facebook adding ? to my URL's - El Forum - 02-17-2010

Hello
I'm having a problem with a site and facebook. When people shares it in their walls or using my app, Facebook adds "?ref=nf" at the end
http://www.example.com/?ref=nf
and that makes my site show a 404 error - not found, probably related to the disallowed characters in the URL.
As that's the only place where the ? is added, do you know some way to redirect that to my homepage without having to allow special characters? I am a bit scared of the warning message in config.php
Code:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Allowed URL Characters
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| .....
| As a security measure you are STRONGLY encouraged to restrict URLs to
| as few characters as possible. By default only these are allowed: a-z 0-9~%.:_-
|.....|
| DO NOT CHANGE THIS UNLESS YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THE REPERCUSSIONS!!
|
*/Thanks

No, it is not about disallowed url characters. Search for "using Pretty URLs and GET in Codeigniter".
