right section to post under, but I figured it would probably get the most notice in this section.
Edit: Putting in an actual space or "%20" in the URL also works for both Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. If someone tests in other browsers, I'll add it here.

I noticed this too... let's just say I'm not thrilled!
 In Firefox at least, just using a simple spacing character still works.

Just tested phryne's link in Edge too; also works. Don't know about Chrome or anything else.

This . . . is highly frustrating.
I would have liked FBG to have told us about this, considering social actions are a massive part of the game . . . and this may explain why suddenly I have a drop. I'll change my links in a moment to reflect the change, but dang I'm peeved off . . . maybe FBG just wasn't aware, I'm hoping, but no word from them at all?

I find it highly unlikely that FBG deliberately changed the link to http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/RobinSPACESYMBOLAlexander

can confirm that a regular space character works in Chrome though it automatically becomes "%20"

Wow. This is annoying.
Though I'm pretty sure mine's still far from being the weirdest-looking link right now:
