If you don't tell FB which picture in a page should represent that page, it picks for you, sometimes with strange consequences.</p> <p>In the code on forum pages I now tell the FB code to use the thumbnail for the background picture. Hopefully they listen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greg---others-profile-thumbnails-coming-up-when-i-link-to-a-post#post-635700 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 19:56:51 +0000 Kari 635700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg, I've seen that happening on my FB timeline for NON-YLF posts too - occasionally friends' posts or comments on my news feed show up with someone else's thumbnail, so I wonder if it's related to something wonky on the Facebook end. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greg---others-profile-thumbnails-coming-up-when-i-link-to-a-post#post-635627 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:54:56 +0000 Mo 635627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cool, thanks! I didn't want to give Jonesy unwanted Facebook exposure </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greg---others-profile-thumbnails-coming-up-when-i-link-to-a-post#post-635611 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:33:44 +0000 Greg 635611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have made this change and in future if you link to one of your posts in FB it should use the current monthly cover image and the thumbnail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greg---others-profile-thumbnails-coming-up-when-i-link-to-a-post#post-635585 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 18:13:55 +0000 Greg 635585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mo. Facebook is doing some weird stuff recently when it tries to pick images to represent posts on the wall and timeline. I have been struggling with this on the blog. It seemed that FB loved using that little photo of Angie at the Today Show at the bottom of the page, even when we wanted it to use an image from the post.</p> <p>The good news is that I have figured out how to nudge Facebook's code in the right direction. I will apply that same fix on the forum pages and hopefully it will clear this up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/greg---others-profile-thumbnails-coming-up-when-i-link-to-a-post#post-635520 Sat, 02 Jun 2012 17:26:35 +0000 Mo 635520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure anyone would be worried about it, but this is the second time I've noticed when I link to a YLF post on Facebook, Jonesy's profile pic is the thumbnail. I believe it was hers last time I did so. I know it's not her actual face, and we all know posts here are very public, but I thought everyone should know. Not sure if she's the default thumbnail or just *my* default thumbnail for some reason lol! Odd that it would not be my pic, or even Angie's. </p>
